It's a great rule. Anything that offers a slight improvement to the inherent variance in mulligans (mainly mana screw) is going to be positive.
I can see people saying it'll be "busted" and such, but the same thing was said about the scry mulligan. This will just become the new normal, and modern will rebalance.
We'd definitely see people, swayed by argument about combo getting a boost, picking up those decks for a short time in an effort to capitalise. But then the decks that beat them would rise up, and in turn decks that beat those would rise up, and we'd reach equilibrium again.
There's still variance. But let's be honest, a system that values play skill and deckbuilding choices higher than the chance of getting screwed on mana is a good system.
