Isshin ringbearer clarification
Isshin two heavens as one copies attack triggers. The Ringbearer ability at rank 2 reads “when your ringbearer attacks,” you loot. It actually shows this rulestext when you hover over the creature marked as a bearer. Meaning they are a permanent you control with an attack trigger ability. Therefore, a ringbearer attacking with isshin on your field should draw and discard twice-not once.
In a recent game, with isshin in play and my ring rank at 2, I attacked and only triggered this ability once. This bug needs to be fixed.

The Ring is an emblem, not a permanent. And so the attack trigger does not come from a permanent, thus not fulfilling Isshin's condition.
701.52c If a player doesn’t have an emblem named The Ring at the time the Ring tempts them, they
get an emblem named The Ring before choosing a creature to be their Ring-bearer. The Ring
has “Your Ring-bearer is legendary and can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power.” As
long as the Ring has tempted that player two or more times, it has “Whenever your Ring-bearer
attacks, draw a card, then discard a card.” As long as the Ring has tempted that player three or
more times, it has “Whenever your Ring-bearer becomes blocked by a creature, the blocking
creature’s controller sacrifices it at end of combat.” As long as the Ring has tempted that player
four or more times, it has “Whenever your Ring-bearer deals combat damage to a player, each
opponent loses 3 life.”
