I love pauper cubes, since they feel like real magic without doing completely overpowered things, like "normal" cubes often tend to do. The cube happens to contain at least a few card from most sets so it often feels like a summary of most limited environments throughout the history of magic. Commons simply are the basement, that made these limited environments what they were.
My aim is to create the most balanced and enjoyable draft experience for people playing this cube, while keeping the power level as high as possible, so people can still say "What? This was common, once?"
So far I never had to cut or ban a card for being too strong and I had a lot of positive feedback.
