Greetings! I'm a little confused by the wording of harbringers of war.
Until the game ends, equipping Followers and Items from your hand with a base Gold Cost of 1 to 4 is a Battle/Open action for you and, after the first time each turn you do so, draw a card.
If i use my low market to attach a follower with base gold cost of 4, do i get do draw a card? Or do i only get to draw a card if i attach it as an open/battle action? How about for cards such as Kensai blade, which i attach as a reaction?

Low Market is not equipping. Kensai Blade is not equipping.
Note that the wording of Harbingers of War isn't the same of Glory of the Shogun, which works after attaching. Harbingers of War requires you to equip from the hand, which means that you have to do it using the Equip ability from the rulebook, that you may use as a Battle/Open action thanks to Harbingers of War's text.

So attaching by any 3rd party such as Shinjo Itao, Yoritomo Akuhiko, and a lot of others wont trigger the draw since its not equipping. Am i right to understand that this card just checks for the equip action? And that the person who equips will still draw a card even if it fails?
For example: Player A: Sneak/Naval Equip - PLayer B: Entrenched position. Player A still draws a card?
Thank you.
