Oracle Text

This creature gets +3/+0 as long as there are ten or more cards in a single graveyard.

This creature can't be blocked as long as you control an Ashiok planeswalker.

Ashiok's minions plumb the depths of the ocean and the psyche.

The first ability of Swimmer in Nightmares gives it just +3/+0, no matter how many graveyards beyond the first have ten cards.

The ability that modifies the power of Swimmer in Nightmares applies only while it's on the battlefield.
