About The CubePauper Commander (or PDH) is a commander adjacent format which has been rising in popularity. Any uncommon creature (including non-legendary creatures) can be your commander, while the 99 is comprised entirely of common cards. The format has a lower life total than regular commander (30) and commander damage has also been adjusted to suit (16). The format promotes play patterns in which players are required to slowly accrue value and protect valuable engines in order to win games. This cube has been created in order to preserve those play patterns and translate them into a Commander Masters style limited environment.

I've added Thunderhead Gunner to the cube! This card feels so good in the grindy draft games I've had in Aetherdrift, which sounds like the perfect card for this draft environment.
