If Ashiok is a type of Djinn, it would explain their ability to create real things from peoples nightmares in the tropy Genie way of "your wish is granted, but..."
That's a good theory. But what about the lack of eyes part though?
Secondly inniaz was from dominaria somif ashiok Is the same type of dijiin ashiok would have already known About the phyrexians and yawgmoth which are even more nightmaric than the new phyrexia ones
Honestly this would have been such neat foreshadowing, if MtG was capable of foreshadowing something like that. Provided we don't learn about Ashiok's origins within the next three years or so, that is. They made Kaya and Dovin for War of the Spark but they appeared three years before that. So that's roughly how long they can plan things in advance due to the production cycle.
Granted, with the new-world-each-set paradigm we will burn through storylines much quicker, but I'm not holding my hopes up given their track record.
Plus, as people have said, it'd be weird if Ashiok was from Dominaria, due to how they reacted to the knowledge of Phyrexia from Elspeth. (Unless Ashiok has lost memories like Jace, which might make some thematic sense given Ashiok's powers and magic, but would also feel like using the same trick twice and doesn't truly jive with what we know about them so far.)
Look at Inniaz’s horns and smoke overhead, just like Ashiok. Have we finally found out about Ashiok’s race?
