Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Sorceries (4)

Deck Description

Lots of combos though I doubt the opponent would let them take off.
Jace -7 + Stormbreath = 20 to the face.
Arcanist + Druid + Tactics = Infinite Damage.
Arcanist + Acolyte + Tactics = Infinite Mana.

Deck discussion for RUG Combo Control

The idea is good, but to ultimate Jace for the dragon, you'll have to protect it... ...besides, you don't have enough ramp for the curve of the deck (10 ramps, but you don't have effective spells that are cheap & 3 of your ramps are 4 mana, + you don't have draw power)...

It's easier now to get rid of a planeswalker... ...this combo needs time & has several conditions, because it's hard to maintain Jace for that long especially in a deck that runs no wipes...

You'll need more draw power & use Anger of the Gods mainboard(3)... ...drop unnesesarry high mana creatures, like the Prophet, Mistcutter(sideboard may be)... ...Arcanist is slow, I won't use it, yyou don't even run much instant...

You have a total 10 ramp cards, but the only 1 stabil is the 1 wich has Hexproof, Caryatid... ...Zhur could easily get shot & if you go up against control & you suffer a wipe, you gonna' have mana problems... ...it's a shame, that Farseek just left standard... ...it was the most useful card until now.......

So if you fix the draw power & start not relying much on your mana creatures, than the deck could be competative... ...if you find a way to protect Jace(may be some counters... ...Negate in the sideboard(3-4) would help for sure).......

Jace and the dragon isn't the only combo. Arcanist + Druid + Tactics = Inf damage. Arcanist + Acolyte + Tactics = Inf mana (and that could make one huge hydra).

Though you are right, it won't happen' too often... ...but it really is creative!..

I do agree with what you said though... I'm just looking for ways to speed this up. Maybe a control SB. Thoughts?

You need draw power to quickly have your combo & counters to protect the elements of the comboes... ...though it's easier said than done, since the cheap draw spells are rubbish today in standard.......

Elite Arcanist + Prophet of Kruphix + Advent of the Wurm = awesome combo
Idk if you want to put it in, but it is very good.

I think you don't really need the combo with Jace. Focus on the last two combos, especially infinite mana + mistcutter hydra is hilarious. I would say:
- 3 Jace
- 1 Cyclonic Rift
- 2 Stormbreath dragon
+ 2 Hammer of Purphoros
+ 2 Urban Evolution
+ 2 Unexpected results (? I'm not too sure about this)

I am going to keep the deck like this for now (just for personal record), but I will post another r/u/g and a bant deck to modify via suggestion.

Once you have infinite mana you could have another Arcanist + Burst of Strength for infinite +1/+1 counters, for the trick to work though you already need the infinite mana and the +1/+1 counters can only be placed on the Arcanist (so you can untap with Burst of Strengths second effect). Would be funny seeing a huge Arcanist rampaging towards your opponent! :)
