Sylvan Library + Words of Worship/War/Wilding, etc

Sylvan Library
1G (2), Enchantment
At the beginning of your draw step, you may draw two cards. If you do, choose two cards in your hand drawn this turn. For each of those cards, pay 4 life or put the card on top of your library.

Words of Worship
2W (3), Enchantment
{1}: The next time you would draw a card this turn, you gain 5 life instead.

Words of War
2R (3), Enchantment
{1}: The next time you would draw a card this turn, Words of War deals 2 damage to target creature or player instead.

Words of Wilding
2G (3), Enchantment
{1}: The next time you would draw a card this turn, put a 2/2 green Bear creature token into play instead.

Does this work? uncounterable way to get every turn 10 life points or 2 2/2 green bears, or 4 damages to opponent. just paying 2.

Can this work?

Yes, that will work. However, because Sylvan Library says "two cards in your hand drawn this turn", if you drew your card for your turn, you will have to either pay 4 life or put it back.

Drawing your card for your turn happens at the beginng of your draw step, before Sylvan Library goes on the stack.

If you replace both your draw and Sylvan Library's draws (3 activations), you will not have to pay any life or put any cards back. And you can add additional Libraries for more fun.

Also, you need to activate Words during your upkeep if you want to replace your draw for the turn, since you do not get priority during your draw step until after you draw.

X Number of Sylvan Librarys + Words of Worship + Well of Lost Dreams, presumably you WANT to wait to pay for the Well of Lost Dreams trigger until after you've replaced the last Sylvan Library card draws with gaining life from Words of Worship, correct? Because if you replaced your draw step with gaining 5 life, and paid X up to 5 to draw up to 5 cards with Well of Lost Dreams, then later drew 2 with Sylvan Library you'd be on the hook to put cards back (from Well of Lost Dreams) whether you replace those draws from Sylvan Library or not. Do I have this right?

Yeah, if the Sylvan trigger resolves, it wants two cards you've drawn to be put back. So, you don't want to have drawn any cards before that trigger is done resolving if you don't want to have to put any back.

So, I'm pretty sure you want to replace your normal draw and all the draws from Library with life gain and since it's a replacement effect, the trigger from Well won't go on the stack until the Library's trigger is done resolving, then you can pay your X.

I'm bad at math, but I think that if you want to draw and keep the most amount of cards, unless you have a very large amount of mana, you probably don't want to use the Library trigger at all.
