Rulings

WotCApr 16, 2021
Once a ward ability has triggered, it doesn't matter if the artifact loses ward (most likely because Bronze Guardian leaves the battlefield in response) before the ability resolves. The controller of the spell or ability will still have to pay or the spell or ability will be countered.
WotCApr 16, 2021
The ability that defines Bronze Guardian's power applies in all zones, not only while it is on the battlefield.
