It died when they made Aviana× 1 cost 10 mana instead of 9. Not only ruining the combo because now you needed to an Innervate × 1 to the deck, but it also kind of made Juicy Psychmelon× 1 useless as you could not draw your whole combo almost at once.
I made a few changes to make it work again:
1) First of all I added Innervate × 1 so I can play the Aviana - Kun combo.
2) I made sure Juicy Psychmelon× 1 would draw the 7,8,9 and 10 minions I need for the combo. The only problem is I have 2 10 mana cost minions. No problem, I modiefied the car draw engine in the third major change.
Keep the quest ofcourse, muligan for mana ramp cards, innervate or Brann. Discard the rest, even the combo pieces. Do not worry about getting these combo pieces, the card draw is amazing in this deck. I have it most of the time around turn 10.
I added 1x Platebreaker because Alexstrasza does not remove armor, making it an actual OTK. It does seem alot to pull off but it goes through the deck so smoothly.
Do very little 3 or 4 turns is not a play in wild currently
Not to mention there are better combo decks.
Just a meme deck nowadays.
Yes, but 50% of what I faced this morning were slow Priest decks. It makes playing against resurrect Priest almost fun. The aggro decks I faced (hunter and paladin even pirate rogue) were pretty do able.
how often did you see dirty rat in the meta? even deathlord is a card I havent seen in a while now...
I must say I played against a Higlander Rogue with deathlord and oracle trying to mill some cards but still pulled of the combo. Deathlord pulled out my Aviana and had all combo pices (even Plate Breaker to get rid of the 5 armor of Galakrond) in hand. I was kinda lucky there but indeed not much rats and deathlords.
I really ment to say that .. i love the originality of the deck builders nowadays .. so many cards to choose from , so many new cool and fun ideas .. or just do kun aviana and forget all that

Yeah I understand your problem with Aviana, it is still better than mindless go-to-the-face decks but I see your point. I appreciate your feedback and I really enjoy seeing new decks also. I like the decks posted by Heeljin (Mason Steel), he always has some nice ideas.
14 dmg and you call it OTK....there are so many ways the alexstraza doesnt work. I remember that the old deck could do at least 42 with ease.
It is not about how much damage you can do. OTK stands for one turn kill and that's what it does. And yes there are situations the OTK does not work (Ice Block, or Ice Barrier for instance), but that's with so many OTK decks.
PS it is exact 15 damage including the weapon attack from Medivh.
Here is the deck and guide below:
Remember this deck:
It died when they made Aviana × 1 cost 10 mana instead of 9. Not only ruining the combo because now you needed to an Innervate × 1 to the deck, but it also kind of made Juicy Psychmelon × 1 useless as you could not draw your whole combo almost at once.

1) First of all I added Innervate × 1 so I can play the Aviana - Kun combo.
2) I made sure Juicy Psychmelon × 1 would draw the 7,8,9 and 10 minions I need for the combo. The only problem is I have 2 10 mana cost minions. No problem, I modiefied the car draw engine in the third major change.
3) I added a Untapped Potential × 1 package with great card draw and removal: Rising Winds × 2, Wrath × 2 , Starfall × 2 , Hidden Oasis × 2 and Nourish × 1 are amazing additions to this combo deck. The other card draws are: Ferocious Howl × 2 and Branching Paths × 2.
4) Last but not least I changed the combo. Here it is in a few steps how to play it exactly:
Step 1: Aviana × 1
Step 2: Innervate × 1 and Kun the Forgotten King × 1 (triggereing both choose one options)
Step 3: Alexstrasza × 1 on opponent
Step 4: Medivh, the Guardian × 1
Step 5: Brann Bronzebeard × 1
Step 6: Star Aligner × 1 for 14 damage
Step 7: attack with the weapon from Medivh to finish of opponent.
The remaining cards are mostly survival tools or mana ramping:
Biology Project × 2, Jade Blossom × 2, Poison Seeds × 2 and Spreading Plague × 2 .
Muligan:
Keep the quest ofcourse, muligan for mana ramp cards, innervate or Brann. Discard the rest, even the combo pieces. Do not worry about getting these combo pieces, the card draw is amazing in this deck. I have it most of the time around turn 10.

Will get wrecked by every aggro deck in wild!!

Yes, but 50% of what I faced this morning were slow Priest decks. It makes playing against resurrect Priest almost fun. The aggro decks I faced (hunter and paladin even pirate rogue) were pretty do able.
Also you underestimate Spreading Plague, Poison Seeds, double armor up of the Branching Paths and Hidden Oasis against aggro.
Does not reallly look inovative .. but oh well
It isn't that's why I added the original deck in the spoiler. To show it is nothing new. .. but oh well, lol
Cool deck but nothing a dirty rat would fix
how often did you see dirty rat in the meta? even deathlord is a card I havent seen in a while now...
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffer!
I play it in my Galaxy Reno Mage deck, not saying it’s a common card anymore but if this deck became a problem then a rat would pull a combo piece.
I must say I played against a Higlander Rogue with deathlord and oracle trying to mill some cards but still pulled of the combo. Deathlord pulled out my Aviana and had all combo pices (even Plate Breaker to get rid of the 5 armor of Galakrond) in hand. I was kinda lucky there but indeed not much rats and deathlords.

Dirty rat is one card I have in all of my decks. It can literally ruin everything opponent tries to do.
Against aggro you can play it instantly, and other decks save for late strike.
When everyone was using original star aligner, I even had 2 dirty rats in my deck and usually won all matches, just breaking one link from the chain.
I hope people will try this deck, will have fun with my rat.. ;)
