Might & Magic Fates Mulligan Guide: What to Keep and Why

Introduction

Your mulligan is the most important decision in Might & Magic: Fates.

Most players ignore it. That's why they lose games before turn 3.

Core Explanation

Mulligan is about playability

You are not looking for your strongest cards. You are looking for cards you can actually play early.

Early curve matters most

A good hand lets you:

• play turn 1
• play turn 2
• play turn 3

If you skip turns, you fall behind.

Practical Application

Always prioritize:

• low-cost units
• early curve cards
• flexible options

Before keeping your hand, ask: "What do I play in the first 3 turns?"

If you don't know, redraw.

Common Mistakes

• Keeping expensive cards. They slow you down.
• Keeping situational cards. They don't help early.
• Being greedy. You aim for perfection instead of playable.

Optimization Layer

Better players adapt mulligan based on:

• opponent faction
• deck type
• matchup speed

They don't follow fixed rules. They adjust every game.
