Bayushi Aggushi & Bayushi Janqu Keywords Courtier • Samurai This counts as two cards when destroyed during battle resolution. Tireless Open: If you have targeted Aggushi & Janqu with a Political action this turn, straighten them. Battle, w: Melee 3 Attack.
And
Secret Alliances Text Invest : Before you draw cards at the end of the turn, put this card into your hand from the discard pile. Political Open: Permanently give your target Courtier Expendable and the trait, "After another player's action targets this card, gain 1 Honor."
If you target Bayushi Aggushi & Bayushi Janqu with Secret Alliances giving them expendable, Would you draw 1 card or 2 cards for them being destroyed at battle resolution? as the count as two cards when destroyed during resolution?
Thanks

Expendable is defined thus: After a card with the Expendable keyword is destroyed, the player who controlled it draws a card. “Expendable” status is checked just before being destroyed.
When destroyed during battle resolution, Bayushi Aggushi & Bayushi Janqu counts as two cards. Since "both" cards have Expendable, two cards are drawn.
