Not super easy, actually. It gives your other creatures that ward as well, so losing 10% of your life every time you target something against a red deck adds up.
Nowhere to run is legal though, so hopefully that can counter it if it becomes a problem.
But this is going to be targeted immediately. Best case scenario, you end equal in cards and lose just 2 lifes to it. If the cost were mana, the tempo would make it harder to remove.
