I recognize this is in a guild slot, and therefore probably won't make the cut, but it's so cheap that I feel it's at least worth considering. Thoughts? Breaks a board stall and can get pretty big with tokens out.
This has several of the same problems as Driven // Despair, while having a lower ceiling. This does several different things at once, and I don't doubt it will play better than it looks, but this was never going to make the tightest cubes, and sorcery speed probably keeps it out of others.
Speaking personally, I have plenty of room in Selesnya, and I wouldn't be ashamed to play this card, but it's not that inspiring. I'm sure you could get up to some tricks using the different halves of this card cleverly, but the card doesn't scream "play me".
I've considered making a multicolor cube where every card has multiple modes. These kinda-sorta-not-quite-cubeable aftermath cards are perfect for something like that.
I am Happy // Test this in my cube. My G/W Archetype is tokens and this card fits perfectly in that deck. I don't think I would play this in a "just the best cards" type of cube.
I would be more happy if it were instant but as Sorcery it's more than fine since it grants trample.

Not as good as the Reason//Believe response, but A for effort.
Seriously, though, I read this card and I thought, "Oh sweet, finally a playable combat trick. Oh, it's sorcery. Never mind."
