I like what they are testing out for this new mulligan rule but I would prefer they modify the system and also add the old rule to it. So this is how it should look:
First Mulligan: Draw 7 cards, choose 6 and put one onto the bottom of your library. Scry 1
Second Mulligan: Draw 6, choose 5 and put one onto the bottom of your library. Scry 1
Third Mulligan: Draw 5, choose 4 and put one onto the bottom of your library. Scry 1
So on and so forth afterwards. This I think reduces the chance of combo decks mulligan to the point of getting their combo and also prevents mulligan in second and third games to get your sideboard card (ex. Leylines).
Just wanted to share this video about how the topper packs are searchable. Uploaded by a guy who was able to figure out how to do it. Caution for those buying overpriced topper packs on Ebay and the like.
Cards for Blue as I really think denial needs help in Modern:
DenyUU
Instant
Exile target spell with converted mana cost 4 or less from the game. Exile Deny from the game. " Deny... deny everything..! "
Defy The OddsU
Instant
Counter target creature, sorcery or artifact spell with converted mana cost 2 or less. If the spell cannot be countered, then exile it instead.
Use only mana from a basic Island to cast this spell. " One, two, three... why can't it be me? "
Tides RebuttalU
Instant
You may return a basic Island to your hand rather than pay Tides Rebuttal's mana cost.
Choose one:
Counter target sorcery or instant spell with converted mana cost 1 or less.
Return target creature an opponent controls with converted mana cost 2 or less to its owner's hand.
If you returned a basic Island to cast this spell, draw a card. " The tides come and the tides go. "
Prison Isle
Land
As Prison Isle comes into play target nonbasic land an opponent controls loses all abilities and its controller chooses one mana type. Target land may only produce mana of that type.
: Add C " Wherever they construct the prison, the country always ends up paying for it. "
I have been saying it too, we require something along the lines of Wasteland in the format. Too many decks just assembling their pieces without having to fear any sort of mana disruption. I believe its one of the reasons there is almost no interaction in the game anymore as everyone is just too busy getting their game plan sorted without paying any attention to the other player.

We need Wasteland or something similar. Period.
