| + | * This card's [[ongoing effect]] ''sets'' the [[mana cost]] of all minion cards in its controller's hand to 1, regardless of the original mana cost of those cards. This includes 0-Cost minions (such as [[Wisp]] and [[Target Dummy]]), which will thus have their mana cost ''increased'' from 0 to 1. |
||
| − | * Aviana's effect functions as an ongoing effect. If she is removed, the effect will also be removed from all affected minions. |
||
| + | * This card's effect follows the general rule that multiple cost modifications take effect in order of play: for additional details, see [[Mana cost]]. |
||
| − | * Aviana's effect grants a [[modify cost|cost modification]] effect to all eligible cards, upon coming into play. This works like multiple [[enchantment]]s - 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 [[aura]]s - 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. |
||
| − | * 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).<ref>Tested by PattuX and Patashu, 23rd January 2016. Video hopefully forthcoming...</ref> |
||
| − | ** 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.<ref>Tested by PattuX and Patashu, 23rd January 2016. Video hopefully forthcoming...</ref> |
||
| − | * [[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.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8VPUi5AqtY Tested in [[Patch 4.0.0.10833]] (LoE patch)</ref> |

| + | Aviana's extremely low stats is made up by her potentially massive cost reduction effect. If left standing, the player can dump out many big minions in a single turn. However, her low Health and high upfront cost makes this situation uncommon. This can be avoided with [[Emperor Thaurissan]], which causes all cost-reduced minions to be played for 0 mana. If played as a [[control deck|control]] value card, keep her protected behind a [[Taunt]] minion if possible. |

| − | 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 [[Taunt]]s and [[Kel'Thuzad]]. |
||
| + | Aviana is best combined with [[Kun the Forgotten King]], who can restore all the mana spent playing Aviana and allows you to follow it up with other minions on the same turn. Aviana and Kun are essential cards in combo-based decks for this reason, allowing many different kinds of combos to be performed, such as summoning multiple copies of [[Malygos]] with [[Faceless Manipulator]] and [[Ixlid, Fungal Lord]] and deal direct spell damage with [[Moonfire]] and [[Living Roots]], easy one-turn [[Star Aligner]] setups for massive AoE damage, or guaranteed permanent deck swapping with [[King Togwaggle]] and [[Azalina Soulthief]]. Since Aviana costs 10 Mana, this combo will require [[Innervate]] or other cost-reduction effects. |
||
| − | 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. |

Notes
- This card's ongoing effect sets the mana cost of all minion cards in its controller's hand to 1, regardless of the original mana cost of those cards. This includes 0-Cost minions (such as
Wisp and 
Target Dummy), which will thus have their mana cost increased from 0 to 1. - This card's effect follows the general rule that multiple cost modifications take effect in order of play: for additional details, see Mana cost.
Strategy
Aviana's extremely low stats is made up by her potentially massive cost reduction effect. If left standing, the player can dump out many big minions in a single turn. However, her low Health and high upfront cost makes this situation uncommon. This can be avoided with 
Emperor Thaurissan, which causes all cost-reduced minions to be played for 0 mana. If played as a control value card, keep her protected behind a Taunt minion if possible.
Aviana is best combined with 
Kun the Forgotten King, who can restore all the mana spent playing Aviana and allows you to follow it up with other minions on the same turn. Aviana and Kun are essential cards in combo-based decks for this reason, allowing many different kinds of combos to be performed, such as summoning multiple copies of Malygos with Faceless Manipulator and 
Ixlid, Fungal Lord and deal direct spell damage with Moonfire and Living Roots, easy one-turn 
Star Aligner setups for massive AoE damage, or guaranteed permanent deck swapping with King Togwaggle and 
Azalina Soulthief. Since Aviana costs 10 Mana, this combo will require Innervate or other cost-reduction effects.

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.
This is the original, uncorrupted version of Duskfallen Aviana.
