Ward N

A tax on targeted interaction. An enemy spell or ability targeting this unit costs N additional mana to cast. If the opponent can't pay, the spell or ability does not resolve. Ward does not block non-targeted effects or combat damage.

A unit with Ward N cannot be targeted by a spell or ability unless its controller pays N additional mana.
