My take on a pauper cube, heavily inspired by "The Pauper Cube", but with plenty of differences.

This cube only includes cards which have a physical printing with a newer frame style at common, because I want everyone who drafts the cube (veterans and new players alike) to clearly see that every card is a common. The newer frame style usually means that the rules text is written on the card in a way that is likely to be easier to understand for new players, as well as providing a more consistent aesthetic.

These restrictions do remove plenty of older classics (pestilence, capsize, etc...) or things that were only commons on mtgo (with battle screech and beetleback chief being the two I would really love to see get a common printing), but I feel like the trade-off is worth it.
