Gold-Forged Thopteryx
Artifact Creature — Dinosaur Thopter
Flying, lifelink
Each legendary permanent you control has ward 
. (Whenever it becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays .)
Worlds apart, Huatli built a device Saheeli would have been proud of.

Rulings
Once a ward ability has triggered, causing that legendary permanent to lose ward by removing Gold-Forged Thopteryx won't affect that ability. The appropriate player will still have to pay {2} or see their spell or ability countered.
