Innkeeper's Talent

At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.

{g}: Level 2
Permanents you control with counters on them
have ward {1}.

{3}{g}: Level 3
If you would put one or more counters on a permanent or player, put twice that many of each of those kinds of counters on that permanent or player instead.
