Card text
Legendary Creature — Human Archer
Reach
Whenever you draw your second card each turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It gains lifelink until end of turn.
No one had dared to face the Dragon for many an age; nor would they have dared now, if it hadn't been for the grim-voiced Bard urging them on.

Rulings (2)
The triggered ability can trigger only once each turn. It doesn't matter whether Bard the Bowman was on the battlefield when the first card was drawn. If he's not on the battlefield when the second card is drawn, the ability can't trigger at all that turn. It won't trigger when the third or fourth card is drawn.
If you draw your second card in a turn while recruiting, the Human Soldier you create can be chosen as the target of Bard the Bowman's ability.
