Cube Update 04.25.10: Major Overhaul

I didn't expect to have to do another update so soon, but Evan Erwin has released an update to his own Cube, adding Worldwake cards, and also overhauling the size and format of the Cube.  Since I try to mirror Evan's Cube as closely as possible, I have made similar changes, adding 33 cards and removing 20, for a total increase of 13 cards in the size of the Cube.  These changes are designed to promote more monocolor and two-color strategies and less 3 to 5 color builds.  Also, conscious effort was made to make black a more aggressive color in the Cube.  Changes are below.  Full Cube list after the jump.
