Does this combo work?
Asked by zephramtripp 8 years ago
Aurelia, the Warleader + Blade of Selves + Leonin Shikari + Puresteel Paladin + two miscellaneous artifacts for infinite attack steps? Or will I need Mirror Gallery?

There are a couple issues here. Yes, without Mirror Gallery the legend rule will send every Aurelia, the Warleader but one into the graveyard right after the other ones enter the battlefield before you have a chance to respond.
Both Aurelia, the Warleader and Blade of Selves trigger when they are declared as attackers, not when they are attacking. Moving Blade of Selves around before the tokens exile themselves won't accomplish anything, and having copies of Aurelia, the Warleader enter the battlefield tapped and attacking doesn't add any additional combat steps. The copies don't survive to the next combat phase so no other Aurelia, the Warleaders will have an opportunity to declare attack and trigger.
From Gatherer:
If Aurelia is put onto the battlefield attacking, the triggered ability won't trigger.

First thing: The tokens put onto the battlefield with Blade of Selves don't count as being declared as an attacker, so any "When ... attacks" effects won't trigger. Otherwise, Myriad would go infinite with itself, and that would be bad. So no, that would not work.
