Meant to be drafted in packs of 10C+4U+1L (and 33% 9C+4U+2L) with all players starting with a Cogwork Librarian for the draft. In-game, turn on hand smoothing (more likely to have an average number of lands in the opening hand), 25 starting life (slow it down just a little bit more), and include a Minamo Scrollkeeper emblem (+1 hand size, to prevent needing to discard if you have a bounceland on the draw).

5C: Bestow, Cartouche+Trials, Adventure
UBR: Artifacts
WBG: Food
WUG: Token Creatures
BRG: Eldrazi spawn/scions
URW: Noncreature Spells
WU: Embalm/Eternalize
WB: Artifacts+Enchantments
WR: Equipment
WG: Populate
UB: Artifact Tokens
UR: Improvise
UG: Investigate
BR: Treasure/Artifact Sacrifice
BG: Lifegain synergy
RG: Big Stuff
Colorless: Assembly-Workers

Given the current counts of 128 C, 111U, 25L, each card is seen on average (in an 8-player draft):
C: 1.81
L: 1.28
U: 0.86
When playing without replacement, 4x commons, 3x lands, 2x uncommons

It is expected for many players to be 3-color thanks to the powerful mana fixing, but someone playing 5-color should be unusual. Removal is generally more powerful against small creatures, often either weak against large ones or is answerable.
