General Cube Idea: New Sealed Pool After Each Loss

I'm here to share a cube idea we had in our playgroup. We haven't tested it yet but we will the next time we play. I wish to hear your thoughts on the idea if you'd be so kind to comment. Any comments are welcome!

Format:
- 3 players
- Sealed 40 cards deck
- King of the Hill (The winner keeps playing until defeated.)

The defeated player loses all their cards and gets a full new sealed pool of cards to brew a new deck with. He/she will play the winner of the game that is taking place while he/she constructs this new deck from the new sealed card pool.

Balance:
- After each game, the defeated player will ban a card from the winner's deck. The banned card will be replaced with a Blasted Landscape. The winner will play against a new foe and will not have time to sideboard or cut the Blasted Landscape.
- After the defeated player gets a new sealed pool of cards, they also Hearthstone discover (See 3, pick 1) X number of times from a pool of POWER cards. A card becomes a POWER card if it has been banned in any previous tournament of this format. (Example: If you're 1-3 in win/lose and you're about to Hearthstone discover from the powerful cards, you will see 3 powerful cards and pick 1 of them. Then do it again. Then do it again.)

I played a very similar format with James and my wife. Nice for three players, giving the third player some deckbuilding to do while the other two battle.
