What it does
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.

Where it came from
Bard the Bowman, featured as card number 145 in the Middle-earth Collectible Card Game set based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, was released by Iron Crown Enterprises during the mid-1990s. The game was designed to immerse players in the strategic and narrative depth of Tolkien's legendarium, tasking them with navigating the perils of the Lonely Mountain while managing resources and characters.
The artwork for this specific card reflects the fantasy aesthetic prevalent in the decade's trading card market, focusing on the character's pivotal role as the dragonslayer of Lake-town. As part of a line intended to compete with other dominant fantasy card games of the era, the design prioritized thematic fidelity to the source material, and it is remembered today by enthusiasts as a nostalgic piece of 1990s tabletop history.
