Rulings
If a player casts a spell that targets multiple permanents their opponent controls with ward, each of those ward abilities will trigger. If that player doesn't pay for all of them, the spell will be countered.
Purple Worm's first ability will never reduce its cost more than {2}, no matter how many creatures died this turn.
