Double attack triggers interaction with Guiltfeeder

Asked by Eldrazi_Nugget 2 years ago

With the ability of the new legendary Isshin, Two Heavens as One or Wulfgar of Icewind Dale, how to they interact with a card like Guiltfeeder? From what I understand, the attack triggers will trigger in the declare attackers step, before the declare blockers step. Guiltfeeder triggers on attack but after no blockers are assigned? Will it double the effect if no blockers are declared?

Here's the ruling from Gatherer:

An ability that triggers when something “attacks and isn’t blocked” triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.

So since the trigger isn't caused by the creature being declared as a blocker, it won't be doubled up by Isshin or Wulfgar
