I tried to make this deck as budget as I could. Of course the two Star Aligners cost a bit but you get one free on November 2nd so why not try having some fun with it!

The general strategy has been updated! Please see below:

Try to ramp up your mana as quickly as possible with Wild Growth and Nourish. Also try to draw Spreading Plague and Strongshell Scavenger as soon as possible using cards such as Ferocious Howl, Wrath, Nourish and Starfire all while staying alive. In the meantime, with the amount of Aggro decks out there, your opponent should have a sizeable board for you to use Spreading Plague and Strongshell Scavenger when you have 10 mana. Your Scarab Beetles should now have 3 attack and 7 health each. After your opponent tries to clear them you should hopefully have at least two Scarab Beetles left untouched. This is where you drop Star Aligner and deal 7 damage to your opponent's minions and hero. Just in case your Scarab Beetles aren't left untouched and you don't have a couple left over at full 7 health, I've included Fungal Enchanter to provide them with the necessary healing.

Alternative strategies involve using Mechanical Whelp and Lesser Jasper Spellstone to create a 7/7 Mechanical Dragon which you can clone with Gloop Sprayer. You can also use Gloop Sprayer to clone a buffed 3/7 Scarab Beetle, and then drop Star Aligner the next turn. Again Fungal Enchanter can heal them if they get damaged before dropping Star Aligner.

Just in case you only have one 3/7 Scarab Beetle left after your opponent's onslaught, I've included Barkskin and Shieldbearer. Using Barkskin + Shieldbearer and only one 3/7 Scarab Beetle left on the board (or some other 7 health minion) allows you to drop Star Aligner in a single turn, thus leaving your opponent seeing stars. :) 

I also included Youthful Brewmaster so that you can return Star Aligner to your hand and then use him again hopefully if your 7 health minions are still on the board.

Another key interaction is Barkskin + Gloop Sprayer. Basically Barkskin makes Gloop Sprayer another 7 health minion that Star Aligner can make use of!

With this deck being so budgeted down, there are of course a lot of improvements that you can make. Hopefully this deck proves to a good fun deck for the beginner.
