For crack shuffle play skirmishes, will every player have an exact 30 card deck? The rules on the side of the box do not direct players to remove the rainbow foils. This caused some contention at my latest Crack Shuffle Play event where players wanted to play their 31st or 32nd available card (the rainbow and cold foils).

This is from the TRP, and seems to be updated. I wouldn't think to much of what's on the box, as it's probably trying to simplify to make advertising easier (and the box is not a rules document)
8.4. Crack Shuffle Play
Players receive 3 booster packs each. At the beginning of the first round, they crack, shuffle, and play:
• Crack: Open each booster pack and remove the 2 cards at the back (basic-rarity cards or arena-cards).
• Shuffle: Gather the remaining cards together, shuffle them, and present them as the deck.
• Play: Present the hero, choose who will start, present arena-cards, then play the game.
A Player’s card-pool comprises the limited cards they open from their booster packs and any number of basicrarity cards from the set(s) being used for the format. A Player does not have to open the basic-rarity cards to use
them. Extra cards are not part of a player’s card-pool. Players must play as a young hero from the set(s) being
used for the format.

Players do not add the special slot content to their deck pool. This is similar with the way the special slot content works in other limited formats

This video published by lss seems to explain it a little differently, doesn't it...
First off this video is marketing, not a rules document
Second, sounds like the only difference is that they're taking the last 3 cards out. This is because the third card from the back is always equipment in MPG. In the last csp set (bright lights) equipment would have been mixed with the other cards so you'd have to look through the pack contents to get it out
