RUG Combo Control

Ideally is meant to draw into the highly effective interactions of GU with the copying capability of R and the combos with creatures made possible through R.

Infinite Mana:

1. Palinchron + Phantasmal Image

2. Palinchron + Deadeye Navigator

Primary Win Conditions:

1. Bounce all permanents I don't control using Capsize (requires infinite mana)

2. Bounce all permanents I don't control using Cryptic Command + Eternal Witness + Deadeye Navigator (requires infinite mana)

3. Deck opponent out using Blue Sun's Zenith (requires infinite mana)

4. Bounce all permanents I don't control using Venser, Shaper Savant + Deadeye Navigator (requires infinite mana)

5. Take infinite turns using Time Stretch and Eternal Witness + Deadeye Navigator

6. Generate infinite tokens and swing via Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Pestermite, or Deceiver Exarch + Splinter Twin

Control Synergy:

1. Deadeye Navigator + Eternal Witness (powerful recursion engine)

2. Deadeye Navigator + Venser, Shaper Savant (bounce engine against permanents and spells)

3. Deadeye Navigator + Mystic Snake (counterspell engine)

4. Deadeye Navigator + Snapcaster Mage (decent recursion engine)
