When a unit played by Dazzling Aurora dies, does it go to the discard pile or the banish zone?

Ruling: The unit goes to the discard pile (trash). Once the unit is played onto the board, it becomes a normal unit with no memory of how it was put into play.

Sequence:

• Dazzling Aurora banishes the card as part of the playing process
• The card is played onto the board as a normal unit
• When the unit dies, it goes to the discard pile like any other unit

Nuances:

• The banish effect is only relevant for rare cases where you can't legally play the card - in those cases it stays in the banish zone
• The banish mechanic during play is purely mechanical and not related to balance or preventing combos
