Dazzling Aurora flips Elder Dragon — a free 10-Might body and one kill per location

2 cards · body · verified

Pieces

• Dazzling Aurora ×1 OGN-160 · engine · body

  At the end of your turn, reveal cards from the top of your Main Deck until you reveal a unit and banish it. Play it, ignoring its cost, and recycle the rest.

• Elder Dragon ×1 UNL-118 · payoff · body

  Any amount of your damage is enough to kill enemy units. When you play me, choose up to one enemy unit at each location. Deal 1 to them.

Payoff

Deck

• Legend domains cover Body (both cards are Body).

Prerequisites

• Aurora fires every end of turn while it survives: a free unit each turn, and whenever the revealed unit is Elder Dragon, one enemy unit dies at every location. Deck-building lever: the fewer non-Dragon units in the deck, the more often the flip is a Dragon.
• Elder Dragon's trigger is on play, so it repeats only if he returns to the deck; the engine's steady output is the free unit, the wipe is the jackpot.
• Elder Dragon chooses his targets, so Deflect costs a rainbow Power to get through. Payable: Aurora fires in the Ending Step (317.1, "At the end of the turn Game Effects take place") and the Rune Pool only empties two steps later at 317.2.d, and 164.2.b's Power ability is "Recycle this" with no exhaust in its cost, so ANY rune still on the board pays it - it need not be ready. CORRECTED 2026-09-04: the entry used to say the reveal can Burn Out if the deck runs out of units, citing 431.1.c. That rule says the opposite - you reveal as many as possible and DO NOT Burn Out - and 431.1.c.1 adds that further instructions are then simply ignored, "even if those instructions would cause those cards to change zones". Thinning the deck to raise the Dragon hit rate costs nothing.
• THE STATIC HALF IS A DIFFERENT CARD'S JOB, and it is now catalogued separately. 'One kill per location, not a board wipe' above is about the ON-PLAY trigger and it stands. Elder Dragon's other sentence - 'Any amount of your damage is enough to kill enemy units' - turns any mass damage of yours into a wipe, and OGN-133 Flurry of Blades (Body, 1 Energy, [Reaction], 'Deal 1 to all units at battlefields') is the card in the pool and in domain that supplies it. See elder-dragon-flurry-of-blades-wipe.
• 424.1.a.2 is the MECHANISM under the 431.1.c protection this entry already cites, and the entry carries the consequence without it: "Cards remain in the zone they are being Revealed from." Riot's own example is that a card Revealed from the top of the Main Deck "is still the top card of that player's Main Deck." So revealing can never Burn Out because NOTHING LEAVES THE DECK, which 424.1.a states as the general fact: "Revealed is a temporary state and is not a zone." Same shape this file records for 355.7 against 355.10.d and 811.6 against the tail of 811.1.b.

Steps

1. Resolve Aurora at the end of your turn: reveal until a unit, banish it, play it for free, recycle the rest.
2. If it is Elder Dragon: deal 1 to up to one enemy unit at each location and, because any amount of his damage kills, each chosen unit dies — at most three in a 1v1 (two battlefields plus the enemy base, 198.1 / 485.4), one per location, not a sweep.
3. Next turn, Aurora fires again: Direwing (enters ready with another Dragon) or Gentle Gemdragon (readies 2 runes per Dragon played) keep the pressure up.

How it ends

engine only — a free unit every end of turn; when it hits Elder Dragon, one enemy unit dies at each location, up to three in a 1v1
