With earthbending cards like Badgermole Cub, the interaction of animating an MDFC bolt land that has a creature as the front half means it returns as a creature when the land dies / exiles. This can really increases the stock of things like Disciple of Freyalise / Witch Enchanter / Pinnacle Monk if you're going to be playing a handful of earthbending cards.
I've played the MH3 draft and I've found the value on this creature is pretty abysmal. However, I've found Pinnacle Monk to be a lot stronger, especially rebuying removal in the mid to late game.
I don't think earthbending really moves the needle on any of these creatures. Even if you manage to earthbend an MDFC of value, your opponent can often times elect to not kill it. I think the cards that benefit the most from earthbending are the Restless cycle of manlands.
That said, Disciple of Freyalise is probably cubeworthy just on her own merits. She's a land that you can pitch to Endurance / Survival of the Fittest, and she can also do some gross things with multi-card cheating effects. Heck, now that I think about it, I probably should be playing more cards from this cycle...

However, I've found the rate on Turntimber Symbiosis to be fairly good.
