Pick-Two
Your second draw each turn gives a counter and temporary lifelink to a target creature; later draws that turn do not repeat it.
Sealed vs Draft
Count ways to draw at least twice in a turn, including recruit and loot effects.
Two-Headed Giant
Only your second draw triggers Bard. His counter and lifelink can target your teammate’s creature, because the target is not restricted to one you control.
