Built as a stronger counterpart to my Traveling - Pauper Grixis OnTheGo, this cube aims to provide interesting gameplay through more powerful cards in Pauper, including 13 of the 33 cards on the current (as of 2024-02-04) Pauper banlist.
Careful considerations were given to cards that each color gains advantage through - blue with card draw, black with big creatures, and red with burn. Each guild (Dimir, Izzet, and Rakdos) gains powerful cards from their respective color pairings + multicolor cards to build into reasonable control, ping/counter-burn, and removal + recursion, respectively. Lastly, there's enough fixing to provide a Grixis control deck that leverages efficient removal and recursive threats that a player can feel comfortable building and piloting it.
As always, feel free to leave feedback and I hope you enjoy this endeavor into building more 105s.
A Pauper cube-ish used for carrying 2 sets of 75 single-sleeved cards for 2 player On-The-Go drafting.
Breakdown is as follows:
27 of Blue, Black, and Red
3 colorless
2 multicolor (3 of each guild in Grixis)
15 lands for fixing
= 105
15 of each basic for Islands, Swamps, and Mountains
= 45
Total = 150
Drafting follows Ryan Overturf's Minneapolis Drafting:

Due to the size of this being smaller than (8*7*2=) 112 cards, 7 packs of 7 cards each per player with 7 leftover cards is the current iteration.
Minneapolis Draft is a two-player draft format where both players make eight 7 packs of seven cards.
