What a keepable hand looks like

In Commander, the London mulligan gives you a free first reset and rewards disciplined keeps. For Rocco, Street Chef, a strong opener usually does three things at once: develops mana, offers an early spell or piece of interaction, and points toward your actual game plan. Rocco, Street Chef decks are commonly built around recurring community staples and synergy cards seen across approved public decklists. If your seven has lands but no way to advance that plan, treat it as shakier than it first looks.

When to keep a borderline seven

If your list is built around value, a borderline hand should still contain at least one card that matters for that package. Keep more aggressively when the hand has cheap setup plus enough mana to function. Ship more aggressively when it is all payoff, all air, or a pile of unrelated medium cards. Common misses include generic goodstuff that ignores the commander's engine, payoff-heavy hands without enough setup, and low interaction counts in slower pods.

Play vs draw

On the draw, the extra card gives Rocco, Street Chef more room to keep a slower hand, especially one with two mana sources and a real early spell. On the play, be tougher on reactive hands that do nothing proactive until turn three. If your build is faster or more controlling than average, compare both modes in the simulator so your mulligan habits match the exact list you are piloting.
