This could be templated various ways. It could have a special symbol, or create a gold counter. Or it could not be mana at all, it could be "Add " OR "Add one pseudolife". I tried to follow the new guidelines for convoke in letting you pay with something else instead of reducing the cost.
I'm not sure about balance. In most ways it's less powerful than "gain 1 life" since it can't be saved up, too many "gain 1 life" lands could make it impossible for someone to outrace you. But lots of effects are balanced by requiring a life payment you can only make so many times.
Very cool. I have a feeling I've seen a custom set somewhere which creates a kind of token that can be spent to pay for either or 1 life (and then has a bunch of cards which you can pay life to). I can't remember where I saw it though.
somebody's version of gold counters worked that way, they could either be spent as 1 or 1 life. maybe it was the original version from the great designer search 2?

This is a neat idea.
