As someone who got legend for the first and only time with Star Aligner Druid (first time I tried to because I liked the deck very much and I don't usually play hours past rank 5 to try for legend) the nerf for Avianna is... beyond fair.
Druid has already access to another turn with 10 mana with Twig. There is also the option of Emperor to make Avianna back to 9 for Aviana + Kun compo. There is also Floop for a 4 mana Avianna. Also, Innervate. Literally, the card is as playable as it was before.
The only hit is that you can't draw your combo pieces with one fucking card. Which was beyond unfair. So now, it slows down the deck where you need some kind of set up for the combo or more draw.
The "can't attack heroes this turn" minions can still go face if they are summoned. The rush cards cannot, so there is still a difference. I guess you can say that rush is a little weaker mechanic.
An annoying Tirion stands in your way? And he has company right beside him? Sweat no more! Target the minion next to him and it will devolve him again and again until he becomes a mighty Wisp (if both minions survive long enough that is). Also, it makes the opponent to really need to trade the targeted minion. So, if you target an important minion, he will make an unfavorable trade just to kill it himself!
Just tried it. Only 2 games in at Rank 10 wild (where I am stuck back and forth for like 15 games) and it already seems way easy to OTK with Malygos. Haven't even used Auctioneer and Emperor yet. Lol! I'll update when I have a bigger sample. If your deck takes me to rank 5 for that golden epic I'll let you know! :D

Ah? Deck of Chaos is the only 5 mana card. You always draw it on turn 5?

It's not even a legendary spell. Meaning the turn after you play Boom-Zooka you can play it TWICE for freakin 44dmg from 6 charged minions!
Oh, you want a control deck? How about a full board of 3/12 Witchwood Grizzlies?
Insane value in a cubelock deck especially. Which is already pretty strong.
Is this even real???

Perfect nerf.

If you are about to die, you can always combo this with Naturalize at 10 mana to bring back your taunts. Seems pretty good!
