Our most recent update included eight downshifted cards from the Arena-only Pioneer Masters set, as at the time we considered those commons to be just as eligible as any other printing. We’ve since found out that the community finds them to be a bit too removed from Pauper, so they are being replaced. In Out…

Spring 2025 Update
PLEASE READ FIRST: There is a pending hotfix to this update as the community has asked for the removal of PIO cards. If you want to save time ordering cards, please wait until we have the new changes finalized (Edit made 04/23/25) Welcome one and all to the Spring 2025 Pauper Cube update. As…
BLB/MH3 update
We know it’s been a while but we’re back, with a fairly sizeable update this time around. Modern Horizons 3 took quite some time to chew and digest so we apologize for the delay. Color In Out – Lands White Adds is another one in the list of “wow, is outdated” cards for white. We…
The Spring 2024 Pauper Cube Update
Welcome one and all to the Spring 2024 update. We’ll be going through all sets released since the last update. The committee is still working out what we want the update schedule to look like moving into the future, but we will keep the community updated when we make a decision. Color Adds Cuts…
WOE/CMM/LTR/MOM Update
First things first, the committee would like to apologize for the relative lack of updates to the cube this year. We’re aware and may adjust the schedule moving forward to better accommodate our personal time needs. That said, this update introduces a change to the way that we handle the wording of these updates. In…

NEO/VOW/MID Update
Three whole sets since the last update, and we’re back! After several months of silence and literally doubling the size of the Pauper Cube Committee, your patience is being rewarded. Color In Out White has failed its trial period at this point. Having a defender with a passive battle cry didn’t work out as well…
Modern Horizons 2 and Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Update
Two brand new sets, with all kinds of fun new cards have been released and it’s time to update! As a reminder, before looking through this list, the committee has chosen to not include any cards with either dice rolling or the “Venture into the Dungeon” mechanics, so if there was something you thought would…
Strixhaven Update
Just in time for the beginning of spoilers for Modern Horizons 2, we’ve got a trip to the wonderful Wizarding World of Strixhaven. This update also sees the beginning of the integration of a +1/+1 counters theme in Green/White in an effort to help out our least well received color pair. Color In Out …
Commander Legends and Kaldheim Update
We heard you, it’s taken a moment, but we’ve finally had some time (and have seen enough “when is the update” comments) that here we are! Without any further ado, the CMR and KHM update for The Pauper Cube (100% Monarch-free!) Color In Out The Reasons Perhaps setting a land-speed record for shortest stay…
