Pauper Twobert
Cube ID
Art by Tommy Arnold
This is my second real life cube!
Here are some of the design goals I had when making this cube:
- The cube will be singleton.
- Draft formats:
- 2-players: Pancake Draft, 9 packs of 10
- 4-players: Regular Draft, 5 packs of 9
- The players will get to experience a classic pauper cube style of gameplay. This meaning the cube is combat heavy, there is plenty of targeted removal, card advantage is very important as 2 for 1s are less common, Hexproof and Flying are more powerful than usual, and attrition-based cards are often the best finishers.
- This is the only cube I keep a hard even limit on each color and color pair for the number of cards I run.
- 35 cards for each WUBRG color
- 2 multicolor cards for each color pair
- 10 colorless cards
- 3 lands for each color pair
- Cards will be included to push powerful and synergistic gameplay.
- The cube will be limited to 35 non-basic lands. 3 dual lands for each color pair and 5 more for 5-color and utility lands.
- Aestheticly I like all the cards to be one of their Common printings, thus cards like Battle Screech that have no physical printing at Common are not considered for this cube.
- Every other vintage legal card with a common printing is on the table as a possible include.
- If a card is not included the reasons could be any of the following:
- I don't think it's good enough for this environment.
- It's just as good as anything else and I've limited myself to 240 cards!
- It's too powerful for the cube.
