Not sure if I should raise his power/toughness and CMC to boot.

Convoke generally means a very high CMC for a card's abilities, since it's a built-in way to make the card less expensive. I'd bump the CMC up over 6. If you removed convoke, I'd still have this card as a 5 or 6 cost.
The copy ability needs to read "whenever another non-token creature enters the battlefield" to prevent copying the token copies. I'd also recommend a limiter so that you couldn't copy opponents' creatures, otherwise this is a cheap anti-legend weapon. |

Actually, I intended for the card to be able to produce multiple copies. If Ringlon has access to the mana to duplicate a creature more than once, then so be it. Also, I wanted it to be able to make copies of your opponents' creatures if you felt the need to do so, but I didn't think about it hosing legendary creatures. Guess I could throw "nonlegendary" in there.
I think I'll also raise the CMC and power/toughness (slightly) while removing convoke. When I added convoke, my thoughts were, "OK, this guy doesn't seem too green. Let's give him trample. No..." Poor design.  Thanks for your feedback!

Since the tokens don't disappear at end of turn, I wouldn't give them haste. Haste is normally seen on red abilities that make token copies, but those tokens disappear at end of turn.
Making the ability more mana-intensive (1GU) could make the card feel more green. It's also a limiter on the ability's power. Hybrid mana is another option; 2G/U is an easier cost to pay than 2U in a multi-color deck. Either way should be fine. |

No, I think for the ability the Power is fine. The activation cost maybe. Pretty good card

Looking back on it, 2U for the activation is a little much, but 1U might be too little. I don't want the card to mass produce creatures too easily. UG might be better. The haste advice also is good.
Edited. |
