House rules: Mulligans
General forum
Posted on Feb. 9, 2014, 1:54 p.m. by Kcin
My playgroup has a house rule:
1 free Mulligan per game (poor hand, shuffle it into your library, redraw 7). after this you standard mulligan (-1 card/ mull)... I was wondering how many other people use this or something similar?

My playgroup has the same rule in casual matches: 1 free mulligan. I makes games more fun as people don't lose because of bad hands as often, so both decks are more likely to play to their full potential.

Since i only play edh now, my playgroup does edh mulligans. One free mulligan, then -1 ect. If somebody goes down to five or something without a land or completely flooded, then we just tell him to put the entire hand on the bottom then draw that many cards.

My play group does just straight up free mulligans although it is understood to not abuse them. We are all good about keeping even remotely playable hands and it ensures everyone has a decent start and mana screw/flood doesn't show up until later in the game.

In Partial Paris, you can put aside any number of cards from your hand, then draw that many cards -1. You can repeat this process any number of times, and when you are done you shuffle the cards you set aside into your library.

Partial Paris Mulligans are:
Take any number of cards from your hand and exile them.
Draw the number of cards you exiled -1 from the top of your deck.
Repeat 1-2 as many times as you want.
Shuffle all of the exiled cards into your library.
If you are using the 1 free mulligan rule you draw the same number the first time instead of 1 less.

I will have to introduce the partial Paris To my group.... It seems it can be really helpful.

Partial Paris is mainly for EDH games where the decks lack consistency compared to 60 card.

We usually have a rule where if you have 1 or no land, or 7 land (Unless you are supposed to have that many lands in your opening hand) you get a mulligan. And if each player needs to mulligan, they both do it for 7 again

Almost everyone uses the 1 free mulligan for casual games. My EDH playgroup also uses the Partial Paris rules, in addition to 1 free mulligan.
