    Additionally, 1 activation should lead to:

    Gain 5, then lose 8 = draw 2 cards that turn for 3 life (which is still better than 4 life, although you don't get to choose from the top 3)


    Would also like to see that confirmed by someone with rules knowledge :D

    6/8/2016 If you choose to draw two cards, then replace one or more of those draws with some other effect, the rest of Sylvan Library’s ability still happens. If you’ve actually drawn only one card that turn, you must choose that card and either pay 4 life or put it on top of your library. If you haven’t actually drawn any cards that turn, the rest of the ability has no effect.

    So yes, gain 10, pay 4. Alternatively spend 1 turn to gain 15, then draw 6 over the next two turns and lose 1 life overall.

    Thanks Fox. This interaction just worked on MTGO, so I believe we have double confirmation.

    Yes, with (2) Sylvan Librarys and (1) Words of Wilding you can:

    • Pay 5 mana skip 5 draws, draw 0 pay 0 life make 5 dudes
    • Pay 4 mana skip 4 draws, draw 1 pay 4 life make 4 dudes
    • Pay 3 mana skip 3 draws, draw 2 pay 8 life make 3 dudes
    • Pay 2 mana skip 2 draws, draw 2 pay 8 life make 2 dudes
    • Pay 1 mana skip 1 draws, draw 2 pay 8 life make 1 dudes
    • Pay 1 mana skip 1 draws, draw 1 pay 4 life make 1 dudes
    • Pay 0 mana skip 0 draws, draw 1 pay 0 life make 0 dudes

    And as for the original post with Words of Worship and (2) Sylvan Librarys you can:

    • Pay 5 mana skip 5 draws, draw 0 pay 0 life, Gain 25 life – Net +25 Life
    • Pay 4 mana skip 4 draws, draw 1 pay 4 life, Gain 20 life – Net +16 Life
    • Pay 3 mana skip 3 draws, draw 2 pay 8 life, Gain 15 life – Net +7 Life
    • Pay 2 mana skip 2 draws, draw 3 pay 12 life, Gain 10 life – Net -2 Life
    • Pay 1 mana skip 1 draws, draw 4 pay 16 life, Gain 5 life – Net -11 Life

    There are more iterations, but you get the idea.
