I have a fairly standard common cube, and I am working on adding in M11. I am trying to decide if augury owl is worth replacing cloud of faeries and would very much appreciate your input.
"Do Not Disturb. Why isn't it Don't Disturb? It's time to embrace the contraction. Do Not Disturb is too misleading. Do? Yes I can disturb this guy. Not? *****!"
Those you'll see in nearly every Common/Uncommon Cube. I'd make sure you at least have all of those before any others. If you do, then great! To answer your question, I'm pretty sure I'd take Augury Owl over Cloud of Faeries.
They're both 1/1 fliers, but I think the Owl is more useful overall. You can keep it with a land-tight hand with the hopes of stacking your next few draws to fix your mana. I'm sure some decks (U/R Burn, U/W Blink) wouldn't mind splashing for it either.
The Faeries may be free to cast, but they quickly become irrelevant. Besides, there're better things to do than leave up counter mana to protect a simple flyer.

Yeah, the Augury Owl is the better card. Also, try out Welkin Tern, It's a pretty good card with a minimal drawback (AKA, none, since your attacking with it every turn.)

My gut reaction is that both are a bit meh.
It's a bit hard to give you a better answer without knowing more about your cube environment sorry.

I cube, I play EDH, and I can't afford Legacy. The other formats can suck it.

I wouldn't be--it's plenty good. Imo, it's better than Fathom Seer, as far as your list is concerned.

Eh. If I'm going to put in another 2 drop now, I'd rather Thought Courier.
