Lucky Offering destroys an artifact and gains you life equal to its mana value — all for one white mana at instant speed. Will, Scion of Peace turns that life gain into cost reduction, making this a removal spell that also fuels your engine.

Will, Scion of Peace
Will, Scion of Peace reduces spell costs based on life gained each turn, so Lucky Offering does double duty — it removes a troublesome artifact and immediately discounts your next play, sometimes down to zero.

In Commander, Lucky Offering is a role-player in life-gain decks, not a staple — one mana for instant-speed artifact removal is genuinely good, but the life gain is conditional on the artifact's mana value, which means it ranges from two life on a Mana Crypt to zero on a Tormod's Crypt. In Pauper, one-mana removal at instant speed is more scarce and Lucky Offering earns real consideration there, particularly against artifact-heavy shells. Modern and Pioneer have enough efficient artifact removal that Lucky Offering doesn't crack most sideboards, but the floor is never zero — one mana instant is hard to completely dismiss.
