DarkKiridon, that is a nice card, but it is somewhat conditional, so I am not certain if I would use it.
Poly_raptor, the combo of Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Spike Feeder is too cliche, so I would prefer to avoid it, but Attended Healer is amazing, so I thank you, for suggesting it!
What about Chord of Calling, Shared Summons, or Enduring Vitality? Would any of those cards be good for the type of deck that I am seeking to build?

I like this idea, depending on how you feel about infinite combos you could run Heliod, Sun-Crowned & Spike Feeder
I also like Attended Healer effects here, they would work really well with Cathars' Crusade
Cathedral Acolyte would also work really well for your counters theme.
Look forward to seeing the deck!

Ah okay, I wasn't even seeing the infinite combos but I see them now. I also run Spike Feeder in a Golgari deck for infinite life. That one uses Unspeakable Symbol + Corpsejack Menace or Doubling Season though for the infinite life combo. Your combo seems better since it's just a 2 card combo. Sunbond is interesting, also since it pairs up with the wardens. Maybe add Idyllic Tutor or Enlightened Tutor or Worldly Tutor to search for missing combo pieces. I may try to add Sunbond and some soul sisters to my Golgari deck if I can find the room.

I don't play commander but I love story time! I have a casual deck that plays Spike Feeder for it's ability to sacrifice itself for free. I had never remotely considered the first ability that allows you to move the +1/+1 counters on it to another creature. That is, until a game where the board was locked up on the ground and the only flier was my Birds of Paradise. I re-read Spike Feeder and moved the counters to the BoPs and proceeded to beat down for the win. Let's just not talk about how many turns it took me to figure out that line :).
legendofa, your Scrambleverse story is spectacular! I love those "wait, what just happened?" moments in Magic!

Yup World_Peace summed it up, lifegain just doesn't matter if you have lost on the board.
Inf lifegain combos like Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Spike Feeder are good because many strategies will have no way to deal you enough damage or win before they deck themselves
Timely Reinforcements is a cool lifegain card, usually a sideboard card for if you need to 'buy time' like you said, but you need to have a gameplan that can win with the time you bought.

A card that I would recommend for a deck like this is Trudge Garden since the tokens it produces trigger the lifegain from your commander or other Soul Warden type creatures, giving you another potential activation. You could very quickly build up a large board state over a few turns.
Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn might also be worth considering. Since its ability triggers at the end of opponents' turns too, having Soul Warden and other similar cards on the board means that Lathiel will also grow your creatures in response to all the creatures your opponents play. Lathiel combines really well with Spike Feeder to gain you increasing amounts of life at the end of each person's turn. I don't know if you are purposefully avoiding using infinite combos though, so it should be noted that Spike Feeder combos with Heliod, Sun-Crowned to gain you infinite life.

First, I keep forgetting to mention that you are at 101 cards, so you will need to cut a card. On to the cards I wanted you to keep in mind...
Necropotence and Sensei's Divining Top interact favorably with Bolas's Citadel
Spike Feeder interacts favorably with Archangel of Thune
If you like Felidar Sovereign you may want to consider Test of Endurance

Spike Feeder would be an inexpensive option that would create infinite life-gain and +1/+1 counter combos with Sunbond and Light of Promise. It's also really good in this deck for non-infinite combo reasons.
