Holo Shield (Blue)
Ward X, where X is 2 if this has a holo counter. Otherwise, X is 1.
Rulings
From the Omens of the Third Age release notes
- If you destroy Flicker Reality by applying its Ward effect to reduce the damage of a single damage event, you will not be able to put a holo counter from its triggered effect on Holo Shield in time for its Ward 1 value to change to Ward 4/3/2 and apply it to that same damage event. This is because you will add Flicker Reality’s triggered effect to the stack the next time effects can be added to the stack (typically before players receive priority), which is after the damage has already been finalized and dealt.
Keyword notes
Ward X - If your hero would be dealt damage, prevent X of that damage and destroy this.
- Ward is a static ability that generates a fixed-prevention effect.
- The prevention effect is not optional. It applies whenever damage would be dealt to your hero.
- If another prevention effect reduces a damage event to 0, the replacement condition is no longer met (damage would not be dealt), so Ward would not apply.
- The prevention amount applies to a single damage event. The leftover prevention amount does not apply to any future damage that would be dealt to your hero.
- If the damage prevention can not be applied due to an effect, the object with Ward on it is still destroyed as part of the replacement effect application.
