Please bring mulligan blacklisting back. This means that when you mulligan a card in a mulligan phase, you cannot draw it or its copies again in that specific mulligan phase. This was shortly mentioned in the roadmap overview live stream of 12 December. It was mentioned that "blacklisting was more useful when you had 3 bronzes. With 2 bronzes, it might not be necessary to bring it back, but we'll see. If it actually turns into an issue or we feel like ... it is really needed or the community really wants it ... we'll definitely revisit".
Blacklisting may have been more useful with 3 bronzes, but it is also very useful with 2 bronzes to mulligan away low strength "filler cards" and/or to find that specific card. The absence of blacklisting introduces more RNG in mulligans. What was the motivation behind removing blacklisting?
Unless I am mistaken, it seems that with no blacklisting, the card that has just been mulliganed away can be drawn again in the next mulligan of the same round. I had this happen twice during 4 mulligans in round 3, with 6 cards still left in deck. End result: same hand after 4 mulligans. And there was only one copy of this card. This is not fun. It shouldn't be possible that the net result of 4 mulligans is nothing, should it?
So, I'm wondering how much support there is in the community to bring blacklisting back. What do you think?
Edit: Added a short explanation about mulligan blacklisting.
