Intro TLDR:

Based on a reddit idea to pauperize the Data Generated Vintage Cube. I have used the No-Banlist Pauper Version as a basis for this cube.

Two limitations: I only include cards I actually factually have and that are available in foil.

I want the cube to be feel as if we're playing "fair" Magic, although I do ignore the banlist. So far, matches usually are decided by combat damage, just as intended. I had to nerf wu Blink a bit since it included an infinite combo or two and is generally very powerful in Pauper, leading to some none-games.

Themes and Archetypes

Following are the approximate archetypes and the colors they're supposed to be supported in.
Some of these may be "half an archetype" and not support a full-fledged dedicated deck.
I tried to support most themes in more than two, possibly all five colors.

wu Flicker / (self-)Bounce

ur Draw / Spells

bw Reanimate (plus some cycling payoffs in other colors)

gw +1/+1-Counters (with support in all colors)

rw Go-Wide Tokens with anthem effects

gw Enchantments (with support in all colors)

r Sligh / Burn

Sacrifice rb

g Ramp

bw Lifelink/Extort

gr Stompy

urw "Prowess" and its variants as a subtheme of ur Draw / Spells

123 Artifacts

I am still pondering to cut the Signets.... but put in borderposts instead?
