Can you cycle a copy of a card in hand?

Asked by DudeManBro66 1 year ago

Let's say I draw Boon of the Wish-Giver as my card for the turn, and I have God-Eternal Kefnet on the battlefield. As a part of that creature's ability, I reveal Boon of the Wish-Giver and create a copy of it. (The copy is specifically a card, not a spell.) Can I use the cycling ability of the copy?
