Isn't it horrible flavor that these all end up in the same Army?
Maybe you'd want something like Dreadhorde Elite - though clearly you'd still end up with five Armies under the control of one player. But baby steps...
I feel like a version of amass that says "You may create a 0/0 Army token first. If you do, you must choose that token." would work,, but that's not really what amass is for, is it.
I have a variant worded "amass a <X> of <Ygt;" that technically could work, but really would prefer e. g. the Dwarf Army to be blue, so you could go "amass a white Army of Humans, a blue Army of Dwarves" etc. but in the current configuration it wouldn't work. You could keep the colors/subtypes the same with a functionally correct wording that reads really strange: "amass a Human Army of white creatures, amass a Dwarf Army of red creatures".
What is the right cost for a 5/5 that might quickly turn into 14 mana?
Is creating fourteen Treasure tokens with a sorcery better than having a big Treasure artifact on the back face?
Well, the battle still only had two sides. Splitting it into two army tokens seems even more needlessly complex
I copied the 14 treasures from the Smaug token, although I do like the idea of one big artifact
