Scars of the Veteran

Instant, 4W (5)
You may remove a white card in your hand from the game rather than pay Scars of the Veteran's mana cost.
Prevent the next 7 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn. For each 1 damage to a creature prevented this way, put a +0/+1 counter on that creature at end of turn.¹
