Set Mechanics
Magecraft is an ability word that highlights triggered abilities that give you some sort of benefit whenever you cast—or copy—an instant or sorcery spell. So, you cast a sorcery spell. +1/+0. Then, in response, you cast an instant spell that will copy the sorcery. +1/+0. The instant spell resolves and copies the sorcery. +1/+0.

Whenever a permanent with ward becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter that spell or ability unless that opponent pays whatever cost is after the word "ward." That cost can be mana, life, or pretty much anything else that can be a cost.

Specifically, the cycle of spells in the Strixhaven main set with "Mastery" in the name. These spells let you pay a cheaper alternative cost for a spell, but give an opponent an advantage if you do.

The Zendikar Rising set features an exciting new take on this concept with modal double-faced cards: they don't transform, but instead you can play either face right away!
