>Opening hands can catapult you forward or stifle your start
You can get lucky with opening cards aligning with the conservation projects, but I've found 8 cards is usually enough to form a decent starting hand most of the time and you can have strong starts without having to do a round 1/2 project.

I've never felt the need to do this in an over the table setting, but I have wondered how a draft or london mulligan would work out for your opening hand.
