Okay, trying this with 16 packs. Will continue to trim pack count if needed. Some changes:
I made a spreadsheet that assigned a color identity to each card, then automatically remove from the draft pool the cards that have the color in question. In this case, that cut our pool from 360 cards to 276, which means 84 cards were cut.
I assigned the three Wastelands to colors W, B and R, so most grid drafts there will be a maximum of 2 Wastelands floating around.
In my code, I wrote it so that the shocklands are always in there. Fetches and dual lands are still random. Maybe I will seed one fetch from each color pair in there later. (Note that, unlike last time, there will be no off-color fetches. No Scalding Tarn in this draft).
Here is the (R) code, if anyone cares:

I made a spreadsheet that assigned a color identity to each card, then automatically remove from the draft pool the cards that have the color in question. In this case, that cut our pool from 360 cards to 276, which means 84 cards were cut.
I assigned the three Wastelands to colors W, B and R, so most grid drafts there will be a maximum of 2 Wastelands floating around.
In my code, I wrote it so that the shocklands are always in there. Fetches and dual lands are still random. Maybe I will seed one fetch from each color pair in there later. (Note that, unlike last time, there will be no off-color fetches. No Scalding Tarn in this draft).
Here is the (R) code, if anyone cares:
Code:
library(xlsx)
nPacks <- 16
fileName <- list.files(".", pattern = ".xlsx")
cubeDf <- read.xlsx(fileName, sheetIndex = 1)
colorIds <- as.vector(cubeDf[, 2])
cube <- as.vector(cubeDf[, 1])
# select colors
colorToOmit <- "R" # sample(c("W", "U", "R", "B", "G"), 1)
colorList <- strsplit(colorIds, split = NULL)
rowsToKeep <- rep(1, length(cube))
for(i in 1:length(cube))
if(colorToOmit %in% colorList[[i]])
rowsToKeep[i] <- 0
cube <- cube[which(rowsToKeep == 1)]
# seed in shocklands
shocklands <- c("Blood Crypt", "Godless Shrine", "Overgrown Tomb",
"Sacred Foundry", "Stomping Ground", "Temple Garden", "Breeding Pool",
"Hallowed Fountain", "Watery Grave", "Steam Vents")
shockIds <- which(cube %in% shocklands)
gridPile <- cube[shockIds]
cube <- cube[-shockIds]
gridPile <- c(gridPile, sample(cube, size=9*nPacks - length(shockIds)))
gridPile <- sample(gridPile)
pack <- gridPile[1:9]
printPack <- function(pack, i) {
