"A card that can make a token that’s a copy of target permanent for no mana"

Nothing is ever free in Magic. Certain conditions have to be met even if at first glance it seems to be free. In this card which we do not know at the moment. Is it a creature , Enchantment , Artifact or Land or a planeswlker perhaps?

So if you are not paying in mana then what are you paying with? Are you paying with your life points?(This makes it seem like Phyrexian Mana!!!) or are you paying with sacrificed creatures? Or cards from your GY like in Delve? Are you paying by milling yourself? Are you tapping creatures like in Convoke?

So many questions and ones that can only be answered in time.It is great to be able to speculate though.
