Searching the art for Servo Control Freak got me thinking about one fact: Eventually I will just HATE Kaladesh for making it so fricking hard to find appropriate artwork. I don't really like the one on Servo Control Freak. It's a big control panel in the background and she's wired with her cap through cables to that bord (at least I made it quite look like that in the chosen image detail), but alltogether it doesn't seem very kaladeshian to me (is it just me or does that sound like Kardashian? have fun getting THAT out of your brains in the next couple of months! muahaha!). And I think this won't get better.
Sorry I haven't made any entries until now - have been busy this past week. Anyway, here's one: (And while there are no tokens, I think this still works with the mechanic [though not exactly what the creator of the mechanic envisioned I guess])
Legacy - Chitinous Slime by @Mila http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/chitinous-slime?list=set&set=13824 "It's like a horrific earthworm. When you cut it into halfs, both pieces start to crawl and bite. But that's not the worst. Covered with infectious slime, it spreads diseases, that weaken all our men." Thanks Mila! I fully agree!
We tried something different this time with the number of entries and it didn't quite have the effect that we wanted. As a result we ended up with a lot of the same people getting top honors for multiple cards, which doesn't happen too often. We'll try something a little different next time!

Block it, get the smacky stick. Don't block it, get the smacky stick. Just don't feed it after Midnight.... Ooops, I fed it a Womp!teehee

Flitterstorm - Corpse Storm by @Monty
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/corpse-storm-1?list=set&set=13824
I don't know how this is supposed to work on a Sorcery, but the concept and the art are fantastic... Corpses falling from the sky! Ha!
Puppetmaster - Dark Matchmaker by @kltmtg29
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dark-matchmaker?list=set&set=13824

Parasitism - Venomous Parasite by @ktlmtg29
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/venomous-parasite?list=set&set=13824
You can't kill it, you can't block it, and you can't let it keep smacking you... Nice and evil!

http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/caralda-wisp-queen?list=set&set=13824
Ooo look out! Here come the Wisps. Ha ha ha! What the...? RUN!
Entangle - Adept Volleymage by @Monty
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/adept-volleymage?list=set&set=13824
This mechanic is seriously overpowered, and I like that you tried to tone it down with a self imposed restriction! Nice work!
Avenge - Angel of Death by @Mila
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/angel-of-death-79?list=set&set=13824
If I ever need to be reminded about how evil Mila's cards are, just remind me about this card! Nothing like a little recursion to clear the way!
Mindwipe - Sensecleave Brute by @Monty
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/sensecleave-brute?list=set&set=13824
Remember the Slith? This bad boy is like the Slith, but on steroids! Definitely more of a rare than uncommon, but still quite fun!

http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/battlerage-barbarian?list=set&set=13824
This one wins the award for the card with the most italics!
Cripple - Sibntei, Infested Hoarder by @Blazin_Biscuit
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/sibntei-infested-hoarder?list=set&set=13824
Despite the little mistakes, I thought this was a very creative use of Cripple! Nice work!
Repair - Burlap Architect by @Monty
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/burlap-architect?list=set&set=13824
Congrats to Monty for being the only one brave enough to tackle the repair mechanic! However, we may have to work on your dyslexia (sub-type).

A flying Eldrazi that smites stuff? Sign me up!
