Felidar Guardian + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
Overview
When Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker taps to create a token copy of Felidar Guardian, that token enters as a copy of the Felidar Guardian and has haste and the delayed sacrifice at end step per Kiki-Jiki’s ability and . The token’s enter-the-battlefield trigger can exile and return another permanent you control (including the original Felidar Guardian or Kiki-Jiki). If a creature token is exiled by Felidar Guardian’s ability, it ceases to exist and won’t return [Ruling [2017-02-09]]. If a non-token creature later becomes a copy of that token, it will copy the underlying creature card the token is copying (and gain haste), and it won’t be sacrificed at end step because that sacrifice instruction only applied to the token created by Kiki-Jiki [Ruling [2021-03-19]] .
Step 1
Have Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Felidar Guardian on the battlefield and Kiki-Jiki untapped (Felidar Guardian is nonlegendary so Kiki-Jiki can target it).
Step 2
Activate Kiki-Jiki’s 
ability targeting the Felidar Guardian. The ability creates a token that is a copy of that nonlegendary creature and that token has haste and a delayed sacrifice at the beginning of the next end step .
ability targeting the Felidar Guardian. The ability creates a token that is a copy of that nonlegendary creature and that token has haste and a delayed sacrifice at the beginning of the next end step .Step 3
The token enters the battlefield. The token is a copy of the Felidar Guardian (copiable values become the copied information) and its enter-the-battlefield triggered ability triggers .
Step 4
When that triggered ability resolves you may exile another target permanent you control, then return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control (this is Felidar Guardian’s ETB effect). You can choose to target the original Felidar Guardian, Kiki-Jiki, or a different permanent, provided each is a legal target.
Step 5
If the ETB exiles a creature token (for example, if the returned Felidar later targets the token), that token will cease to exist and will not return to the battlefield [Ruling [2017-02-09]].
Step 6
If a non-token creature later becomes a copy of the token (for example, by a copy effect that makes a permanent copy of that token), that creature will become a copy of the creature card the token is copying (and will gain haste), and it will not inherit the original token’s delayed-sacrifice instruction from Kiki-Jiki [Ruling [2021-03-19]] .
Step 7
Remember that a creature can only activate an ability with a tap symbol if it has been under your control continuously since your most recent turn began; creatures that have left and re-entered the battlefield are new objects and generally can’t be tapped that same turn to use such abilities unless they have haste and the timing conditions in the haste rule apply .
Resolution
Kiki-Jiki can make a token copy of Felidar Guardian; that token entering the battlefield will trigger Felidar Guardian’s ETB and may exile/return another permanent you control. If that ETB exiles a creature token, the token is removed from the game and will not return [Ruling [2017-02-09]]. Copies are governed by the copy rules , and a later non-token creature that becomes a copy of the token will copy the creature card the token copied (gain haste) and will not inherit the original token’s delayed-sacrifice instruction [Ruling [2021-03-19]]. Note that you can only activate a tap ability if the creature has been under your control continuously since your turn began .
