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, tap target creature an opponent controls and put a stun counter on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)
You may choose a creature that is already tapped as the target of Frostfist Strider’s last ability.

Stun counters replace untapping for any reason, including players untapping tapped permanents during their untap steps.

If untapping a permanent is part of a cost (such as that of Halo Fountain’s first ability), you may pay that cost by “untapping” a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it. The stun counter will be removed and the creature will remain tapped. However, the cost will still be paid.

If a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it would become untapped, a stun counter will be removed from it instead. This is a replacement effect.

If a permanent has more than one stun counter on it, only one will be removed each time it would become untapped.

Abilities that trigger when a permanent “becomes untapped” won’t trigger if a stun counter is removed instead.
