Legion’s Initiative<\/a> during the end of combat step. <\/p>\nDeciding that not enough blood has been spilled on your opponent\u2019s behalf, you activate the ability on Legion’s Initiative. Aurelia and her White Knight disappear from the battlefield. Quiet stands.<\/p>\n
As soon as the game leaves this particular combat phase, it remembers that another combat phase has been inserted, so it moves into that combat phase; more specifically, it moves into the beginning of combat step.<\/p>\n
Oh! What\u2019s this? Legion\u2019s Initiative\u2019s ability returns your creature during the next beginning of combat? Why, we\u2019re here already! Aurelia and White Knight return with Haste. You, being a good player, decide that hasty creatures are meant to attack. And you do so. <\/p>\n
As soon as you finish deciding that you want to attack with both of your creatures, Aurelia charges, and wonders, \u201cHey, is this the first time I’ve attacked this turn?\u201d and decides, \u201cWhy yes, it is the first time I’ve attacked.\u201d And she triggers.<\/p>\n
Your opponent thinks differently, \u201cYOU’VE DONE THIS ALREADY!\u201d<\/p>\n
The game of Magic(tm) has a very short term memory when it comes to the history of cards. As soon as the cards change zones, and comes back onto the battlefield, they\u2019re treated as -two- different entities, two completely different objects from each other. <\/p>\n
Aurelia giggles evily, and gets to smash in one more time after this one, providing that you can\u2019t find another way of \u201cblinking\u201d her again.<\/p>\n

Imagine. Aurelia and her trusty attack.
