Information

This is a deck I got to Masters with last season. It still seems to be doing well. Everyone tries to snipe The Merriest Mandrake but with Meditation and Pause for Reflection they can escape before anything bad happens!

Lord Ragnar is best friends with mandrakes, who knew? He's especially BFFs with Shadowcreeper since the discard is a cost, so you don't even need to pitch a second card!

You can bounce anyone to get the ultimates back, and bounce Ragnar to put him down again, but if you refresh an ultimate without using it again, Ragnar doesn't respond to it.

Aika, Whirling Death is turn 8, so feel free to replace her with whatever lategame closer you have to hand.

Don't forget that Lord Ragnar also hits Mask of Torment for a second juicy Tormentor.

I don't know how this deck will fare if Turn to Seed ever comes back. Transforming hurts here, but most of this stuff is Mandrakes and Mandrake Accessories anyway, plus its strength is flexibility, so it'll probably be fine.

I've theorycrafted a decklist for Ragnar surrounding Stealth Ults, but I'm not sure if they will work again once they've been Revealed, and I don't want to craft expensive cards to test, like 4x The Last Carnosaur. Do you happen to know if it works?
AntiVector Eternal Version: 21.05.18
I've done some quick testing and determined that if the Ult goes off once like it's supposed to, then Ragnar will trigger it again. HOWEVER, if it whiffs (gets revealed before it reveals itself) then Ragnar will NOT trigger it.

Hope that clears things up. Let me know how it goes, I've been wanting to craft The Last Carnosaur myself!

That tracks with what I would think, thanks for confirming. I still have to craft some other stuff, but I'll let you know if I bust it out.

I used to play a similar deck to this one, it's a fun style. You probably want to get Rust Machine in there, it plays well with Merriest and Ragnar. I also like Kairos' Choice more than the other bounce effects. It doubles as removal, and it lets you immediately replay Ragnar.

Lord Ragnar with 2x Rust Machine and Lumen Attendant returning Kairos' Choice was an infinite loop, but at some point that interaction stopped working. If it gets fixed, this would be a good shell for it.

Rust Machine is a good choice, thanks for that!

My only reservation with Kairos' Choice is that it seems like the escape pods being 1 mana helps out in dicier situations. Leaving 2 mana open seems to make people more wary and less likely to use (waste) their bomb removal. It's certainly worth considering, though! I'll have to try it out.
