Mulling Over the Mulligan

[pepokish]

Here's the thing; if the mulligan gives your opponent an advantage, your deck is terrible.  That would mean you depend greatly on having your opponent get a bad hand on the first draw.  All the mulligan does is improve your chance to draw 0-cost cards.   You should be able to handle an opponent with a great hand.

Even aside from that, the only way the mulligan would be bad news for you, would be if you have a ton of 0-cost non-pillar cards which should not really be played on the first turn, like holy flash or sundial.  If you center your deck around 0-cost pillarless cards like nova or immolation + photon, the mulligan will work just as well for you.

Cards that count against your mulligan:

Nova - unupgraded only
Photon/Ray of Light
Immolate/Cremation
Holy Flash - upgraded only
Spark/Ball of Lightning
Dagger/Dirk
Sundials - upgraded only

Here's a fun fact: Mulligan nerfed every single one of those cards.

The more of those cards you have on your deck, the worse opening hands you will draw (more opening hands with no pillars in them)

So kids, take that into consideration when building those decks.

Why nerfed? You'll get the exact same hands you would get right now.

Like cisco already corrected me, these cards weren't nerfed. All the other cards were buffed.
