Backgrounds
Because of the rarity restriction in Pauper Commander, only uncommon Backgrounds can be your commander. Don’t forget that the common Backgrounds can still be used in the rest of your deck.
Adventures
Casting either the creature or adventure from the command zone will increase commander tax. After resolving the adventure, it can be moved to exile or put back in the command zone. Casting the creature from exile does not apply commander tax.
Attractions
An attraction deck must have 10 different attraction cards, and Pauper Commander would require those cards to be of common rarity. Because there are only 8 common attractions that don’t have the illegal acorn symbol, Pauper Commander cannot have attraction decks.
