What do you think are the odds of this not being permanent or semi-permanent? What I mean is, I haven't been paying super close attention, and do you get the vibe that this might be undone in a couple years like the scry mulligan, or does it feel more permanent?
The only improvement at this point would be to go back to the very beginning and get a free new 7 if you had all lands/no lands. I don't see that happening. I think this is going to be the mulligan format for a very long time, if not for the remainder of the game's existence.

Too good? I jest...
I feel like a deck like Manaless Dredge has enough variance built-in, moments where it's absurd and others where it crashes. I don't think it would happen, but getting a free mulligan with zero lands would be about the best next upgrade. I can't help but think that Lands would benefit as well from having all lands a higher portion of the time than other decks (but ironically might not mulligan 7 lands, depending on the mix.)
Honestly, I'm just glad WotC seems to be moving & shaking rather than sitting on its hands. Onwards and upwards.

Good point, likely a deal breaker. I suppose it could be limited to *one* free mulligan if no lands/all lands, which gives these decks in particular an edge, but their overall inconsistency in the face of hate will only elevate them to tier 2 (in my opinion.)
It's just spitballing, I love the new mulligan rule, I don't feel like they didn't go far enough or anything like that. Hell, I loved the Vancouver mulligan; it was such an improvement over the Paris mulligan.
