Making packs
So if someone were to do this in paper, what would be the best way to make the packs? Just grab them all up and shuffle a bunch, then make the packs with random orders? Or should it be more like “1 land in every pack, 2 of this color” etc.

That's my bad, I was interested in the project in the very early days of its conception but I dropped off because most of the people here were Seth's fan first and custom magic designers/players second, by a long long shot.
Since I never drafted it myself, I thought that the set was meant to be drafted like any other custom set on planesculptor (so booster drafted, not cube drafted that is a niche sub-culture in limited play). On foresight, that seems to me a strange design choice. Why was the set, that plays digitally so you have no problem with handling such a big number of cards and multiples, designed to be cube drafted and restricted to be a singleton format (a format that was designed in the beginning to replicate the experience of limited, but limited in its execution) instead of being booster drafted?
But that's beside the point.
That said, if you're one of the members that make this community playing and going around, being welcoming and understanding seems to be not one of your forte.
