Kaya, Spirits' Justice

Legendary Planeswalker — Kaya

Whenever one or more creatures you control and/or creature cards in your graveyard are put into exile, you may choose a creature card from among them. Until end of turn, target token you control becomes a copy of it, except it has flying.

+2: Surveil 2, then exile a card from a graveyard. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest back on top of your library in any order.)

+1: Create a 1/1 white and black Spirit creature token with flying.

-2: Exile target creature you control. For each other player, exile up to one target creature that player controls.

The reason this works is that while exiling a creature you control seems like a cost, it isn't. The only cost to activate the ability is to remove 2 counters from Kaya, Spirits' Justice. In order to activate the ability you also need to choose valid targets, including a creature you control, but for the ability to resolve only one of those targets still needs to be legal. You can sacrifice the spirit to the ward trigger, or even another spell or ability you wish to cast/activate.

We are in my main phase. My opponent controls a Vein Ripper. I control Kaya, Spirits' Justice, a 1/1 Spirit token and no other nonland permanents.

Can I activate Kaya’s -2 ability targeting Vein Ripper then sacrifice the spirit token I should be exiling to pay for Vein Ripper’s Ward?
