Gameplay

Artifact Creature — Construct

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.

It dwells happily near the ever-burning forges of Sokenzan City, crafting small things of beauty from discarded scraps.

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.
