History of Mulligans

A brief history of mulligan.


When the game was released and the first set Alpha saw the light of day.

“No land Mulligan”: At the beginning of the game, if your starting hand doesn't contain any land card, you may reveal it to your opponent, shuffle your cards in your library and draw another hand of seven cards.”

“All land Mulligan”: At the beginning of the game, if your starting hand contains seven lands, you may reveal it your opponent, shuffle your cards in your library and draw another hand of seven cards.“

You may only use a Mulligan once a game.

First change. Pro Tour Paris April 1994. (“Paris Mulligan”)

You would no longer need to show you hand to your opponent to draw another opening hand, you just had to shuffle your hand into your library to draw another one with one less card.

Second change. Pro Tour Vancouver 2011
