If you're up for platforming, play Hollow Knight. It was a bit harder than I would have liked, but it's an awesome large and detailed world to explore. And it's absurdly cheap compared to the amount of content in the game.
If you want to kill a lot of time, Stellaris might be an option. It can be a role-playing game of sorts, making a weird alien race and deciding how they react to what happens around them. It's a very slow game though and a lot of the actual game play is not waging war but balancing your economy, so maybe first check a video to see if it appeals to you.
Oh, I definitely agree on Hollow Knight being amazing. Unfortunately for me, I've already played it. Stellaris, on the other hand... I'll look into it
Edit: And I am a big fan of Paradox as a rule
If you like metroidvanias, why don't you try Ori and the Blind Forest ? It's a really charming game with quite simple, but emotional story. It doesn't focus as much on fighting as Hollow Knight, but if you enjoy platforming, then here you are :)
What happened to Flux is shocking, but as I don't really frequent Hearthpwn anymore (aside from checking out decklists) I could not comment on the way the new owners are being treated. But if people are going over there just to troll and piss people off then thats low.
If you don't like Hearthpwn that's cool. But don't waste your time slagging it off. Let the new owners get thier feet under the table. Sheesh....

I used to have an Unseen Saboteur in the deck, but as mentioned in the description most games were against Hunters and they are happy for a free Unleash the Beast oO
Do you have Zilliax? Because if you don't that should be at the top of your list. It is neutral and it fits almost everywhere. The most versatile legendary around right now imo. Other than that Al'akir is a fun Shaman card to play with. Some of the others are fun cards to play with but ones that I wouldn't waste dust on crafting. The other option is to hold onto the dust. You don't need to use it right away. I save my dust as much as possible and only use it if I really need something.
I do have Zilliax and he was probably the best legendary I ever got through packs.
thank you everyone for your replies and advice. I think in the end I will go with al'akir and soularium.
scargil is useless aparently, so glad I did not craft it.
zentimo and electra are nice, but not necessary, or game changing at all.
darius is okay I guess, but warrior is not in a very good spot, and he is not necessary at all.
and elysiana is only useful in that one matchup, so I don't think I will be using her much

Hollow Knight is amazing; if you like Metroidvanias, I can't recommend highly enough.
I know fans of the series are up in arms about the recent changes coming in with the blessing that is a console core installation of PokeMon. That being said, here's my take on things.
The game looks gorgeous and I'm incredibly excited to enjoy both tall grass and wandering encounters. I think both means of engaging wild PokéMon have a place in the main series and offer a better overall experience regarding immersion (much more than past titles).
The new mechanic - Dynamax - is a silly gimmick that forgoes the complexity and openness that Mega Evolution brought in X/Y. Mega PokéMon were and still are the best mechanic to enter the series, transforming average or even "bad" monsters to competitive tanks and sweepers. I mean, it made Beedrill a terrifying force to be reckoned with! Even Z-moves were more inventive, although they catered to the competitive tournament aspect of the game more than Megas ever did imo. Dynamax fails to bring anything unique to the series other than the opportunity to engage in raid battles (which didn't need Dynamax to come to fruition). They're just big, which means they're stronger. How revolutionary. Kappa
The absence of the National Dex feels very bad to a lifetime fan and player such as myself, but I wouldn't skip this game for it. The National Dex is something I've worked very hard on completing in every generation (I'm currently only missing a couple event legendaries like Marshadow!) and it feels strange and wrong to think of my hard-trained and collected PokéMon being cherry-picked for admission into the new generation. That being said, I do not think this will ruin the game. Nintendo and GameFreak could always see their fan base calling out for a full National Dex and bring the new character models in with a patch (why not exclude the non-Galar PokéMon from Dynamax effects to save space and development time?), but I can't say I 100% expect it. Given the increasing file size of each PokéMon and the sheer volume of monsters we now have, it's entirely reasonable for Nintendo to consider limiting how many PokéMon appear in each game. I want the National Dex as badly as the next trainer, but I'm not going to roast Nintendo and GameFreak for a Dex we have no information on regarding its size. Chill out and let's get some more information before we all flip our lids.
The new PokéMon designs look fantastic and I can't wait to see the rest (yes, even the moronic-looking Impidimp is fine imo. Just like in nature, not every creature is going to thrill, impress, or draw you in to love it, and that's fine).
I hope this generation gives us some real old-school challenges like Whitney's Miltank from Gold/Silver, something that just utterly steamrolls you the first time and makes you reconsider your team and battle plan. The games have felt very easy in the story with the Battle Trees and the like suddenly ramping up in difficulty.
That is just sleazy. Remember, your first ten packs of an expansion have a guaranteed Legendary in them. So for people who have never played with these sets, they buy this and got a pretty good chance to not get a damn thing out of it except for some rando commons and rares. The bastards just couldn't quite fit two more packs per expansion into this digital bundle. Those just wouldn't fit in anymore. (For the record, I don't care either way for myself cause I got more Wild cards than I know what to do with and wouldn't buy the bundle anyway).
Seriously, what is more likely to get more people to play Wild? a) people buy a Wild bundle, get a bunch of random trash rares and commons and think "damn, no Legendary, better buy two more packs of each", or b) people buy a Wild bundle, get a pile of legendaries from various sets and think "damn, I could build a deck around this one, let me buy a few more packs and try to build something". I'd bet my left nut on b). New news: keeping customers happy pays off way more than intentionally pissing them off by being cheap. They went out of their way to try to squeeze a little bit more out of people instead of doing the pro-consumer thing. The two extra packs per expansion (for proportionally increased price) would not have bankrupted the company.

Al'Akir the Windlord is good because he's evergreen, sooner or later he will be played again. In wild he can be played. Control and midrange shaman love this card, so I think he'll find space in the right meta
Scargil is useless, IMHO, as you want a very low curve in this deck. The value generators are more important than this guy.
Electra Stormsurge and Zentimo I own electra and in wild control shaman she is strong, but I wouldn't craft her without a clear deck to craft. The same apply to Zentimo: both are good but only in the right deck. Go ahead and craft them IF you do want to play with that decks.
Darius Crowley is very strong in the right meta. I own him and I can say that tempo/rush warrior is strong... or well, he would be strong if the meta was different.
Archivist Elysiana is a dead card in everything that isn't a control-fatigue mirror match. I wouldn't craft her.
So, in the end, I suggest you Al'akir, or either Zentimo or Electra if you really like this kind of shaman.
Most of the criticism I've seen is really weak/foolish.
I don't think they're doing a better job, but they're a week into managing a site that caters to a fan base with a penchant for leaping before looking, so to speak.
So many excuses to complain (I can hear the collective gasp of shock at that thought: Hearthstone players complaining!? Never! kappa), none of them with any goal to resolve things or offer constructive analysis.
I still use HearthPwn for now, but from what I've seen the site is largely unchanged aside from who writes the articles. The mechanics are untouched, neither better nor worse. I'm waiting to see if they can improve anything before I decide to ditch them just because of a buyout.
Darius Crowley is a good card, but I've been unable to have any success with Rush Warrior, so it seems he's mostly an addition to Bomb/Control Warrior at the moment.
I was pretty disappointed by Plot Twist Warlock when I played it from Zayle, Shadow Cloak and in the recent brawl. Possibly those decks weren't optimal, but the whole Plot Twist + Betrug combo just seems a lot of work to set up compared to its pay-off. And that's coming from someone who plays Star Aligner ;)
That said, The Soularium is a card that fits in many decks, even if currently Zoo is the only strong deck that uses it. It was used before in Mecha'thun Warlock and Discolock, so if you're going to actually play with your Wild cards at some point, you can probably use it in multiple decks there as well.
Electra Stormsurge is nice, but not as flexible as I thought she would be. If you cast an overload spell, you overload twice, which can make the next turn really weak. If you cast a cheap spell, getting the effect twice isn't all that impactful. And if you cast an expensive spell, getting enough mana for the spell +3 is difficult. Still a decent card, but more of a 30th card in a deck than a build-around.
This was exactly what I thought, but as luck had it I drew only one legendary.. Mayor Noggenfogger
Ouch. It if makes you feel better, I think I still have three copies remaining from the era when duplicate legendaries were a thing. What a happy expansion that was.
I'm bored. It's summer. Anyone has any ideas for games for me to play?

has to be a beast, and has to have more attack than health

Big Shaman is quite flexible in which big minions you pick. The only must-have is Walking Fountain, but that's a common. Al'Akir the Windlord is good in the deck, but you can also use Zilliax, Ysera, Big Bad Archmage, Batterhead, Exotic Mountseller, Cairne Bloodhoof.
Darius Crowley is a good card, but I've been unable to have any success with Rush Warrior, so it seems he's mostly an addition to Bomb/Control Warrior at the moment.
