Why? I honestly can't think of any reason that LLMs should be specifically good at mulligans

This is actually really interesting to me, but the way to determine if you should mulligan is if the 7 cards you are looking at is better than the average 6 cards in your deck. Given that games in most higher power formats end in the first 2-3 turns, the number of cards isn’t as important as the quality generally. So it’s really just math to determine what an “average” hand looks like.

Uh, LLMs are notoriously bad at basic arithmetic. I think you might be thinking about another kind of AI.
Plus I don't really believe LLMs can reliably tell which hand is better. If you remove the drawing part and simply present two hands to an LLM and ask it which one is stronger I expect it to do much much much worse than experienced player. There isn't much reason to expect otherwise (but I'm willing to be proven wrong if such benchmarks exist)
