What it does
Ward 2 (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays {2}.)
Whenever you cast an artifact spell, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2022-02-18
If a player casts a spell that targets multiple permanents their opponent controls with ward, each of those ward abilities will trigger. If that player doesn't pay for all of them, the spell will be countered.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
