U based Eldrazi

I read an article today on a control based Ramp deck. It's attempting to fight against fast Aggros today with control cards: counterspells, mass removals, draw spells. Then a card immediately showed up on my mind: Mage-Ring Network.
Mage-Ring Network

Though not exactly a ramp card, it helps to cast Ugin, Kozilek and Ulamog.

Let's borrow a Esper Dragon shell from Mtggoldfish:

Is Jace necessary? I don't need to flashback the removals if I can ramp faster with cards like Hedron Achieve to cast Ulamog. What I need is better draw spells to ensure I get Ulamog.
