CCg Cubes as Board games

Hey folks.

Have you ever tried putting together a cube as a standalone CCG experience? MTG has a great Cube community and guides for designing your very own draft environment. Of course there are drafting games that scratch a sinmilar itch, but I'm interested in turning a collection-based game into a standalone experience

My question is, do other games support this kind of playing? Are there guides or communities that aid in building cubes? I'd love to cube Pokemon with proxies and take it to youth houses, or maybe give other CCGs a spin in a similar fashion.

Have you tried it? Any successes or failures you'd care to share?
