Feature Request: Support Supreme Draft
Detailed Description
Supreme drafts are similar to the existing Decadent drafts in that each pack is discarded after a set amount of picks. However, Decadent drafts currently only allow for at least 36 packs to be used (more than the "official" 18) and it cannot be used to draft cubes (such as vintage cubes).

Note that this allows for duplicates in cubes.
That could be doable as part of #1305. I mean that Supreme draft could be seen as a couple (pick 2 cards, discard the rest).
I could be working on that. Since #1305 we have a good base to implement the supreme draft.
@tooomm where do you think it should go? As another type just after decadent ?
Just for the record: Supreme Draft and Decadent Draft are super similar if I understood it correctly after reading about the mode again. Selecting Decadent on the dr4ft page currently, and choosing 2 picks per pack gives you basically that experience already (although the minimum pack count selectable is 36) because one can not add bots anyway - so it will be a one person draft. Not sure if that's intentional as it works in the other modes though...
First step should be to lower the min. required booster count to 18 --> done in #1515.
In a later stage (looking at you, https://github.com/dr4fters/dr4ft/issues/1029), support for Cube lists would be given. Also linking https://github.com/dr4fters/dr4ft/issues/1196.
But in Supreme Draft each pack is a random selection from the entire cube list. So the drafter almost always ends up with multiple copies of certain cards in Supreme Drafts (lots of duplicates). Theoretically, it would be possible for the same card to appear in each of the 18 packs.

@LotusWalker I've no idea how this mode is actually solved in MTGO in case you are referring to the implementation there.
I can only tell you that the issue creator did not say it's a cube only format, nor does the provided resource. I even read the official wizards article linked there... Interestingly they speak about 3 different play variants - which cube is not one of at all. :)
But as I stated above, my PR is only a quick enhancement to get things started and support at least a variant. Cube support will probably come later with the already mentioned ticket. Hence my PR is not solving this issue ticket, only referencing it. I clarified my wording in that sentence.
