Cucho´s Song... that's me... I did this trials right after I played with Haven but was too lazy to make the write ups... anyway here they are
Image
Ok so I went for the Proliferate option, tops at 4 -Loxodon is hardly ever a 5 cmc spell- and tries to abuse Freyalise to ramp a bunch of 2 drops + Counters synergy.
The mana is decent IMO just 2 colors with Benalia as the most prohibitive casting cost spell, Tribunal + Baffling end as removal.. Baffling end could have being Prision realm and there should be at least 2 Nissas.
Chamber Sentry is a fun one cast it T1-T2 and growth it in the course of the game, buy him back if the stars align, Chamber Sentry lets you not run out to threats.

I really like this deck it can be fun and powerful I have played it on several events and I know how to pilot it properly, nothing too fancy as Kiora or as heavy on the PWs as Haven´s deck fun efficient.

I´m gonna give me self a 6 thus I think it is a solid pile.

Heff´s Song
Image

OK this deck... is a mess... I have no clue why Tamiyo or shimmer of possibility are even here... I think Heff´s wanted to try the Explore package as a way to make use of Sage and ultimate Song on the spot... who knows, its even missing our good old WGW to take advantage of all exploring, the 4 Dinos are also intriguing... Again Nissa should be here... some sort of removal or a way to dump your hand faster into the board... but this thing takes a while to get the engines going...
I dont want to pick to much on Heffs heart but man... I hate you for making me play this deck.

I will give you a coz it has lands and spells.

Lol, nice! I'm not sad about you not trying more :)

I had a comment there initially, that the thing I wanted to do was to pop Song via proliferate as a surprise move (having Dino or Sage already on the ground, put Song and the other one, and two lands), sort of trying to 'break' it actually in _some_ way. Guess the rest of the deck also has to work somehow for it all to have sense.

Sorry for being late with judging.

I will play ten fast games per deck without testing them (a lot of mistakes incoming).

DaRkStAr Bioessence Hydra Deck:

1. Dimir Fliers (Song of Freyalise on 3 creatures, then I played Bioessence Hydra. Evolution Sage was now able to buff 4 guys) - Win
2. Simic Elementals (Song of Freyalise on 3 creatures again, then Nissa, Who Shakes the World and 7/7 Hydroid Krasis, next round Evolution Sage + and another Song of Freyalise with 8 units on board. Then i could ultimate Nissa, Who Shakes the World and this happened: https://i.imgur.com/6FLHIL3.jpg - Win
3. White Lifegain (Mana dorks into turn 3 Nissa, Who Shakes the World, Next round Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, Vivien, Champion of the Wilds and Bioessence Hydra) - Win
4. RDW (Too fast) - Lose
5. Temur Elementals (Round 4 Nissa, Who Shakes the World into 10/10 Bioessence Hydra) - Win
6. Jund Sarkhan Masterless (6/6 Hydroid Krasis and 2 Bioessence Hydra on board into a Vivien, Champion of the Wilds) - Win
7. Mardu Hero (I kept a stupid hand.) - Lose
8. Azorius Fliers (Double Song of Freyalise on 3 units, then I could play the following creatures: Roalesk, Apex Hybrid, Bioessence Hydra, 5/5 Hydroid Krasis, but he had Sky Tether for my Roalesk, Apex Hybrid and Bioessence Hydra. I thought I will have enough to defend in the air with another Hydroid Krasis next round, but then he also played Sephara, Sky's Blade as a 9/9. After I killed it with 2 Hydroid Krasis, he got another Sephara, Sky's Blade) - Lose
9. Orzhov Vampires (mana screw) - Lose
10. Simic Midrange (I played some mana dorks, he countered my Roalesk, Apex Hybrid, next round 6/6 Hydroid Krasis , next round another Hydroid Krasis. He conceded) - Win

Win 6:4 Lose

Conclusion: Went pretty well (2 games could count as non games), the wins were very one-sided. Song of Freyalise was super clutch in some games. Definitely very fun deck to play.

Cucho Lambreta Selesnya Proliferate Deck:
Spoiler


1. Temur Elementals (T1 Chamber Sentry, T2 Song of Freyalise, T3 History of Benalia, T4 History of Benalia, T5 Growth-Chamber Guardian, Venerated Loxodon and another Growth-Chamber Guardian. He Conceded) - Win
2. Izzet Phoenix (Pelt Collector gets Shocked, Growth-Chamber Guardian gets Shocked. Chamber Sentry and Ajani, the Greathearted in play, Conclave Tribunal on Niv-Mizzet, Parun, But then he destroyed all the other creatures i played and he could play another Niv-Mizzet, Parun I couldn't deal with) - Lose
3. Bant Midrange (T1 Pelt Collector T2 Growth-Chamber Guardian, T3 Song of Freyalise, T4: History of Benalia and Huatli's Raptor, Then Time Wipe :(. But I succeeded to comeback with Growth-Chamber Guardians and History of Benalia - Win
4. Esper Control (He destroyed every creature i played, Growth-Chamber Guardian Comeback? Lilliana says no.) - Lose
5. Red Elementals (Big Chandra destroyed my creatures, then he played the other Chandras) - Lose
6. Sultai Reanimator (History of Benalia, then Song of Freyalise on 4 creatures, then Venerated Loxodon. He conceded) - Win
7. Izzet Phoenix (He destroyed most of my things and then he had 3x 10/4 Drakes in play.) - Lose
8. Boros Feather (Conclave Tribunals on Dreadhorde Arcanist and on Feather, the Redeemed. Then he Reckless Raged on his Dreadhorde Arcanist to kill my Chamber Sentry, I used Chamber Sentrys ability, Dreadhorde Arcanist died, he gave up.) - Win
9. Esper Control (ANNOYING!!! Comeback with Growth-Chamber Guardians? Nope, he drew Kaya's Wrath number 3. Combeback with History of Benalia? Nope, Cry of Carnarium.) - Lose
10. Mono Blue (I won the tempo game. He conceded) - Win

Win 5:5 Lose

Conclusion: Good deck. I nearly submitted a pretty similar deck, therefore it was easy for me to maneuver. Good tempo plays if you draw right.

DJ0045 Selesnya Token Deck:
Spoiler


1. Mono Black Aggro (Kept a slow hand. Turn 3 Spawn of Mayhem, Ouch. Too fast for me.) - Lose
2. Mono Red Chandra (I had a good start with Venerated Loxodon on turn 3, but then I couldn't get more than 3 lands for a long time. He played Chandra after Chandra meanwhile. But he had no defense and I could attack them all pretty easy. Then i finished him with some tokens getting buffed by Song of Freyalise.) - Win
3. Gruul Aggro (I was way behind, but somehow I managed to not get under 2 life and played so much tokens with March of the Multitude until I could finish him in one blow.) - Win
4. Orzhov Vampires (T1 Legion's Landing, T2 Emmara, Soul of the Accord, T3 Snubhorn Sentry and Saproling Migration, T4 March of the Multitude. Concede.) - Win
5. Sultai Dreadhorde (Song of Freyalise + March of the Multitude MVP and a Conclave Tribunal on Tamiyo, Collector of Tales sealed the deal.) - Win
6. Azorius Fliers (Got a March of the Multitude for 9, but then he played Lyra Dawnbringer and just killed me in the air.) - Lose
7. Izzet (T1 Flower // Flourish, T2 Emmara, Soul of the Accord, T3 Snubhorn Sentry and Saproling Migration, T4 Venerated Loxodon. Concede) - Win
8. Big Red (He had some scary creatures on the board. I played 3 March of the Multitude in a row and this happened: https://i.imgur.com/jgxNYcR.jpg) - Win
9. Mono Black Aggro (Turn 3 Venerated Loxodon for 0 mana, Concede) - Win
10. Mono Green (Turn 3 Venerated Loxodon again sealed the deal more or less.) - Win

Win 8:2 Lose

Conclusion: Very strong deck. But not much "card breaking", therefore it will get some minus points.

Haven_pt Elves Deck:

1. Temur Elementals (I had to eat some Lightning Strikes and Lava Coils, still I got Song of Freyalise on 3 creatures and could dominate the board state from there on.) - Win
2. Esper Control (Seems like he didn't draw any removal and conceded after i had some creatures in play.) - Win
3. RDW (Ajani, the Greathearted stalled until i got some creatures and a Song of Freyalise in play. I got up to 18 life again, he conceded) - win
4. Simic Elves (He got a T4 Biogenic Ooze. I got: T3 Beast Whisperer, T4 Beast Whisperer, T5 Beast Whisperer, T6 I played like 7 cards. He conceded.) - Win
5. Rakdos Sacrifice (T2 Incubation Druid, T3 Ajani, the Greathearted, T4 Ugin, the Ineffable T5 3x Song of Freyalise in my hand) - Win
6. Orzhov Aristocrats Vampires (Conclave Tribunal on my Beast Whisperer was mean. Then new Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord killed a creatures every round until i gave up.) - Lose
7. Azorius Fliers (T1 Pelt Collector, T2 Paradise Druid, T3 Marwyn, the Nurturer and Llanowar Elf. He played Venerated Loxodon on 3 units, but he didn't draw a third land. I could build up my board state faster and overwhelm him.) - Win
8. Gruul Sarkhan's Unsealing (I didn't destroy Sarkhan's Unsealing and he played a Ghalta, Primal Hunger and board wiped me) - Lose
9. Black Aggro (T1 Llanowar Elf, T2 Paradise Druid, T3 Incubation Druid and Pollenbright Druid, T4 Ugin, the Ineffable. He had a lot of removal but no Board Wipe, so I slowly build up until i could ulti Vivien Reid. He conceded) - Win
10. Rakdos Aggro (Mana Flood) - Lose

Win 7:3 Lose

Conclusion: Way better than I expected, maybe also luck with my opponents. But not much "card breaking" with Song of Freyalise.

2. Dimir Control (2x Pelt Collector + Evolution Sage and enough Lands in hand) - Win
3. Rakdos Sacrifice (Song of Freyalise on Mowu, Loyal Companion 2x Wayward Swordtooth. I got him to 2 Life, then he God-Eternal Bontu, Mayhem Devil, Tibalt, Rakish Instigator,.. dinged me to exactly 0 Life.) - Lose

Explore revealed a God-Eternal Rhonas on top of my library, if he can't finish me now, I should win next round. Nope.) - Lose

Win 4:6 Lose

I was afraid i won't get any wins with the deck, but it performed pretty okay. Bonus points for being creative and janky.

edit: I will post the final scores tomorrow.

Final Ranking:

I will consider the results of the 10 Games I played with the decks + some Bonus Points.

DaRkStAr: This deck is soo much fun. For sure it has it's flaws, but not as much as you would think at first. All the wins where totally one-sided and Song of Freyalise is an important part of the deck.
6 Wins | +0,5 Bonus Points for Card Breaking, +1 Bonus Points for Fun. = 7,5 Points

Cucho Lambreta: I like this deck very much. Song of Freyalise + History of Benalia is an awesome combo. Chamber Sentry was a good choice. Proliferate is fun.
5 Wins | +0.5 Bonus Points for Card Breaking, +1 Bonus Points for Fun. = 6,5 Points

DJ0045: Selesnya Tokens is just a really strong deck, Song of Freyalise fits in the deck quite okay. But it's not really creative card breaking.
8 Wins | -0,5 Points for Card Breaking, +0,5 Points for Fun = 8 Points

Haven_pt: Mono G Elfball is just a really strong deck, Song of Freyalise fits in the deck quite okay. But it's not really creative card breaking.
7 Wins | -0,5 Points for Card Breaking, +0,5 Points for Fun = 7 Points

Heffalump: The most janky and creative deck submission. There were some fun interactions, but unfortunately the combos happen rarely if the opponent also does something.
4 Wins | +1 Bonus Points for Card Breaking, +1 Bonus Points for Fun = 6 Points

Final Scores:
