I've been iterating on a low to no deckbuilding cube - weve drafted twice as a six man pod where we did ,4x15 but burn the last three cards of each pack - you end with 48 cards and make 8 cuts. Very generous for a take 5 style cube and made decks and mana bases quite coherent.

The next idea is to get to the true play everything draft where we do 4 packs of 12 or 13 and draft ten cards per pack - so that your 40 drafted is indeed your deck.

Does anyone have experience using "burn the last x cards in the draft" as the solve to unplayable cards in a no deck buIld cube?

I have 15 crystal grottos, 5 ash barrens and a lot of temple/buddy lands, colorless cycling, some discard/looting, and some treasures as in game ways to mitigate off color cards in your deck.

It seems like it should work but the draft may become so focused on colour fixing that you just can't afford to risk any synergistic pieces that aren't firmly in your colours.
