Answer

Ruling: If the same unit leaves and returns to the same combat, Mask of Foresight will NOT trigger again. If a different unit enters as the sole defender/attacker, it WILL trigger. If the same unit enters a new combat (after the first combat ends), it WILL trigger again.

Nuances:

  • The ruling is currently ambiguous according to judges, with two possible interpretations of when the "first time each combat" condition is checked
  • If Mask's trigger condition was never fulfilled initially (e.g., multiple defenders present), there's debate about whether moving the same unit out and back in alone could fulfill it
  • A unit that was never alone when it first gained defender/attacker status won't get the trigger by becoming alone later in the same combat
