Backup 1 (When this creature enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If that’s another creature, it gains the following ability until end of turn.)
Double strike
"Hold nothing back, my friends. Tonight we feast in Starnheim!"
The abilities that backup grants to the target creature are determined only once, at the time the ability triggers. They won’t change if the permanent with backup loses any abilities before the backup ability resolves.

If a backup ability targets the creature with backup, that creature will get +1/+1 counters, but it won’t gain additional abilities.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
