After all, this is a similar scenario to when people noticed the 'first 10 packs legendary' for all pack types. It seems pointless, but it turned out to be true.
No it isn't. There a multitude of people noticed the exact same pattern and it was something you could easily replicate to prove the hypothesis. Not to mention there was some sort of logic behind why it might be this way, not just confirmation bias and conspiratorial thinking.
Everything is a set up. People who buy most packs are favoured by Blizzard and they get best mulligans possible. Be careful who you trust, they are already on my tail you didn't hear this from me. Shhh!
lol then am i a god that hitting legend as a f2p and with blizzard against me?
This is obviously a Blizzard's paid promotion. They want to lure you in. First one is free, than you buy one pack, than two packs, before you know it you've gambled your entire house and you are stealing internet from a local coffe shop while you are lying in dumpster writing posts on Hearthpwn... Nice try BlizzardBot A-Me 01. Nice try...
Actually the 7th card can be since its the turn one draw and not technically part of the mulligan. One sample of 6 and one of 1.
So we're both wrong.
I know people say you can't redraw what you throw back ... but I've redrawn things that only have one copy in the deck. So that's just the reality. It's happened to me.
If you ever see it, do a screen shot and send it to blizzard. They have officially declared that the mulligan works in the way TheScot is describing which means anything other than that is a bug.
In fact, the way it is described is that you pull your cards, you put DOWN the cardss you mulligan then pull more from your deck, then you shuffle the downed cards back into your deck before turn 1. If you can, in fact, show to blizzard that you are pulling back your mulliganed cards before turn 1 then you have discovered a bug and need to report it to blizzard so that they can fix it. We HAVE seen bugs before that messes with expectation, but do know that you are dealing with a possible bug, not a mistake in how mechanics work.
As of yet, we have not seen a single person who has been able to demonstrate it happening. A few people who 'swear' it happened 'in a past match sometime with some card they don't quite remember.' but nothing more than that.
So yeah, you can't, or shouldn't be able to, pull from your mulligan. Which means that you have a little over 40% of a chance of having one of the first mates by turn 1.
Also note that via some math done earlier, we found out that a Rogue has a 10% chance of having Kal + a shadowstep by turn 2 and 30% of just Kal. So yeah, 1/3 of your matches against them is hard and 1 out of 10 is Da Nutz.
Decks that are tier 1 are so because their high power moves are pretty ddarn consistent.
How does Blizzard benefit from going out of their way to write code for sabotaging customer experience?
Gets people onto Hearthstone forums with their tinfoil hats on and talking about the games. Then us pack buyers (with our constantly amazing mulligans, of course) can come on and tell them the solution...
Ahhhh and the whiff of burning tinfoil and bugs itching under the skin is reward enough from a non-salty genuinely intrigued question.
I understand gamblers faith or whatever you have, that poker players/gamblers/druidstone players only remember that the guy pulled a sic 5th street to make that flush when i was 99.1% to win. I get that any kind of average happens over a lifetime of content and not just a couple of bad draws. (Better players must always win over the long haul).
Hidden ninja makes a fine argument, and someone on the other page was saying that I need to learn the optimum mulligans for any given deck. I mean is even that a thing. My query was really can what you chuck in get chucked back? Or chances of god draw vs useless turn five cards I suppose. As it is a thing of pure chance or about 1 in 4 maybe not quite a 1 in 3, what difference can knowing what I need be any advantage over what I draw? I suppose there is the (ha nearly said possibility) actual deck to take into account.
Me old mate over tharrrrr Mr Aggro Pirate deck doesn't need to worry about what to keep and whatnot, most of the cards you draw can be played early on, where Barnes and Mr Priest never really get a lot of stuff the first couple of turns so i suppose it doesn't matter so much what you mulligan out for. Cleric anyone?
I still believe that I draw more often than not at least one of the cards I dump back in. I say sack the shuffler!

Hearthstone Conspiracy threads are hilarious.
Please don't tell my girlfriend about my card collection...
One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
