Thieves' Auction Rulings
- Aug 1, 2005
If you choose an Aura, you can put it on any permanent it can legally enchant. If there is nothing it can legally enchant, it remains exiled, and it can still be chosen by you or another player later in the auction. If there comes a point where only Auras and no legal permanents left, they stay exiled permanently.

An Aura put onto the battlefield this way does not target the permanent it is placed upon.
