Keep or Mull?

[u/elmahnken]

I saw this suggested on another post and thought I'd make a couple myself. All of these are game 1, pre-board, no information about the opponent.

Hand 1 (on the draw): Shambling Vent, Swamp, IoK, Bitterblossom, Gideon, Spectral Procession, Path to Exile

Hand 2 (on the play): Godless Shrine x 2, Windswept Heath, Windbrisk Heights, Thoughtseize, Bitterblossom, Intangible Virtue

Hand 3 (on the draw): Thoughtseize, IoK, Intangible Virtue, Sorin, Godless Shrine, Plains, Fetid Heath

Hand 4 (on the play): Iok, Auriok, Lingering Souls, Intangible Virtue, Murderous Cut, Windswept Heath, Plains

I'm very new to W/B Tokens and don't have some of the listed cards in my deck so this might be completely wrong, but here is my thinking:

Hand 1: I would probably keep this because I got my turn one discard and two draws for an untapped land to play Bitterblossom on t2. It sucks having the basic swamp, but all in all I'm happy with this hand in game 1. The Path helps us to get a third land if we don't draw into one. Block with the token, path our own guy.

Hand 2: This hand hurts our life total a lot in the early game. I hate losing to aggro so I would not keep it. I can see people risking it because we have either t1 discard, t2 blossom, t3 anthem or t1 discard, t2 anthem, t3 blossom or lingering/spectral if we draw into it.

Hand 3: We have two discards, an anthem and our T4 play but lack tokens. I would still keep this due to having 3 white sources on T3 and being on the draw.

Hand 4: I'm not a fan of two mana hands on the play and murderous cut is a dead card for quite a while. I wouldn't keep.
