Did you see the Risk idea I just posted above you?
I like the approach, but I believe taking the aspect of card luck completely out of the game will only put the highlight on other forms of luck, such as turn order luck, auto set up etc.

No I didn't see it

Doesn’t this just favor… turn order? Cant set on 3 in 6th seat of a prog world dom game and everyone is guaranteed a set on 4. GG. Why play
