I used a little scripting coding to change the hover-over picture for Seize the Innitiative to match the card Cloudshift as that is the card needed for this (leeched from MTGMintCard.com).
This combo works with any 'blink' effect that says to return the card to the battlefield under Your control. If it says it's owners control it will not work as desired. See also Ghostly Flicker.

- Note, this doesn't work With Momentary Blink as that one says to return it to the battlefield under its Owner's Control


Cast Act of Aggression on an opponent's creature. Before you return it to them at the end of the turn, cast the 'blink' effect of choice. Whenever a card changes zones it loses all memory of it's previous state and returns as a new object. Because of this and the fact that the 'blink' returns it to Your control, it will not leave your control again unless someone takes it from you, even when the turn ends!

Momentary Blink won't work, as it will be returned to the battlefield under its owner's control. Ghostly Flicker works perfectly though. Bazaar Trader also works with Act of Treason et al., but does so in a different way.
