About The Cube

Pauper 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.

Rules for Drafting
  • Packs are twenty cards including two uncommon commanders which are seeded into each pack.
  • Any mono-coloured uncommon creature is treated as if it has partner and can be paired with any other mono-coloured commander.
  • Uncommon creatures may only be played in the command zone not in the 99.
  • The Prismatic Piper is available if you do not draft a commander, or as a second commander with partner.
  • Deck size is sixty, including your commander/s.

Tarkir has been awesome for PDH! I've added quite a few cards for the cube, many feeling basically like strict upgrades at this point.
