Dragon Nest

**Dragon Nest** is one of the Building cards in Minion Masters.

Has Placement Aura - a mechanic that limits the placement of the building too close to the edges of the arena. This is done to prevent the building from being placed in a safe spot behind the master tower, thus making it untouchable by minions attacking regularly.

## Notes

Can not be obtained through random effects such as Draft, Future Present or Future Past.
