Hi,

Close to a week ago I asked about Cowardly Rabble and haven't gotten an answer. My question was whether or not Cowardly Rabble that start the battle out of play "know" that two battle actions have been taken, or if the "second battle action" starts when the Rabble enter play.

That is: Battle begins. My opponent takes a battle action. I attach Cowardly Rabble from my hand somehow. My opponent takes another battle action. Does my Rabble go back to my hand on this action since it's objectively the second battle action, or do they stay in play since they don't know that two actions have resolved?

Thanks!
