, Put a 2/2 colorless Golem artifact creature token onto the battlefield. That permanent Imitates another target permanent (It gains a name another target permanent has until the end of turn.)
That doesn't seem to quite work. It gains vigilance until end of turn, but it doesn't have haste so it can't attack the turn it has vigilance.
Even if this did work, I think it'd be phrased more simply as "
: Put a 2/2 colourless Golem artifact creature token OTB. That token imitates another target permanent. (Imitate reminder text.)"
What doesn't work? This has vigilance too, so you attack and make a token each turn. That seems good enough, even just making vanilla tokens and not being a vigilance lord.
Thing is, it looks like it's trying to do one thing "Stuff that shares my name is vigilant, and I make stuff that shares my name - so it's vigilant! Yeah!"
and then kicks you in the teeth with "But, they don't need it, and don't have it when they do need it" So why give it?
What it really does is enable OTHER stuff that cares about names - creating tokens that share names with stuff, to activate your other mechanics. Which is plenty interesting and valuable. So I'd focus on that, and put the first clause onto another card that doesn't have the token making.
fair enough
