So this is based off of isomorphic's The Derriest Mandrake.

After playing their list for a while, there were so many tweaks it was a different deck entirely. There are a lot of changes, but the biggest would have to be the removal of the Auralian Merchant and the Veteran Strategist. The way that these two units would end up sitting on the board, not stop attackers from getting lifesteal and warcry, and then eventually chump block to buy me one more turn; it was very discouraging.
This is definitely a work in progress, but I'm really liking how this list feels and wanted to share. Please note that this is made for combating the Gauntlet.
The other main add was to change the top end from Twinbrood Sauropod to Memory Dredger. While not adding to the Dinosaurs plan, it has some really fun interactions with all the units except the smugglers. Notably, when a Avisaur Patriarch is on the field, Memory dredger can bring back other Patriarchs and Kimi.
Also note that there is no Azindel. Personally I don't really enjoy the grindy games he seems to put me in. I did try a tome of horrors in the gauntlet for a while but felt like everything else had more of a place than that. I may change my mind on excavate later. It's really in there as insurance for if you need a fourth memory dredger.
Mirror Image is really good with this list. It copies the killer effect, as well as any Patriarch or Twilight Hunt buffs that the unit may have. Then it allows you to ultimate AGAIN. It can also be used to get a second Mandrake on the board, which is huge.
Finally, the combination of Blackhall Warleader, Kimi, Expedition Guide, and Sodi's Spellshaper means that you have 12 opportunities to play a card on curve that can win the game completely on their own. Unanswered, these seem overwhelming to me. Add to that units set up to block are completely circumvented by by the Thief's Pick.
I would love to hear from you if you used the deck. Let me know if you made any substitutions and if they improved the deck for you!
