I think in HC it would be a lot better if every player had unlimited mulligans during each phase.
It would introduce a new level of strategy into the game.
With unlimited mulligan each player can choose what lineup they bring against their opponent based on what they think the opponent might play against them.
Not to mention that besides the increased tactical aspect of the game you reduce the RNG factor a whole lot.
Right now if you draw 3 bad cards and your leader can only mulligan 1 you are screwed.
There are no draw backs to unlimited mulligans.
If you want to make it even more significant reintroduce blacklisting. A mulliganed card cannot be redraws during the phase in which it was mulliganed. This way each mulligan matters again because you have to be very careful what you throw away and what you keep because once mulliganed it can't be redrawn in that round and you will have to play without it.
It will lead to decisions such as do you discard 2 golds in order to get two engine bronzes that work really well in round 1, do you keep your high tempo cards because you know you go second and want to win on even or do you keep weaker cards because you want to bleed your opponent in r1 and push for big tempo in r2 and r3.
As it is right now some archtypes aren't even viable because they 100% coinflips. You either get your cards and stomp or you miss the draw and lose.
