Thran Power Suit is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

Equipped creature gets +1/+1 for each Aura and Equipment attached to it and has ward. (Whenever equipped creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays
Complete guide
Thran Power Suit is a versatile Equipment that turns any creature into a growing threat that is difficult for opponents to remove. By scaling its power based on how many modifications you've stacked onto your creature, it rewards players who go all-in on a single champion. The added protection ensures your investment doesn't disappear to a single cheap removal spell.
Scaling Power and Toughness
The primary function of Thran Power Suit is to provide a static buff to the equipped creature's power and toughness. It counts itself as an Equipment, meaning the creature will always receive at least +1/+1 as long as the Suit is attached. For every additional Aura or Equipment you attach to that same creature, the bonus increases by +1/+1 for each.
Protective Ward
Beyond raw stats, Thran Power Suit grants the Ward {2} keyword. This is a triggered ability that occurs whenever an opponent targets the equipped creature with a spell or ability. The opponent must pay an additional {2} mana or their effect is countered. This tax applies to every individual targeting attempt, making it very expensive for opponents to interact with your creature.
How to Equip
To attach Thran Power Suit, you pay the Equip cost of {2} during your main phase when the stack is empty. You choose a target creature you control, and upon resolution, the Suit becomes attached. If you attach further Auras or Equipment later, the bonus provided by the Suit updates automatically without needing to re-activate the ability.
Common Mistakes
A common misconception is that the Suit counts all Auras and Equipment you control on the battlefield; it only counts those specifically attached to the creature wearing the Suit. Additionally, Ward only triggers when the creature is targeted; it does not protect against board wipes or non-targeting effects like sacrifice triggers.
Interaction examples
If you equip Thran Power Suit to a 1/1 creature and it has no other attachments, the creature becomes a 2/2 with Ward {2}. This is because the Suit counts itself as one Equipment attached to the creature.
If the equipped creature is also enchanted by two Auras and has one other Equipment attached to it, Thran Power Suit sees four total attachments (itself, the two Auras, and the other Equipment). The creature will receive +4/+4 from the Suit alone, plus any bonuses provided by the other cards.
If an opponent casts a spell like Murder targeting your creature equipped with Thran Power Suit, the Ward {2} ability triggers. The opponent must pay {2} immediately; if they cannot or choose not to, Murder is countered and goes to the graveyard without destroying your creature.
