So, I pulled Onyxia from a pack about 2 weeks ago. I haven't really used it and I have been playing some combo/token Druid. I feel like onyxia can fit, but I don't know what I would take out to make it work, or if it would even work. What do you guys think?
Main reason is that you have many 4 drops and Violet Teacher needs some time to develop tokens. Otherwise go for -1 Living Roots.
P.S. Keep in mind that Onyxia is a liability against Frothing Patron Warrior and maybe a bit useless against Dragon Priest (Holy Nova+Shadow Word: Death= 8 mana clear).
There is the "it's too slow" argument and then there is TOO DAMN SLOW argument. Onyxia is too slow for a token deck, you will need 9 turn (assuming without mana acceleration) to play her and then use her tokens for something when you are at turn 10. Token decks generally build on establishing a board early and then buffing their tokens, with Onyxia you will need to either stall or expect not to use her in the same game you drew her early.
Edit: perfect if you want token, but if you put anything to try and get her out early other than Emperor Thaurissan you will be weakening your token deck.
If you look closely, you can see this is a signature and not a comment. Why are you reading? Stop reading this. Did you read this too? Dang you must like reading.
Well, I might just try out taking out a violet teacher and subbing in Onyxia and then trying out subtracting another for emperor. I just feel like it might be fun to drop Onyxia and then next turn buff the hell out of her with power or savage roar and let them go to work

It could work, but it'd take 2 turns to combo it with Savage Roar vs 1 turn with the Force of Nature combo.
First you need to post your deck so other H-pwners can review and make suggestions.
Second i think that Onyxia can fit in a token Druid.

The Best option here is to go -2 Violet Teacher, -1 Living Roots, +1 Onyxia +1 Emperor Thaurissan +1 Force of Nature. More chance for combo surprise attack, better ramp and unexpected board presence with much tokens and a big threat.
For minor change I would go for -1 Violet Teacher +1 Onyxia.
