Words of Worship Turns Niv’s Lifegain Into Cards

Words of Worship can replace a draw with 5 life, which triggers Niv-Mizzet, Ghost Counsel and lets you pay that 5 life to draw five cards. If you spend another mana on Words before that Niv trigger resolves, one of those five draws becomes another 5 life and another Niv trigger while the other four cards are still drawn; the loop can continue only while you can keep paying the activation cost and have cards left to draw.
