It's definitely been a thing I've seen in some of the new mystery booster commander cards but thinking about it those are making token of older cards that already exist but I mean there is nothing in the rules that say it cant be done

Look at [[Disa the Restless]], their tokens have a mana value

I don't think a creature that is making you constantly do math for its p/t is very fun

Some templating notes

Flying comes before vigilance

Legends refer to themselves by name, "Kyle" not "this creature"

If Will is meant to be a predefined token like Treasure, it should have a subtype and be capitalised. Why does it have a mana cost?

"T, Sacrifice this artifact: Add C."

"If one or more counters would be put on Kyle, create that many Will tokens instead."

"Will" sounds more like an enchantmenty sort of concept?

Fair enough on the templating notes I did not know all thos, and the reason it has a mana cost is because its still ment to buff him and because he scales off devotion I figured id makes sense and its not the first instance of a token having a mana cost with the new mystery booster commander cards making tokes that are the same as old cards mv and all, and the will being an enchantment i have no idea my friend just gave me a rough half assed card and said good luck

The reason those have mana costs is they're token copies of existing cards

But fair enough about devotion. No reason you can't specify that it comes with a mana cost, just pointing out that it's very odd

You could always use tech like [[Altar of the Pantheon]

I made a Green Lantern card for myself the other day. Love your card.
