Ward - Sacrifice a nontoken permanent

Permanents you cast can't be countered unless that player pays {3}. If they do, target creature gets your choice of X +1/+1 counters or this card deals X damage, where X is equal to the converted mana cost of the countered spell.

{w}{r/g}, Tap target creature, it then gets +2/+2 until the end of your next turn.
