Thanks for your entry! I fixed the wording a little bit. Check out the comments on your card! You can remake it as many times as you want!
Tree of Memories
-See Gild, King Macar, and Goblin Kaboomist for creative inspiration!

Made this for the Manlands challenge a long while back, but it wasn't a Manland due to Token restrictions. I wanted it to become Gray Sparrow and create Bladecross, but it didn't work out like that. The flavor is a bit strange, but I'm still proud of how it turned out.
Winning cards aren't so balanced well (imo) this time. I didn't have so many entries, and I couldn't pick three cards that I think they're almost perfect as winning cards. But the cards are all very interesting and enjoyable to see!

"Bladecross Grave" by @CrucibleOfHate

^It would depend on the set, but usually, lands are very difficult permanents to deal with. That mechanic is a bit too powerful for being operated by a land. Even the token is a legendary, you can always keep one as long as the land is on the battlefield. But the flavor is super cool! It's like a important scene of a hero story.
"Tree of Memories" by @DomriKade

^Same reason as CrucibleOfHate's card. But the cost is high, so it won't be used in standard, I think. But it will be a too much threat in Multiplayer or EDH.
"Tales of the Traitor" by @kkarn

^Very enjoyable concept! But the card is a bit weak for a 5 drop mythic. The mechanic is not difficult to deal with. And the token doesn't need to be a legendary because it's only produced once.

^I love the art and flavor! Also, thanks for making a card that produces non-creature legendary token!

"Conscience Manifestation" by @dibbydubsdubs

^Very fun finisher in UB control deck! I also like the powerful art! However, there's not so very big point in making it a sorcery. Off course there's a difference, but I think it could simply be a legendary creature. Still cool tho!

"Salvage Vat" by @Gelectrode

I love imprint! But it feels a bit weird when I imagine legendary creatures are produced by Vats in the Simic laboratory or something. Hahaha! But the biggest reason it didn't get in to the top 3 is because you didn't put a name on the token. It is very important thing that makes a big difference on the mechanic.. I think I should have let you know. Sorry!
- 3rd place!
"Amicus, Slayer of the Vast" by @Mobin
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/amicus-slayer-of-the-vast-1?list=user
^I have to say, it is overpowered. But what I really like about this is that the token really looks like a partner of his master! One of the few entries that have a interaction between the token and the card. But unfortunately, it was a bit off from color wheel.
- 2nd place!!
"Swamp Genesis" by @Cond43
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/swamp-genesis-1?list=user
^The card won 2nd place by its mechanic. I want to see how the card works in real game! It seems powerful because it is an enchantment, but I think it's not that broken level.
- 1st place!!!
"Alya, angel of friendship" by @jjo04
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/alya-angel-of-friendship-2?list=user
^First let me address the beautiful art! It really looks like the angel is summoning the token! Nice! Wave mechanic is very intriguing. I'd definitely like to see more iterations and/or applications of it. But the token is very powerful, and I'm not sure it is balanced or not. I would go +1/+1 instead of +2/+1. But still cool card! Congrats!

Thanks for your entries everyone!
I really enjoyed this a lot!
I'm willing to help you if you want to fix your cards to make it more balanced. So feel free to contact me. If you make a new version, I'll move a TROPHY from the old to the new one.
Thanks again!
