Oracle Text
As an additional cost to cast this spell, waterbend {5}. (While paying a waterbend cost, you can tap your artifacts and creatures to help. Each one pays for {1}.)
Flying, ward {2} (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays {2}.)
When this creature enters, scry 2.
Watch Out
ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
