Vigilance
Whenever you draw your second card each turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
After Smaug fell, Bard took the lead with the hard task of governing and protecting the people. Most would have perished in the winter that now hurried if help had not been to hand.

Ruling (1)
- The triggered ability can trigger only once each turn. It doesn't matter whether Lakeshore Apothecary was on the battlefield when the first card was drawn. If it'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.
