Here's an interesting essay on the Opening Hand dilemma. I think about a riff on this whenever I'm building a deck: what cards do I need to see in order to accomplish my goal?
To take a recent example: I need Caldera Hellion and a creature to help me clear the board if I want to maintain any advantage in the Rats deck. To help accomplish this, I need a Rat Colony in hand, so hands with a Rat Colony would be better.
If Caldera Hellion was reliably castable and did what I'd hoped.
The point I'm going for here is: this essay might be helpful for evaluating those opening hands and making better mulliganing decisions. Check it out.
