If Vren would leave the battlefield at the same time as one or more creatures an opponent controls would die, those creatures will still be exiled.

Cards that would go to your opponent's graveyard for reasons other than dying, such as being discarded or milled, will still go to the graveyard and will not be exiled instead.

Vren's last ability counts any creatures your opponents controlled that were exiled this turn, including creature tokens.

Vren, the Relentless keyword rules

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.
