Using any other mulligan other than the official mulligan is cheating. If you feel the need to cheat in a game that promotes social games you must be a very sad person. The "it saves time" excuse is total bs. It doesn't take long to shuffle up and draw a new hand. Even if it takes 5 mins to find an acceptable hand what does it matter when games can go for several hours?
Holy crap this is why I stopped frequenting the rules forum. This is a seriously bonkers thing to say man. Op is a sad person for wanting to save 5+ minutes every game? In my group games would last 40 minutes typically sometimes less.
I want you to go stand in front of a mirror and read this post out loud and try to imagine how it might come across to another person.
Anyway, I've had three different Mulligan systems:
Standard
Set aside draw seven reduce by one after the free ine
standard but don't reduce the count and don't abuse it.
The default system sucks and causes a lot of nongames which is exaggerated when playing some players are playing with lower powered decks.
My favorite is the set aside method but it overly rewards low land count combo decks which is a bummer. If your play group doesn't abuse it it's pretty fun.
Second favorite is just letting people stay at 7.
It doesn't take 5 mins to mulligan. I'm of the slowest players at my flgs and I draw a couple hands under a minute. And if you think that the official rules of magic "suck" then maybe you should try some other game? Hearthstone maybe?

Um, no. If the rule is modified beforehand and accepted by all participants then it is a house rule. It would only be cheating if it was someone breaking an agreed-upon rule after the fact.
Yeah sure but the in the op it isn't mentioned anywhere that this cheating mulligan method was agreed to by this guy who wants to enforce official rules of magic before start of the game.
