I am against any rule that puts an artificial cap on the possible life totals.

But that's not what we were discussing, as you would see in the earlier posts. We were referring to cards that reference a specific life-total such as Serra Ascendant or Feldir Sovereign.

Sorry to butt in here but i think this is important

The Official Mulligan Rule changed

The old way was the Paris Mulligan basicly if you don;t like your hand you can shuffle it back in and draw one less

The new official Mulligan is the Vancover Mulligan Basically its the same as before with one minor difference, if keep a hand of less than 7 cards Scry 1 before the game starts (NOTE: You do not get the Scry when choosing whether or not you wish to keep the hand only after you have kept it)

However both of these are irrelivent here.

Commander Uses the Partial-Paris Mulligan

Partial-Paris is a better version of the Paris Mulligan

When taking the mulligan you Exile any number of cards from your hand face down and then draw that many -1, after mulligans then you shuffle your exile pile into your deck.

So the mulligan that should have been taken is the partial paris not the paris mulligan that was taken.

Additionally although not an official rule most commander groups allow a free mulligan. so after the first Partial-Paris you draw the exact number that you exile then you draw the number you exile -1. this allows everyone to try and sculpt their hand into one that is playable. But this is a house rule only

Sorry for interrupting the game but i thought i should help clarify the rules.
