I brought it up because W&6 got banned from Legacy thanks to its interaction with Wasteland and ability to ping away utility creatures. Who knows, maybe power creep has caught up with the interaction in the last 7 years, but I kinda doubt it.

It's been a little while, but I've had another Balduvian Trading Post-esque idea that I would like to share.
There are a number of card templates that more-or-less scale linearly with cost. For example:
Why not lean into that and have a cube where you spend one cube slot on any number of these cards, and have the drafter pick which one they want to use? In other words, the draft includes X spells where the value of X is decided while drafting instead of mid-game.
The real question, of course, is whether or not there are enough of these templates to work with...

My guess is most players are not prepared for or especially interested in deliberating on where they want the exact cost:effect of some basic game effect to be. This is a bit like adding several extra "how many lands of each color do I want?" phases to the draft. It probably doesn't help that most of these cards will be quite basic, aimed at players with advanced game understanding.
