Here are the rules suited blackjack pays 2 to 1 other blackjacks pay even money! 3 7's pay 3 to 1!!! You are allowed to split any pair and draw to any pair including aces! Double down on any two cards even after a split including aces!!! Dealer hits soft 17 and all hard hands under 16!
What is the house edge and would you play?

No. The house edge gained by paying even money on 'Blackjacks', even with 2/1 suited 'Blackjacks', is 1.7%.
The 3/1 for 3 7's along with allowing players to draw to split Aces is only worth around 0.25% to the player.
So, the player would be 1.45% worse off compared to regular rules.
If you wanted to eliminate the extra 1.45% then you could add the rule "All 5-card hands are automatic winners". This would then give you a game with a similar house edge to the regular game.
