Mulligan rule should be fine. It might cause people to mulligan slightly more aggressively or play 26 lands instead of 27 or something but I wonder what sort of percentage bump in wins off mulls will happen. My guess it won't be very big but enough to be noticeable if parsed out. Also wonder how many people will keep dogshit hands and get punished.

"A huge boost to combo" is some hyperbole.

They've got numbers on the amount of impact a single mulligan has on the outcomes of a game of Magic and it's probably a lot. It's probably too much for a game that takes takes itself as seriously as Magic does and with Hearthstone eating up market share they have real pressure to start reevaluating their product. The mana system and the mulligan rules arefossils.There's nothing to be done about lands but you can certainly take another look at mulligans.

Small but noticable over many games type boost. Might make people mulligan a bit more aggressively. Almost the same as a huge boost.

I'm mostly excited to see people keep awful 6 card hands because of scry 1!

All untapped cards in play must face the controller of that card.

So are they going to warn Elves players for flipping Wirewood Symbiote/Quirion Ranger after using it for the turn? Because that would be hilarious.

Get some [EXHAUSTED] counters to track game state

Weren't they sold as ManaStones or something like that?

So, I won a Regional PTQ last weekend. Now qualified for Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar.

But if you're playing legacy dredge any kind of mulligan prevents you from glorious turn 1 draw-discard!
