TL;DR:
Nomnom's Big Pan Seems pretty good in a self milling Mandrake deck.
It's Ultimate Mandrakes, but with a frying pan. When it works and Merriest Mandrake sticks long enough to reduce the cost of Shadowcreeper's Ultimate, and that Ultimate activates Invasive Creeper or Venomous Nightshade, I start to understand why so many people take up gardening in their retirement. It's just so satisfying to see them grow.
Darkwater Vines is low key an MVP here for Regen. It's basically two chump blockers in one. Or, it's eating removal. Either way is a win.
Do I need Hermit Gardener? No. Not at all. But, Little Seeds entertain me.
When it all comes together there are multiple overlapping synergies and it can just be too many things for an opponent to deal with.
Market could use work, as could the power base. Feedback welcome, but I'm not trying to rank with this patch of weeds.
EDIT: I made the front page with this? How does one make the front page? Who do I thank for that? Also, some good advice in the comments here!

Yes, you do want to discard lots of cards, but discarding 1 is generally = discarding 2, except you get more card advantage from the former.
I'll try it and see how it runs.
Also, I recommend plugging your decks into shiftstoned.com and seeing how consistent their power bases look.
May I suggest you add Kudzu technique in your market..
