How Does Aurelia Work with isshin?

Asked by DemonDragonJ 3 weeks ago

If a player controls both Aurelia, the Warleader and Isshin, Two Heavens as One and then attacks with Aurelia, what shall happen? How many additional combat phases will that player have?

They get two additional combat phases, but the timing of the untaps means it's a little tricky to make the most of both of them.

Let's say the player has the two triggers resolve in the order Trigger A then Trigger B. As Trigger A resolves, they untap all their creatures, then insert Additional Combat A into the turn order right after the current combat. As Trigger B resolves, they untap all their creatures and insert Additional Combat B into the turn order right after the current combat. So after the current combat, Additional Combat B will occur first, followed directly by Additional Combat A. However, there won't be another untap between B and A. That part of the effect is already over and done with. So only creatures with vigilance, creatures that didn't tap to attack during B, or who can be untapped by some other means will be able to attack during A.
