@RighteousSinner I'm going let any last minute entries get in till I actually start judging. I'm pretty loose on rules, I just happen to pick a day. This isn't a contest for any major cash prizes or circuit challenge so I am willing be flexible. I will extend it a few more days if there's still interest in this contest to 1/24/2020.
@RighteousSinner If you have any legal entries, feel free squeeze them in before the finale. Same for you KalamMekhar if you wanted to get in a card beofre this ends.
While I'm picking this card,but the first is really for your collective effort. I wanted give your Archangel of Absolution first, but could stand a few minor tweaks.(I will mention on said card.) I also liked your Kraken quite a bit too. So rather than award multiple cards of one person multiple places in the top 5, I will simply award you first place.
Second place @ benw -4 favorites of your choice
Between the theme, mechanics, and art we have a winner here. I think this card would really shine as a commander, since the mirage tokens would stick around even if it died, and would help recast it. Between the ability to flicker it, and use other enchantments to double the number of tokens you have this could easily get out of hand, and commander damage players out of the game. A very strong second place.
Third place @spookoops -3 favorites of your choice
I like you took advantage of the potential for reduction effects. So this card might be slightly overcost if you have hardcast it, but it's very easy to cast it for 4 mana. Especially if you built around it as it could be quite powerful if built around, but it's far from a broken card. I like it, so it gets third place.
Fourth place @Sorinjace -2 favorites of your choice
A powerful commander for spider tribal. Flyers wouldn't a chance. No one wants be caught walking in this spider web. It gets fourth for your effort.
Fifth place @ArchieTaylor -2 favorites of your choice
Again, I like when people put reduction effects that make sense on a card in this contest. Given it works with the effect and fits well with in the colors green/black/Golgari thematically. Decks like Korvold, Faecursed King really want a card like this.
That's my top five entries. Just list the cards you wanted me to favorite and I will take care of it. I will be sure to favorite my favorite entry from each contestant since I wasn't as quick as I'd like for judging this contest. It's my way of rewarding everyone's patience and for playing along.
@Lastjustice Hmm... Much thanks, boss! So... I don't really have preferences since I'm just experimenting around with the cards. Here's my profile page instead.

Entries one and two for me are old cards. I'll probably come back to this comment and enter a new one.
First two. I'll probably have more.
That's it from me guys. Good luck to everyone in this contest!!!
I also have another contest started for those looking for more cards to smith.
