I like the format, very cool idea. However, this rule:
First player draw The first player does draw a card.
Not sure if its a good idea? Gives first player a HUGE advantage.

That's actually vanilla mtg rule: multiplayer games have a free mulligan and first player draws. The advantage is smaller with more players and multiplayer formats tend to be self-levelling since people will target the player who's ahead. (There's a theory that a turn one sol ring in commander tends to reduce your odds of winning due to this effect).
In a one on one (or two on two) game, yes, it would be a big advantage. Not in a multiplayer game, though.
yeah in multiplayer it’s quite different. also note that here, the player doing worst goes first in games 2 and 3, that advantage is an autobalancing mechanic that deliberately gives that first turn plus draw.
