1. what are the cards called?
2. I expected more than basic crossovers. Find some way to synergize them!
3. Try to have colors from both guilds
4. It's jumpstart, not kickstart
But overall, i think your idea has potental, it just needs polishing

GENERATION 11: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your signature and add 1 to the generation number. It's a social experiment.
The whole point of the designs is that the cards are of the shared color between two guilds and hence qualify to be of the color the guilds have in common - like the inverse of a hybrid design this doesn't show the mechanical space where two colors overlap, but the color space where two mechanics overlap.
Your request is like asking for Boros Recruit to have "Try to have more mechanics from both colors". The first card already has a color from each guild: White from Selesnya and white from Boros. Perfect.

I'd suggest to make the green card a creature (variant of Golgari Raiders) or something that doesn't require untapped creatures to be actually effective. Maybe a Beast Hunt for a spell, but the cycle can use another creature with Izzet's mechanic boxing you into nonpermanent spells for a few cards, or at least something that plays similar to a creature e. g. a token creation effect.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

So I know it's already been done with Overwhelm, but the green card here drives home how awkward it is to staple Convoke onto an Overrun effect.
Maybe instead you could make it a "target creature gets X +1/+1 counters and gain X life," or even "Each creature you control gets X +1/+1 counters," so you can still tap creatures this turn, but get use out of the buff later. With different cost, of course.
Or an instant that gives +X/+X and trample to one creature. Maybe that would be in the 2-3 CMC range. You gotta make sure it's expensive enough that the convoke actually feels relevant, and at 2 CMC there's the threat of it not feeling relevant. Maybe at 3 CMC giving the +X/+X, trample, and hexproof?
Giving all creatures Mentor is more powerful than you realize, and more complex. And with kickstart, at that low of a cost you can easily do it twice on a turn. Each instance of Mentor triggers separately. That one should cost at least 3R.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."

Oh, guess I missed that one.
Actually, all of them have shared colors. my bad!
