we'll allow for the same style mulligan where you instead just set aside that hand and draw, utilizing the vancouver rules without all the damn shuffling to speed things up.
we've had new people show up for years and do exactly this style of mulligan.
tonight we had a dude show up who, after winning several games in a row, threw the biggest fit over how mulligans were handled. he insisted it wasn't the way anyone does mulligans anywhere.
I mean, clearly he's wrong, since your group does it. All three playgroups I've been a part of since the switch to Vancouver mulligan have done it, too. If nobody anywhere does that, I guess you and I (and the people we play with) don't actually exist.
Setting aside the hand rather than shuffling between each does modify your odds slightly, but the amount by which your odds change is very low, and it saves a ton of time. Especially if you're properly randomizing your deck each time you shuffle, which requires 11 riffles (or even more if you suck at shuffling, which many people do when it comes to 99 card decks).
You get one free mulligan, where you shuffle your entire hand, shuffle your deck, and draw a new 7. If you mulligan further than that, you shuffle your whole hand and draw one less card each time, and you can scry 1 once you keep a hand before the game begins.

These are literally Vancouver mulligan for a multiplayer game.
