Avian or Aviana?
it is leaked from Korea and its Korean name is 황혼 녘의 아비아나(Duskfallen Aviana).
Finally bad legendary for druid. Justice.
So basically you get the same effect that Twig of the World Tree grants you. And Twig does it a million times safer, although a bit slower. And not a single competetive deck plays the weapon.
I'm the kind of guy who usually loves cards that get hate, but this one seems utterly super shit!
This is even more meme potential than temporus :D
Does Bring It On! ever see play?
Too many casual players calling every single card trash.
True, but this card just so happens to be very bad. Terrible even. It's like a mini Temporus. You first give your opponent an opportunity to benefit greatly, but with this card, you are not even guaranteed to benefit yourself.
Nice art wasted on dust card.
It's not much, but the card text says: "the first card each player PLAYS each turn costs (0)"
Emphasis on play, as in, from your hand.
Now summoning is not the same as playing, so if you were able to summon this card (cheat it into play) without playing a card the turn you desire to achieve the effect, you could theoretically pull off some ridiculous combos and shenanigans.
For example, you play Duskfallen Aviana, then Carnivorous Cube on turn 10, you could set up a combo, and your opponent wouldn't be able to get value from Duskfallen Aviana (because they'd have to spend a card to kill the cube), and you'd still get your free card.
Not likely to see much play (except maaaaybe in Quest Druid), but still, an incredibly interesting card for all the memers and Johnny's out there.
Not gonna lie, I want it, if only for the fun factor.
This here is an example of a wise man
this card can only see play in a very aggro heavy meta and only if you can manage to be ahead on board with a big deck or OTK deck. this card looks fantastic under those conditions. but under any other conditions it's unplayable. it's too specifically good to actually see use in my opinion.
This has to be an April Fool's joke. There's no way they'd make something THIS bad. This card is absolutely terrible. Your opponent gets to reap the rewards first. It's worse than Temporus because there's no guarantee you'll get any benefit. They can reap the rewards of your play and then remove it so you get nothing.
Definitely a joke. The leaked list of card names lists the card Duskfaller Avian and not Duskfallen Aviana so they just made a joke card with a similar name
In a perfect world, this would be a 4-drop.
The game plan: drop Grizzled Guardian on an empty board, requiring your opponent to spend a card to remove it. The Deathrattle triggers, Recruiting Duskfallen Aviana from your deck. You get the first crack at DAviana's effect, play Infestation, then kill off DAviana. Your opponent is now sad.
Sadly, this is no perfect world. DAviana costs 5 with no way to cheat it out without playing a card. In short, it's a Pint-Sized Summoner with the potential to lose you the game. Not great.
Edit: Someone above me raised the possibility of using Cube to ensure you get the effect first. Gimmicky, but with DAviana having such a high power ceiling, the payoff might actually be worth it.
Alarm-o-bot set and trolden music set, i'm ready for this card
Someone here wants to take Millhouse Manastorm's place
