I know the CCG is dead and I know that the LCG is in. Still, I fell in love with the old game years ago and have a small group of friends who have finally come around to giving this game a try. We're buying the Emperor Edition Gempukku display starter, so the four of us will have nine starter's to cycle through. However, we have expressed interest in trying some draft style shenanigans and allowing some upgrades within something of a 'cube' of cards. My question is, are any of the Emperor edition expansions worth adding to the collection or will I just be getting duplicates? Will the starter display play thoroughly enough on its own? I have a great price on a box of Seeds of Decay as well.
As you see Gempukku was released in the middle of edition and it contains mixed cards from previously released expansions. If you want to add some totally new cards just focus on Torn Asunder, Coils of Madness and Gates of Chaos expansions. But beware that starting with CoM cards use different action template because they were bridge expansions between Emperor and Ivory and in Ivory happened some radically mechanical changes. And of course you can additionaly buy any Emperor legal expansion to grow a card base even if a small part of it (mostly Commons and Uncommons) are part of Gempukku starters.
L5R cubing is really hard. Most notably, because the draft stronghold doesn't really capture what L5R is to a lot of people, (at least, to me), and playing with anything effectively means everyone has a bunch of dead Dynasty cards. I would recommend building 30/30 decks for each clan, and draft the remaining cards from there. The 30/30 should include the clan champion, a good enough economy (like, 14 to 16 holdings with a range of cost/production), and a bunch of basic personalities that fill the role that clan is playing. The fate deck should be complimentary to the cards in the dynasty deck. So if your Dynasty has a bunch of Courtiers, the Fate deck should have cards that require having Courtiers.
Make sure that when you do the draft, you draft more cards than exactly what's required to fill out the decks. That way the players can have a bit of customization to them, swapping out cards they don't want to use. I'd also recommend putting stickers on the cards that are in the core decks, or possibly just a slip of paper with an icon on it. Something to indicate that these are part of the core, and the rest go back in the draft cube. Another possibility, and one that I've thought about myself, is that you could just split the cards into packages. So, you might have a set of 10 packages to draft, and each package has 10 cards.

Then you build from that kind of pool. The benefit is just that then you don't need to worry about having kensai cards but no kensai.
