Level One: Mulligans Part III — Constructed
Mulligans in Constructed beyond the beginner heuristic: archetype exceptions, functional hands vs pretty hands, and linear-deck traps.
Curator's Note
The 2–5 land rule breaks as soon as your deck is linear. This is the chapter you re-read before an RCQ with a deck that loses if it misses a key piece — the live replacement for lost CFB mulligan theory.
