I'm just here to defend 8.5 Tails. I know it has fallen from grace in these forums, but Anthony convinced me to try it again and it really makes up for being a rather unexciting bear for WW early on by winning the game later on.
As for card classification, here is what I think about that: link
I just looked over ur cube a bit and I think u should look a bit at other cubes as u run some cards that arent good enough (for example 8,5 Tails or Sigiled Paladin or Mentor of the Meek ....). U should reduce WW cards and replace them with better WW cards ;-) or 1W cards.
Also u run too much finishers in blue, u can cut 2-3 of the six drops in a 360.
I also would not run every signet because first they arent needed in certain color combinations and second without them u can sharpen the role of green as ramp and fixing. The only signets I would consider are the Ux ones.
Side note: Porcelain Legionnaire should be in the colorless section as aggressive red decks also want it and it has to be treated as a 2 drop.
Maybe u can look at my cube or eidolons or wtw to get new ideas.
Thanks, I'll check your cube out. I was trying to find some decent cubes to reference. I agree on most of your changes, Mentor seems a bit weak compared to the rest of the cube. Updating now

"What am I looking at? Ashes, dead man."
Oh, no wonder I felt like I had too many artifacts, I was only supposed to have 40. Thanks for that ><
