I love the drafting variant, and the energy addition sounds interesting - can't wait until I can get people together for another game!
I think I would modify your energy modification slightly, with the regular gaining of stars for arriving and staying in Tokyo, and the earning of an energy cube for staying while others smack away at you.
I also wonder if a 5-card draft is too many. If each person was dealt 4 cards and was allowed to keep 3 after the draft (discarding the final card a la 7 Wonders), I wonder if it would keep the deck draw more relevant.
Either way, thanks a bunch for your great ideas!

Yeah, I think 5 is a lot. I'd think maybe 4 total (5 cards and 1 discard) or even just the 3 + 3 available to everyone. Or maybe you can buy cards that opponents have but you pay them the energy or pay 2 energy to "wipe" their cards -- could result in some interesting dynamics, although it would add more politics to the game that tends to avoid them.
Wonder if there will be official variants in the expansion. Really hope there are!
