I have a silly question, but one to which I have been unable to find an answer: what is the best way to sleeve a Cube? Would I sleeve all the cards in the same colour? Would I separate by rarity / pack? Would the lands have their own sleeve colour? I understand not having additional info gained from the sleeve is a tournament-level game-rule violation, and how some people can metagame this better than others, but how would I balance this with organization? Once the draft is done, how do I thereafter collate the packs properly? I'm only ~5min into the video, so I apologize if this gets answered later, but this question has been burning my brain for a long time.

you must sleeve the whole cube in the same exact color and sleeve model. to note: you do not "seed" packs to mimic the contents of a normal booster pack. you just shuffle the cube and deal 15-card packs at random. sometimes this means that a pack will have 8 red cards and 14 uncommons. it doesn't matter. the draft will fix itself and, in any case, the power of any given card is not measured by its rarity. anthony mattox from lucky paper wrote an awesome guide / thinkpiece on how to shuffle your cube, found here: https://luckypaper.co/articles/how-to-quickly-shuffle-your-mtg-cube/

I played this cube just today after watching this video and building my own and it is awesome! I managed to build a deck that would regularly sacrifice and get back a pile of thopters to kill people with Meathook Massacre triggers. Truly amazing.
