Will-I-Am: Dix's Will, Scion of Peace brew to play in cosplay at events

[untold crypt]

Hey y'all! As title says, I'm building this to play on character as Will, Scion of Peace when I wear my cosplay that I built for the MagicCon Vegas cosplay contest (photo below).

Looking for some help with cuts primarily but also some spicy suggestions for a fairly standard Will, Scion of Peace deck that just gains life and casts big stuff.

Nothing really cheeky or outside what the straightforward path would be for the WoE Kenrith Twins kind of thing to gain or lose life and use it to fuel huge X spells or lop off giant generic mana costs.

I've tried to put a bunch of incidental life gain that ticks off on its own but also tried to find the best efficient life gain spells that are between 1 and 2 Mana Value to basically cheat Mana costs by being Better Dark Rituals. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello, I was wondering about [[invasion of new phyrexia]] here. Is it just to be an x spell that makes a lot of tokens for the lifegain?

Yeah it basically is. I was just tossing stuff in and winnowing things out from there. Started with a bunch of (X)UW style spells

Is Daxos your only [[Soul Warden]] effect or am I missing them?

If I don't have others in there, that's a goof on me 😂
