Mulligan

What the 50 implies

Keep a Raid Heisuke Mashimo, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one Heisuke Mashimo (006) if the cheap card missed. Ship a hand of only 7+ cost finishers. That is inferred from costs in the hosted list, not a coach sheet from a hidden room.

Tech and flex

First cards to argue about

An Ordinary Everyday Life (UE19BT/SMD-1-039) is the 3-of most lists will argue about.
