That's called a "Cube" in Magic the Gathering.

We draft Cubes from our old collections all the time, to help recycle our older cards.

A typical Draft's card pool is only ~300ish cards or so, whatever is in the newest set. Its actually small enough to memorize.

You don't draft booster-cards from all of MtG. A Draft is innately around the ~300ish cards of some set. Lost Caverns of Ixalan only consists of 291 cards.
