Looks a lot worse than Assemble the Legion. That gives you both effects rather than just one, and for free rather than for
, and still for 5 mana. Okay, this makes 2/2s and can be used by any colour, which does mean it shouldn't be as good... hmm.
If you drop the cost of
, then this becomes "tap it the turn you cast it, then next turn onwards it makes a 2/2". That's similar to Bloodline Keeper, Garruk Relentless or Xenagos, the Reveler (all being used only for their token-making effect, nothing else). So it seems black or green can get that for 4 mana (albeit at mythic in some cases). Those cards all have another powerful alternative effect, but so does (this hypothetical change to) this one: you can forgo making a token for a turn, to charge it up to make two tokens a turn from then on.
Okay, maybe dropping the cost of
entirely might be a bit good. I think it could come down to 
though.
