There's another alternative that wouldn't require a game rule change at all, merely a tournament rule change, which POP has direct control of.
That would be to switch to a best 2/3 swiss format like they use in Europe.
The rounds could be either 45 or even kept to 40 minutes.
If one long game is played, great. It was a true match.
If the first game is a quick donk, then a second game gives the donked player a shot at evening it up and winning the match.

^ Or we could just allow an optional mulligan to 6 cards, like Magic: The Gathering does.

That would work IF we actually had basics that did enough for 2 Energy. Without Energy Gain, I can't see ANY SP that would deal enough on T1 even if they have 2 Energy. Toxicroak needs a Stadium, Luxray needs his LVX and the list goes on.
