I may be alone in this, but I am not a fan of removing all older creatures for newer ones. Blastoderm has a rich Magical history, and Yeva is barely legal as of today. I'll find something else to remove for her to try her.
Sadly, Knight. Teeg is sneaky-good vs. control decks, and Sigarda is still too new to pull her out until you test her a lot. The other three are never leaving my Cube, most likely.
I think Sphinx is the more powerful card of the two now, but Morphling is super flexible and is a former title-holder of the Best Creature in Magic, so he isn't coming out of my Cube.
You should try Cagebreakers. I have had it in mine for a while, and it fits perfectly at the top of a curve. It is often swinging for 6-10 damage here for a single G, and that is good enough for me for now. It really punishes sweeper decks, which is another thing I like that green is getting to do now (undying, e.g.). Bonus points if you have Survival of the Fittest...
(Had a game the other day where I cycled through 4-5 creatures on turn 6...turn 7 land, Lightning Greaves, Cagebreakers, equip, attack for 16?)
Wolf Run is the only one I'm running (GET IT?) at 540ish, but I think Township gets a leg up if you support tokens as a theme into the 450-540 range. Vault and Haunt, while they shine in Standard, aren't that spectacular IMO in Cube. Over 720+, for sure.
I'm adding Sage in my next update, since I feel as though it is almost a must-kill as you cannot allow people to start dropping bombs on you on turn 3 or 4. That's good enough to convince me to give it a go.
Not to speak for anyone, but I think Antknee may have unintentionally misrepresented the value of filterlands. They don't make bad manabases better; they make good manabases broken. This in turn leads to the enabling of four and five-color decks, which was the reason why I scaled back on my mana-fixing by removing (most of the) filterlands and vivid lands. This theory is lent credence by Antknee mentioning the reduced presence of 4-5 color decks. If the deck came together poorly, there wouldn't be such a prevalence of this decktype.
Well, that is certainly true as well. My point was more that you don't have to work as hard to cast the color-intensive spells, which should be the bane of 4- and 5c decks. Sorry if I made it seem like they make bad bases awesome; what they do is allow you to do things that you shouldn't be able to do with a lot more help.
I actually think the filters are TOO good at fixing CC/CCC/CCCC mana costs, and therefore took them out of my Cube years ago because they were a little too good at fixing bad drafting/manabases (casting cards like Cryptic Command too easily, e.g.).
It also calmed down the number of 4-5c decks we were seeing, too. Good change.
I love morphs, and I cut Hermit for being very mediocre years ago. It was always awkward, and the addition of blink effects in Cube has made Deranged even better.
