Have you ever crafted a golden legendary for a favorite deck?

Submitted 4 years, 8 months ago by

Recently I crafted a golden Sonya for my Spectral Pillager Rogue (in the sig) because it has long been my favorite deck. I may also craft a golden Valeera down the road too at some point. Sure, crafting cards in golden is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but once in a long while I like to do a little extra for a deck I really like. Baited for those shinies.

Have you ever crafted a golden legendary for a deck or specific card you really enjoyed?

    Nope.

    I am a F2P and my pragmatism has prevailed so far. Also, despite having favourite decks, none of them feels BDF (Best Deck Forever) to me, I keep rotating, and sometimes innovating what I like.

    I am much more inclined to spend dust for a new card (or an old one I do not own) that inspires my deckbuilding, even when off-meta, eg. I recently crafted Lyra the Sunshard (for my Wild Miracle Priest).

    I crafted Gazlowe as golden around the mid-2015 for Mech Warlock list I made myself. To this day, I still keep him. Since then, I didn't craft any golden legendary.

    Crafted Golden Fandral, Malfurion, Aya, , because I wanted a golden Jade Druid Deck.

     

    Crafted Zilliax, Jaina, Lich King, Vargoth, Loatheb because they are cool and I would use them a lot.

    I only craft golden DK's for class that I've already golden, otherwise when you play a non-gold DK your shiny HP will turn wood again (and that thing drives me crazy). There are indeed some cool golden cards, but while I love the animation of each artwork I really dislike all that gold on the card border that cover the color of the card itself.

    But I admit I'm thinking to gold Mal'Ganis since is probably the one with the best "upgrade".

    Aye.  I'm not F2P and I  play a fair bit, so late on in each expansion I tend to have spare dust which I use to upgrade my favourite cards to golden.  N'Zoth was my first and Archmage Vargoth was my most recent.

    Probably my most impactful one is Ke'lThuzard.  There's something about seeing a golden Kel'Thuzad that makes people concede. :)

    Very much this. Apart from golden Sylvanas right before her Hall-of-Faming, I haven't crafted golden legendaries even though I have plenty of dust lying around. I guess I'm saving for that gamebreaking expansion where I need to craft all legendaries on day 1.

    I'm not F2P, but I can't justify doing something like crafting golden cards because I feel like that's dust I could have used to craft part of a new deck to play with. I have other vices and hobbies to spend my money on.

    For some reason, I am also not too interested in the cosmetic aspects of the game. New hero skins are not an incentive for me to buy packs or pre-orders, for example.

    I think it's great that there are people who get into the golden cards and other cosmetic things. It's just not my thing. I'm a cheap skate, I suppose!

    Yep, I craft a lot of golden cards simply because I don't have much use for dust as an arena player. 70+ golden legendaries, most of them crafted. It would be nice if there was an option to gift dust to players on the FL.

    Just like the other users on this thread, I value my dust way more than the outward appearance of a certain card. I prefer to be able to play various decks than sticking to just one. This becomes very visible, when a new expansion hits (which will be the case in roughly one month and two weeks from now).

    But gratz for your Sonya.

    Not for a favourite deck but yes, I crafted both Zuljin and Rafaam golden. Oh, I crafted a golden Genn too because it was essentially free. It's only dust.

    I disenchanted gold cards on my main account (EU) so that I have all the cards I need without spending even more money. My f2p Asia account I crafted golden whizzbang so as to have all golden decks (including golden coin and heroes). Best 3200 dust ever!

    I'd love to craft some stuff for Renolock, but not only do I change the deck a lot, it would cost me like 50k dust for a full golden deck, so I can't really waste the dust being (mostly) F2P

    Crafted Jaina - i love big spell mage, and she is awesome (pre nerf Jaina only for DK owners:D) Khadgar - idk, just wanted iconic hero in golden. And Catrina Muerte - so much value in my wild big priest.

    Also, free golden legs who were hofed too, but they were free, but not de them.

    Nope. Though I have an internal rule that if I'm ever going to craft a golden card, it has to have a Discover or token-generating effect so the card/token they'll give me will be golden as well. If I'm ever going to bling out, might as well squeeze value out of it :)

    Not a particular list but Rez Priest of any sort is probably my favourite sort of archetype, and when RoS released you can guess what card i immediately crafted and played with

    First one was Confessor Paletress followed by some Hunter Stuff (Kathrena Winterwisp, Deathstalker Rexxar), Hadronox for my Odd Taunt-Druid and the HoF Cards.

    I actually dust all Golden cards that pop up with the 'Extra' command (shows cards of which you have more than 2).

    So one day, I might not have any golden cards left at all.

     

    Except Southsea Deckhand, because it is special to me.

    I'm poor on dust and I still lack many good legendaries, so, golden legendaries will have to wait for very long!

    The pleasure is mine.

    My last standard decks: nothing special right now.

    Ive crafted a few golden classic legendaries (Thalnos, Alex, Edwin and Leeroy), and at the beginning of an expansion ill normally craft at least one new leggo in gold (Lich King and Zilliax come to mind as good ones, Da Undatakah has been a whiff). Completely pointless I know, but they're so shiny! Must. Have. All. The. Shinies! Or something like that.

    I only crafted golden Archbishop Benedictus, though it had less to do with really fucking loving Hemet Razakus priest but more to do with happening to need a copy of Benedictus and the fact that shuffling 20+ golden cards into my deck was pretty good value

    I haven't made one because I like a card or deck yet.  I mean, if I like a deck, I should have a plain copy already and crafting a new copy feels bad.  Most good legendaries spend their time in hand and don't generate more golden cards either

    I crafted Prince Keleseth, Prince Taldaram and Prince Valanar Golden...

     

     Because Royalty deserves Bling.

     

     Also I have double Renounce Darkness in Gold. Reasons...

    I never have crafted a golden for anything ... except extra dust when I know the card is rotating to hall of fame and I don't have two of it.

    Quite a few, like Dk Jaina, Anduin and Rexxar. Minions, recently crafted Janalai.

    Usualy i craft goldens that generate other cards and only disenchant cards if really necessary, i have like 30k+ in potencial dust.

    Not necessarily for any specific deck, but I crafted Golden Yogg-Saron, Hope's End, Shifter Zerus and Shudderwock when they came out.

    Haven't regretted any of them (though I did end up DEing the Golden Yogg when he was nerfed, as I also had a normal one).

    Yes i dit. Most of my decks i play in wild are all golden now. When an expansion drops i just craft the legendary ones i want in gold, so i dont get the normal version out of the packs. Someone would say im just addicted. :D

    Each expansion I craft 4-6 golden legendaries to prevent getting nongolden versions. It's usually both rogue cards and some that I think will be good/fun.

    I've smoked a lot of ganja dust so I'm forever not2fast

    I have a lot of golden legendaries, but I never crafted any of them. Instead, I dusted some (Kazakus, Onixya at least, maybe one more or two).

    I prefer to craft 2 legendaries instead of 1 golden. IF there was a single card or two that I would have crafted golden, they would have been my favourite legendaries: Lord Jaraxxus and Cairne. As both aren't played anymore (the first is literally unplayable and it probably forever will be) I'm glad I never crafted them.

    My OCD hates having a combination of golden and non-golden cards in deck, and since I'm no millionaire to get all decks fully golden, I DE all golden cards (damn you Sn1p-Sn4p).
