Cube Cobra Blog: A Pauper Cube

Pretty cut and dry this time. The only really weird stuff is Stall for Time and Benalish Sleeper. Treating these as white for the card counts despite the cards being multicolor in identity. I typically want to keep multicolor identity cards in the multicolored section, but I couldn't find cuts that I liked in the multicolored sections.

Snow Lands update

Mainboard Changelist+3, -3

Removing the snow lands that don't gain life (excluding ones that are forests). The types are largely irrelevant and makes the lands a little bit more enticing.

Baldur's Gate Changes

MrKarato posted to A Pauper Cube - 3 years ago

A few strictly better additions, like Arms of Hadar, Winter Eladrin and Breath Weapon. Other additions just focus the cube a bit more. Notably, we tested adding the Gates to the cube. I initially worried this would make it too tempting to draft three colors, but it seems to be a fairly mundane change, no one ended up drafting three colors, so they should be fine.

Already looking to make the Double Masters changes, and it looks like they will be pretty explosive.
