This feels really similar to Powercult Salvation. Is the need for a
instant that puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature that strong that you add it twice to the set?
The death trigger seems more complicated than necessary. The tribal component of the set doesn't seem developed enough to make you want to care too much about having the choice between two so similar tokens. You'd easily get away with pre-defining one of the tokens here.
Also at the cost of
the need for the creature to die before you get the token is quite a hoop to jump through. At that cost you could get the token and the +1/+1 counter with no hoop - like a Backup Agent with flash.
Those are valid points. I will say that the +1/+1 counter was less the goal and justification for a
instant that wasn't just creating two tokens. Powercult Salvation was designed as a protection spell. This was a poor answer to the question of what spaces can be explored on a two-drop green-white card.
This really isn't a good design, so thank you for pointing that out.

Just the first option is not what you expect at common. You get to "draw tree cards" at times, but there is significantly less cards at common that return that amount of cards.
The relative values of the modes are also imbalanced. First mode I'd expect at
+, second mode more closely 
, third mode could be
.
It's like you mixed up the direction you wanted to go with 3, 2, 1.
I could Revive the Shire, Expanded Anatomy and Return Triumphant as three balanced modes on a single spell, maybe even at
, but common could be less aggressively cost.
Mentioning planeswalker in a mode that will be fine allowing for only creatures makes for some expectations for the environment.
Thanks for the assessment SecretInfiltrator
