Hat

Rules

Each player has a name written down on a piece of paper, along with an “All” and a “None”. Put the names in the hat, mix them up, and everyone draws one. That name you draw is the only person you can "see" and affect. So if I drew Bob's name, I could only attack him. Once someone affects you (Wrath of God and you have creatures, declares an attack on you, or targets you with a spell) you can see them. If you draw your own name or the “All”, you can see everyone. If you get the “None”, you cannot see anyone. Once you kill someone, you get their name (so if I kill Bob, I now have the name that Bob drew along with the name I drew originally).

Mulligan Rules

Standard “Paris” Mulligan is used for this variant.

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he has no cards left in his hand. After the participant, who plays first, mulligans as often as he likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his mind.
