In Magic: The Gathering, a player may declare mulligan after drawing his initial hand at the beginning of the game. If such a declaration is made, the player puts his cards back into his deck, shuffles, and draws a new hand of the same number of cards minus one. A common reason for declaring a mulligan would be getting a hand with no mana sources. The player may repeat this until they are satisfied, or the number of cards in their hand reaches zero.
This is also used in most other collectible card games as well.

It’s the same as a ‘do-over’. In some games (like golf) if the players agree beforehand, a player can simply take a bad stroke over again. In board games (Like Merchant of Venus) such an agreement (or, a game artifact, like the Muligan Gear Relic) will allow the player to re-roll one of his dice rolls. It’s not something that is always used, and certainly not at tournament or professional level play.

The origin of the term is a practice in golf. To "mulligan" a shot is to take a second shot...a "do over".
Term supposedly originated back in the 1920's.
