Hmm. MaRo says there have been potential rules issues with reprinting one half of an existing card as a split card. And this is similar to that with Conquer, but changing it a bit too. And names are so key to split cards that this may be a pretty fundamental problem.
I do like the "Divide" idea a lot. It's a little reminiscent of Stand or Fall or Do or Die, but less fiddly.
I didn't realize Conquer was already a card. I came up with the name and worked from there.
A shame Conquer is an enchant land. I'd have said "Just use Conquer. It's underpowered anyway, and while Rosewater, and any good designer should have their misgivings, that doesn't mean it can't be done."
But, alas, Enchant Land. Though you do make me want to add a cycle of cards like this to some future block. Find 5 cards that are well past their prime and smoosh them into a split card. I'm sure you'd end up with a love/hate thing.
