Ward {2}

If a creature would enter under your control, you may pay {X}. If you do, scry X, you gain X life and that creature enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it.

{T}: Exile another target creature you control. For as long as that card remains exiled, at the beginning of your upkeep, you may return a creature exiled this way to the battlefield under your control.
