** Example: [[Emperor Thaurissan]]'s effect triggers, reducing the cost of an in-hand [[War Golem]] to 6. Aviana then comes into play; her effect immediately reduces the War Golem card's cost to 1. At the end of that turn, Emperor Thaurissan triggers again, reducing the War Golem's cost to 0. |

Notes
- Aviana's effect functions as an ongoing effect. If she is removed, the effect will also be removed from all affected minions.
- Aviana's effect applies to all minions, including 0-cost minions such as
Wisp, in this case increasing their cost to 1 mana. - Aviana's effect grants a cost modification effect to all eligible cards, upon coming into play. This works like multiple enchantments - cost modifications which were in place before Aviana's effect will have higher priority, while those which come into effect after Aviana's will have lower priority. (Note that this works differently from Health/Attack enchantments and auras - for those, auras always process after enchantments regardless of play order. But for mana cost, enchantments and auras have no special priority over one another.)
- Example:
Emperor Thaurissan's effect triggers, reducing the cost of an in-hand War Golem to 6. Aviana then comes into play; her effect immediately reduces the War Golem card's cost to 1. At the end of that turn, Emperor Thaurissan triggers again, reducing the War Golem's cost to 0.
- Example:
- Cards that discount their mana cost by applying an aura to themselves, such as
Molten Giant and Volcanic Drake, cannot reduce their cost after having it set to 1 by Aviana, unless their play order timestamp is newer than the Aviana (such as by playing Aviana, playing Molten Giant and bouncing Molten Giant back into your hand).[1]
- Conversely, cards that discount their mana cost using a triggered effect (currently only Knight of the Wild) work like Emperor Thaurissan - triggers after Aviana entered play discount the cost, triggers before are overridden by the Aviana effect.[2]
- Conversely, cards that discount their mana cost using a triggered effect (currently only
- Naga Sea Witch and Aviana's effects are processed in the same order they were played in - the more recent effect overrides the less recent one.[3]
Strategy
Possible (and obvious) combinations with Innervate, in the event you have drawn them at the end of the game, when they are not that useful besides Combo / double Combo decks. Innervate will be more applicable in control oriented druid decks even in the late game, due to Aviana's ability. Synergy with Emperor Thaurissan, especially as Emperor already sees play in druid decks; excellent synergy with big Taunts and 
Kel'Thuzad.
One of the combos you can pull is an OTK with Aviana, Malygos, Innervate, 2x Faceless Manipulator and 2x Moonfire for a whooping 32 damage in a single turn, usually enough to end the game. However, this requires a perfect hand, and since Aviana is a soft taunt, she will probably not last another turn if you are missing one of the cards.

Lore
This section uses content from Wowpedia.- Aviana is a winged demigoddess and mistress of the Mother Tree, G'Hanir. She was killed in the War of the Ancients but was resurrected during Ragnaros' siege on Mount Hyjal.
- Swift and ruthless, Aviana personifies the capricious nature of the winds, and her children are no different.
- Ten thousand years after her death, Deathwing the Destroyer returned to Azeroth from Deepholme. Under his command the fire elementals of Ragnaros marched upon Mount Hyjal, to make way for the Firelord himself to set fire to the World Tree Nordrassil. During their siege adventurers were called from across Azeroth to assist in the mountain's defense. One of the tasks assigned to them was to assist in the resurrection of the demigods, one of whom was Aviana. Besides resurrecting her, Adventurers were also assigned to destroy her fallen children, the harpies, who were attacking their mother's shrine. When all was done however the mighty Demigod of the Sky was reborn and Aviana returned to the world to help repel the invading Fire Elementals and to send Ragnaros back to the Firelands.
