Wizards are really getting their act together when it comes to their MTGO Cube lists (though sadly not for MTGO in general, but that's another story).
This is a really solid set of changes (although some of the cards coming out were so out of place in a 540 Powered list that any halfway reasonable replacement looks amazing by comparison). There are a couple of cuts that I would vehemently disagree with (Miscalculation, Toxic Deluge, ...), a couple questionable cards that stay (what's with the obsession for Mesmeric Fiend/Brain Maggot? Does a 540 Powered list really need Thundermaw Hellkite and Stormbreath Dragon and Sarkhan the Dragonspeaker at Red 5cc?) and of course a bunch of plausible additions that remain sidelined.
But overall, I don't think there will be anyone that doesn't think it's a massive improvement.
I really like that these changes go in the opposite direction of those made to the re-christened Legacy Cube. There they cut the swingiest cards, here they add even more brokenness (Twin Combo! Time Vault Combo! Oath of Druids!). I think both lists are better for it, and more importantly, both Cubes now have a well-defined identity instead of "the same thing but with the Power 9".
Thumbs up, and looking forward to doing some really broken stuff :-).
Well, I believed in the 5936 list because it is perfectly identical to yours, except the Zone ( http://www.cubetutor.com/comparecubes/12000/5936 ). It can still be just a filler the manager put up.

A Comprehensive list of Cube Archetypes

The link on the OP is not working for me, so I can't verify; but I believe http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/5936 has the correct list. If it's true, you just need to add Awakening Zone.
EDIT: by the way nice number for the cube
