Legendary Creature — Dwarf Bard
Storied (If you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an enduring story for the rest of the game.)

As long as you have an enduring story, if an ability of a Dwarf you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.

Strategy
Bifur is a midrange commander that rewards you for playing a diverse deck full of artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas. Once you unlock his Storied ability—which happens naturally as you build out your game—he becomes a force multiplier for your Dwarf creatures' triggered abilities. His enters-and-attacks trigger gives you steady +1/+1 counter pressure, while the ability doubling effect turns any Dwarf with a trigger into a value engine.
The core gameplan is to fill your deck with artifact creatures, Saga enchantments, and legendary permanents to quickly hit Storied status, then lean into Dwarf synergies and triggered abilities. Cards like Goblin Traprunner and other Dwarves with combat or ability triggers will go into overdrive. You're looking to build a grindy midrange deck that outvalues opponents through card advantage and repeated triggers while Bifur pumps your team.
