This might be asking a bit much, and since a lot of users probably prefer things like cubetutor I don't know how much difference this would make for the overall QoL, but I'm going to ask anyway.
One of the main things I use the site for these days is maintaining my cube list. I like to run a random draft here and there, and I'm comfortable with the aggregated scores determining bot picks. I'm wondering if there could be a way to break the packs up by category.
My newest project is a commander cube. I've identified the legends who are supposed to be drafted around, and I've planned out a list of rocks and lands to be drafted for utility purposes and I'd like the archetype cards to be drafted separately. My goals then would be to have three piles of packs. I was thinking maybe there's a way to do it by custom category, maybe a drop down menu you choose either in the editor or before you draft?
1.) Commanders
2.) Mana Rocks and Nonbasics
3.) Archetypal maindeck cards
Does this make sense? Too cumbersome and/or time consuming to draft?
What are your thoughts? I want to be able to simulate what I'm working on to confirm balance without sleeving everything up and manually doing it.

One round would be commanders. One round would be mana rocks/fixing and a few rounds to draft your main deck.

You already set the number of packs and cards/pack, so setting which tags were available in a given pack didn't seem like a stretch, I'm not a programmer though.
I would make so much use of this.

This could be helpful for specific draft format cubes. In myself have a FRF draft cube but cannot properly test it here due to it all being mixed up instead of KTK/KTK/FRF. I also have it set up so you can draft around the specific clans.

So my tags are Legend for the commanders, Rocks and each of the archetypes are individualized. It's not done yet, but almost everything that is there is tagged. Some generic stuff didn't get tags but if they'll need them I can figure something out.

what happens to this pile of packs? do players choose which pack, or do they get a certain type of pack within a round?
