When you have two Aurora triggers and the first one hits a unit, does the unit resolve immediately between the two Aurora triggers, or do both Aurora triggers fully resolve before the unit is played?

Answer

Ruling: When Aurora's second trigger resolves and hits a unit, the unit becomes pending during that trigger's resolution. In the cleanup after the trigger, the unit immediately resolves and is played. Any when-you-play-me (WYPM) effects go on the chain on top of Aurora's first trigger. After those WYPM effects resolve, Aurora's first trigger resolves.

Sequence:

  • Aurora trigger 2 resolves and reveals a unit
  • Unit becomes pending during the trigger
  • In cleanup after the trigger, the unit immediately resolves and is played
  • Any WYPM effects from the unit go on the chain on top of Aurora trigger 1
  • WYPM effects resolve
  • Aurora trigger 1 resolves

Nuances:

  • If the first Aurora hits a Deadbloom and starts a showdown, that showdown waits for both Aurora triggers to resolve before initiating
  • If you hit a second Deadbloom from the second Aurora, you cannot play a unit next to it because you don't control the battlefield (it's contested), unless you hit a second predator in which case the battlefield is still an occupied enemy battlefield
