(Fixed some capitalization issues. No other changes made!)
I decided to wait closer to the deadline to not spam Corwinnn!
Lol... Sorry! :P

Some art just demands an Arna Kennerüd quote.

Entry for art five:
He sounds trustworthy.
This is going to be tough! There are a lot of really good designs and unexpected directions in here. The Planeswalkers are good, but some slight tweaks would have put them higher on the list. A couple of Honorable Mentions in here. @Animist, @poogle and @Connor2001
3rd Place - Adorned Angel by @DomriKade
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/filigree-angel
This one tipped the scales into third by virtue of the flavor. Being "Adorned" played into the artwork, and the "Adornments" could be Artifacts or Enchantments. The "flash/flicker" give it a dual protection/removal potential that can affect the game, without being too overpowered. All in all... a nice card!
2nd Place - Vinewrought Shinguard by @Faiths_Guide
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/vinewrought-shinguard
Luckiy Faiths_Guide was able to find something he liked about the artwork provided!
:P
All joking aside, this was one of the unexpected cards that popped up. A fun little artifact that is inexpensive, effective and not outrageous, with a slight downside. I would expect this would get pulled early in a draft. Another nice card!
1st Place - Adaptive Mutation by @Tomigon
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/adaptative-mutation
I had to read this a few times, but then I finally got it. Another one of the unexpected cards that I really liked! Not only is this Simic, through and through, but it took the obvious White and Green feel of the art, and "Mutated" it into something different! I love the interpretation of the artwork and the usefulness of the card, coupled with some really great flavor! Great job!

I picked this art because it would be the most difficult. It's very specific, and I was curious how people would try to design around it. A few of my honorable mentions for this Art were @ShadowKnight1224, @Connor2001 and @Rednaxela.
3rd Place - Tortured Existence by @Faiths_Guide
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tortured-existence-3
Another nice showing by our reigning Champ. The flavor text felt a bit wonky to me, but I like that once this takes down your opponents creatures, it turns on it's controller!
2nd Place - Blood Crime by @saveria201
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/blood-crime
The thing I liked about this was the lean away from the obvious. Even though I think it might lean more toward B/R the way it's worded, I love that it gives your opponent the ability to keep using it, with the option to use it in a desperate situation, which is rarely a good idea!
1st Place - Suicidal Whisperings by @IanLowenthal
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/suicidal-whisperings
What makes this shine is the flavor. It makes a creature so sad and hopeless that they just can't do anything, and if they do, it's essentially just to do themselves in!

My personal favorite of the five arts. I have been looking forward to the cards made from this. A few Honorable Mentions... @Gunnarinator, @kltmtg29 and @IanLowenthal.
3rd Place - Remember the Fallen by @Latinas
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/remember-the-fallen-10
Great card name, strong effect and wonderful flavor! Nice job!
2nd Place - Puresteel Templar by @Gelectrode
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/puresteel-templar
Great use of flavor and mechanics, and Heaven help us if she ever finds her way to Mirrodin!
1st Place - Amaru Conscript by @Animist
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/amaru-conscript
A very cool common, which is very rare in these kinds of challenges. I love the simplicity and flavor. Nice work!!
