I believe that Ashiok is far too slow.
For the price of one "Damnation" you could have 3x Inquisition of Kozilek. Which is arguably better.
You are the Unconventional Burn Deck. You don't care about the enemy's life total or board position, but I understand the compulsion to set the enemy back to put yourself in a better position to "Burn".
That said, the PROactive approach is better than the REactive approach. Prevent a high-value threat from hitting board before it becomes a problem. With Ashiok and Damnation coming out, you have neatly opened up three slots (yey!). I argue 3x Inquisiton over 4x because they become SHITE in the late game. At that point, if you've been putting your mennas into Mill, you OR your opponent should be at the edge of death.
Disruption becomes less impactful IMMEDIATELY after both players' Turn 2. From that point on, all your mennas should fund Mill spells and Mill abilities. Conceive of yourself as a Burn deck. If you don't find a way to take 10 cards out of their deck in your opening hand, ship it back and hope for better.

Inquisition, or thoughtseize, or something is probably a good idea. I agree completely on the PRO vs RE, but remember even black controls have SOME measure of board control. The Damnation is more of a "last turn" kinda thing, pardon the yugioh pun. To be used only when I'm boned and need to wipe the slate to last one more turn. Still, Still, I should include inquisition somehow; it is a staple.


As for Ashiok, I'm on the fence. She is slow, but offers wonderful blockers. That being said, I can always block with the crab or snap caster in a pinch... Hrmm, I could test with it out.
