No problem!
But before that, (qualified)entries were only 7, so I'll give my thought for each card.(as always sorry if my English is wrong)
Wood weft Soulbinder by @Cnatch
Unlike putting a reanimate ability on itself, tokens remain on the battlefield. So you can return any creature card from your graveyard at any time. Only token generator can have such mechanic. Very nice, simple and neat answer for this challenge! By the way, this is a tiny nitpicking - "create a colorless artifact token named Totem" is correct wording.
The Phantom Gate by @RohanDragoon
If you can't create 2 or more tokens, there's not so much a big point in making a token. But t's a very enjoyable card. I like how you got the portal idea from the art. Unfortunately we couldn't figure out the good wording that fits in the text box.
Sugothian Tomb by @venom1149
I couldn't quite understand this card. Why dying creature can make a tomb? Also why tomb can exile a living creature and shuffle your library?
Assembly Line by @MaverickGV
First thing that caught my eyes is "Artifact tokens you control have indestructible." I would rather build an artifact token deck around this card. I wouldn't use this land for winning with 20 tokens. Also if you don't add any effect on the token, you just could use counters that put on this land. But if it is a token, you can sacrifice it for other purpose, that makes the sense that the token's name is "resource".
Gruesome Memorial by @Faiths_Guide
It forces players very hard decisions. If I build a deck around this card, there'll be midrange size creatures with enchantment removal spells, or big creatures with reanimate spells. Either way, I want opponent to destroy creatures too, otherwise it would be a bit boring.. But it's a very flavorful and interesting card! I like it a lot!
Sandstorm Elemental by @DeepSky
It's a nice idea that create a token that is a copy of real existing card. At first I got similar impression to what I got from Gruesome Memorial. Because it stops the game. But the different thing is, creatures can attack once, and Sandstorm Elemental can attack every turn. Very flavorful mechanic with that art.
Tessia, Incarnation of Cruelty by @Tutlaschk
I didn't expect the card that creates 4 different tokens coming! It's a very clever use of the art. I think WotC might actually do this in the future! Its cmc is very high, but it leaves 4 equipments on the battlefield. So I think it's good. I can't say it's a 100% quality and balanced card though.. For me, higher its cmc is, harder to think about its quality. But it's a cool idea for sure!
