Manifestation of Miragai (Blue)

This enters the arena with two +1

counters. If a Chi was pitched to play this, instead this enters the arena with four +1

counters.

Ward X, where X is the number of +1

counters on this.

When Manifestation of Miragai resolves on the stack, it will enter the arena with four +1 counters if you pitched a Chi to pay for any of this card’s costs. If you do not, it will enter the arena with just two +1 counters.
Manifestation of Miragai’s Ward ability is continuously checking to see +1 counters it has on its object.
If you were to apply Manifestation of Miragai’s Ward prevention effect to a damage of event, the amount of damage it would reduce would be equal to the number of +1 counters it has when it was destroyed as part of generating its prevention effect.
If Manifestation of Miragai does not have any +1 counters, the value of X is 0. If you would be dealt damage and you would apply a Ward 0 prevention effect to that damage event, you would still destroy the object with the Ward 0 ability and the damage value of the event is not reduced.
To meet the condition “If a Chi was pitched to play this”, you must actively pitch a card with the Chi subtype to play the card. Using (chi points) to pay the resource cost for this does not meet this condition.

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.
