I’d also go with 1 more jace if possible. While narset is powerful I don’t see her as a jace replacement.
Sideboard:
Narset, Parter of Veils-Do you really need a third copy?
Ashiok, Dream Render-Seem pretty eh to me. If you have a compelling reason to be playing her so be it, I couldn’t justify it though.
I have only one Jace and I hate it, plus Narset beats opponent's Jaces. Ashiok is my tech slot, I like him versus a lots of matchups

With regards to sideboarding:
UB Reanimator:
Stoneblade can have a real problem with combo decks, partly because it just doesn’t have a compelling clock. SFM plus batterskull is fastest clock this deck offers, and it’s still decently slow.
Which is why I disagree with subbing out your entire SFM package. You need to apply pressure with them. And if SFM+Batterskull is a slow clock, TNN’s clock is positively glacial. Plus UB reanimator doesn’t have many targeted killspells if any, so TNN’s protection clause is largely irrelevant.
Ashiok probably isn’t that good here. UB reanimator tends to be pretty land light, and entomb is a 1 mana instant. Probably not great odds that Ashiok is able to stop a relevant fetchland or 1 mana instant.
In: 2 Vendilion Clique, 2 Containment Priest, 2 Flusterstorm, 2 Surgical Extraction
Out: 4 True Name Nemesis, 2 Council’s Judgment, 1 Swords to Plowshares, 1 Umezawa’s Jitte
Show and Tell:
IMO, same story as UB reanimator, you need a clock to kill show and tell, but you’ve taken it out. I don’t know why didn’t bring vendilion clique in for this matchup, but you probably should.
In: 2 Vendilion Clique, 2 Containment Priest, 2 Flusterstorm, 2 Surgical Extraction, 1 Disenchant
Out: 4 True Name Nemesis, 2 Council’s Judgment, 1 Swords to Plowshares, 1 Umezawa’s Jitte, 1 Spell Snare
I agree with about the fastest clock possible. I put 2 Vendilion and I also put Jailer because, if Sho&Tell resolves, I could exile Emrakul with the Jailer.
