Bifur, Melodic Rider

Legendary Creature — Dwarf Bard · {4}{R/W}{R/W} · Red/White commander

Storied (If you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an enduring story for the rest of the game.) Whenever Bifur enters or attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. As long as you have an enduring story, if an ability of a Dwarf you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.
