Pauper Jumpstart Cube is a unique format created with a singular goal: to utilize the Jumpstart format as a teaching tool to compartmentalize aspects about Magic: The Gathering, thereby making the game more easily digestible by new players.

The Pauper Jumpstart Cube uses the popular Pauper Cube (https://thepaupercube.com/) originally created by Adam Styborski to create a modal format designed to ease new players into the plethora of terms and concepts of Magic: The Gathering while adding a twist to the traditional Jumpstart format.

Within Pauper Jumpstart Cube, players will select three packs in order to make a single 40-card deck instead of two. One “Guild-Pack” containing seven multi-colored spells and lands, and two “Mono-Packs” containing 20 spells and lands of a single color.

In total, Pauper Jumpstart Cube contains 20 total mono-packs (four packs for each color) along with 10 guild-packs (one for each respective guild) which means a ton of combinations.

This is a tool meant for experienced players who have the desire or opportunity to teach friends or family the game of Magic: The Gathering. As this cube is card-for-card the Pauper Cube, those who already own the cube are 90% of the way to completing it. Not only does the Pauper Jumpstart Cube help players understand what works well synergistically in practice it also informs the player as to what concepts and mechanics do not work well together, again, by in-game experience. This is purposeful, as the goal with this tool is to eventually take off the Jumpstart “training-wheels” and play with the same cards they’re now familiar with in a cube (draft or sealed) format.

This cube is maintained alongside each update to the Pauper Cube, so that the card lists for each will always be near-identical (save for Thriving Lands / Bounce lands).
