After TotT came out, how many people actually stayed loyal to their Aa'une deck? Yeah, I gave up my dreams too, but I started trying to make that deck again about a week ago. With caution and brains, I've picked out a few cards that will help and make an Aa'une deck.
Aval'par: Aval'par can protect Aa'une from so many things, it's not even funny. Tarterek, burn damge, Arment Adagio, Unheard Melody, the 4 original chieftans, RotR, and I bet the list is even longer. Seriously, USE AVAL'PAR!
Bahrakatan: Um, I don't hope I don't have to explain this one.
Lake Ken-I-Po (DOP): Though the fact may not come to you at first, but what happens if your callings are negated? Yep. Now you know.
Glacier Plains (DOP): If you think about it, the Underworld Burn is arguably the scariest tribe for Aa'une decks. This can stop them red-handed.
Song of Stable Shields: Gan'trak and Tarterek are wiped off. Hooray!
Monophone Mayhem: Admit it, Najarin FF kills any M'arrillian deck with 2 fluidmorphers. Even 1 will make you struggle against Najarin. Monophone Mayhem fixes lots of problems.
Lam'inkal: Lam'inkal is a great creature in general, but he is important to Aa'une decks because support creatures are very annoying.
Phelphor OtD: This creature is insanely good. Fighting who Aa'une can beat is essential.
Now, we are going to try and make an Aa'une deck that can stand up to the metagame.

3.Aa'une@Baton of Aa'une
4.Bahrakatan@Freshwater Shard
5.Mock'adyn@WEV
6.Siril'ean@WEV
Now I'm going to be going a bit more in depth with this deck, so watch out. I decided not to put Aa'une in the middle for a few reasons. First, Klik'ssi's positioning is now better. Second, Aa'une will be exposed to more creatures. Third, if you are putting Aa'une in the middle for more fighting options, I'm laughing at you because who fights with Aa'une on turn 1? (guilty...) Finally, Aa'une is most probably your weakest fighter. The middle is a very important place to hold. I use Mock'adyn for obvious purposes; same with Siril'ean.
x2 Calling of Aa'une
x1 Unheard Melody
x1 Monophone mayhem
x1 Song of Stable Shields
x1 Void Dirge
Always run 2 callings. Unheard Melody can help Aa'une win a battle to turn into Avatar. Void dirge is great because your opponent can't revive, no Psionic, and no compost.
x1 Deadwater Devastation (4bp)
x2 Ice Disks (10bp)
x2 Rage of Aa'une (12bp)
x2 Invader's Tactics (14bp)
x2 Ghost Gouge (16bp)
x1 Mineral Mayhem (17bp)
x1 Kha'rall Crush (18bp)
x2 Flood Force (*20bp)
x2 Burning Rain
x2 Tidal Surge
x2 Aqua Recoil
x1 Fluid Flame
I chose Deadwater over SCR because I takes care of Najarin big time. I use Ice Disks to stop Tarterek and Najarin and any other annoying creature ability. Ghost Gouge is in there so that I can take advantage of Avatar's Outperform when he gets it. Mineral Mayhem is for LVBSoA.
x2 The Oligarch's Path
x2 Riverlands Foothold
x1 Mipedim Mirage
x1 Lake Ken-I-Po
x2 Mount Pillar Res. Foothold
x1 Mipedian Academy of Melee Arts
x1 Lake Ken-I-Po Ritual Site
Ritual Site is in here to stop anti- element decks. Melee Academy can stop burn. The rest are pretty obvious.
So that's the deck! If you want to change anything, please please comment.
