This is my current-ish build for Ruric Thar. Win by smashing faces. Faces potentially irritated with minor stax shenanigans.

Main win-con is Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker / Splinter Twin + Zealous Conscripts (can grab both ZC and Kiki on the same Uncage The Menagerie), Great Oak Guardian (creates arbitrarily scaling creatures, and an arbitrary amount of mana with dorks on the field), or Combat Celebrant (least optimal, creates an arbitrary amount of combat steps).

Other win-cons include Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw, Ruric Thar, the Unbowed + Grafted Exoskeleton, Hellkite Tyrant, and Kiki/Twin Combo + Impact Tremors (for when combat won't do it.)

I would love suggestions and helpful advice, this was mainly pieced to its current iteration over about 6 months, through changes in my playgroups meta, and through varying degrees of interest and personal play-style changes.
