How does Ward work in Magic The Gathering?
In MTG, Ward is a keyword ability that acts like a shield for your creatures. When a creature with Ward becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, that opponent must pay an additional cost or the spell/ability doesn't affect the creature. The cost could be mana or something else, depending on what's specified after 'Ward' on the card. Super useful for keeping your creatures safe from your opponent's pesky removal spells!

Honestly, Ward can be overrated. It's good for protection, but smart players get around it. Just make sure you're not relying on it too much.
Ward in Magic The Gathering? It's like your creatures have an annoying toll booth. Opponents gotta pay up with extra mana (or whatever the ward cost is) to target them with spells or abilities. If they can't or won't pay, their spell fizzles out. Simple and sweet protection!
