I find this conversation confusing. When I build decks I build with redundancy. I do that due to the singleton nature and to increase my chances of getting the same effects. Prophet of Kruphix was simply the love child of Seedborn Muse + Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir . Both of which are cards that should have been and still should be Staples in every deck. They should be staples in most decks that run either color as well. Other cards have even been mentioned by others that can still provide the same effects in Mono-Green which should have been staples as well.

Seedborn Muse is an absolute beast. If you weren't running it alongside Prophet of Kruphix, why weren't you?

I have to disagree that Prophet warped the format or that one card specifically drove people to play . There are other examples of cards that provide the same effects as two others. We have to disregard the fact that each deck running Prophet should have been running Seedborn as well. Seedborn allows the untapping of all of your Artifacts which can be huge. All of your Artifact mana from Sol Ring to Gilded Lotus and free Counterspells from Isochron Scepter. It isn't as though Seedborn drives people to include in their deck although it should be included in EVERY deck.

I also find the new mulligan rules to be a bad change. It will be harder to get what you need or even a decent starting hand. It will cause big delays in games or allow people that actually get a good hand to create a much better board state. I am not looking forward to these changes in tournament play. As I've mentioned countless times before, the rules impact tournament/competitive play the most because they can't be changed. There are no Houserule changes that are possible. Obviously any casual or social games will probably still do partial but this change is bad for competitive. Especially on a table that could have 12+ players.
