I have an itch to craft guldan, and have a golden Spiritsinger Umbra laying around.. do you think she is a hodl still? Or is it time to scrap the naxx wannabe. She doesn't see any play in wild currently either.
Depends, do you ever play any deathrattle decks? If you do she can do wonders for you with the right combos. I carafted her when Un'Goro released and I love using her.

Courage is not the absence of fear, Courage is the presence of faith.
She's amazing in wild - especially with Ramp N'Zoth Druid. If you do not play wild/deathrattle, then yes, but I wouldn't DE her unless you really want the deck for either fun or competitive. Wait till the meta calms a bit.
I tend to play and build competitive decks only (which many contain deathrattle). I tried making her work already in both wild and standard, but it just didn't work. Currently, there aren't anymore viable deathrattle cards released in this set that would work with her.
The issue with her is you're trying to do a two-three card combo with her on turn 7-10 which is immeasurably slow for something that isn't an otk or isn't game changing. You would have been better off playing those deathrattles though the game to contest the board. If you're dropping her on turn 4, then she is an overcosted vanilla minion.
She isnt bronzebeard that's for sure.
EDIT: just read the comment about nzoth druid. I havent played wild in about a month. But, when i was playing it was my primary format. I never ever saw one of those druids past rank 5. They would likely get mawed by pirate warrior, token druid, bloodlust shaman, etc etc. Renolock would pose issues for it because of its ability to board wipe and equally contest the board.
umbra is getting much love in this expansion, i wouldnt disenchant him - i would actually never DE things as long as they are not doubled and you absolutely need the dust
I personally love umbra for some niche decks. You can actually accomplish some pretty cool combos. I actually have had some success with my Hemet Direhorn Warrior, which uses Umbra to get at least one extra 6/9 taunt in your deck (which the decks win condition is based around)
Also... a sort of funny high value combo you can pull off that's actually pretty easy... Get a Devilsaur Egg to stick (it usually happens) then play Umbra, then Moat Lurker your own egg. Gives you 2 5/5s, Umbra, a Moat Lurker that resummons an egg, and an additional egg on the board. Fun stuff.
I use mine a lot with my deathrattle decks (mainly rogue and hunter). Even on curve it's a good minion, it's not that strong but if survive can do wonders with Arfus or coin Aya/Highmane.
But yours is golden. If it was me I would probably DE if it don't see play. I think you'll be safe to DE if you already have a good card to craft. BTW I don't think Guldangerous is enough, just keep umbra and see what comes in the next weeks, but the ones like the lich king or other auto-include legendaries are good to go.

I'd say do it. I held on for a while now but DE mine a while ago. I don't think there will ever be any use of Spiritsinger Umbra unfortunately.
