Quick question : why do you say Maelstrom Portal is nerf?
~~We've seen many new one drop to go with that random summon effect~~

Edit : I mistook Maelstrom Portal & Emerald Hive Queen as two seperate entry, but in reality, MP's likely to be negatively affected by the Hive Queen effect - My bad

Have an upvote for your guide,
and thanks again

Other 1-drops are regular 1-drops, but Emerald Hive Queen might disrupt your game plan.

Oh okay, I see. I 1st assume they were 2 different entry in your list. Yes, you are right : that hive queen may ruined some important play.

It is a buff in a lot of situations, but like the OP pointed out, play any minions you plan to that turn.. BEFORE you maelstrom

I think The Black Knight is a much better tech card.. but only if you are seeing a lot of taunts. 1 extra mana, and it kills taunts with more than 5 health, and leaves you with a better body
