Seal from Existence rulings
Seal from Existence’s last ability creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the permanent when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to the battlefield immediately after Seal from Existence leaves the battlefield.
If Seal from Existence leaves the battlefield before its last ability resolves, the target permanent won’t be exiled.
Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Equipment attached to an exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.
If a token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won’t be returned to the battlefield.
In a multiplayer game, if Seal from Existence’s owner leaves the game, the exiled card will return to the battlefield. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn’t an ability that goes on the stack, it won’t cease to exist along with the leaving player’s spells and abilities on the stack.

Ward Rule 702.21
Ward is a triggered ability. Ward [cost] means “Whenever this permanent becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter that spell or ability unless that player pays [cost].”
Some ward abilities include an X in their cost and state what X is equal to. This value is determined at the time the ability resolves, not locked in as the ability triggers.
