So just as a quick refresher, if I were to say craft a golden Ice Block, would I get back 2000 dust?? The 1600 for the original cost and then 400 for dusting the card??
It's only worth crafting the golden cards if you don't have two copies of the cards yet.
If you already have two copies (either golden or normal or a combination of the two) of Ice Block, Molten Giant and Coldlight Oracle, you should not craft the golden versions.
If you don't have two copies of the cards and you have the dust, you should craft the golden versions of the cards. If you don't disenchant them after the rotation, you just get that dust back. But if you do disenchant them, you make profit.

Not true...for the 100th time..
If you have 2 ordinary iceblocks you should craft 2 goldens and disenchant them after the refund for a netgain of 2x400 dust..same with the others obv. IF YOU HAVE 2 ORDIARY OF THE CARDS!
Wtf I got like a million people saying this is not true and I made the math too like wtf could blizzard clarify this cause im lowing my fucking mind here when people say different things

Actually, that is wrong. If you have regular cards, it doesn't matter whether you craft gold cards and disechant them or whether you do nothing. In both cases you get 400 dust win. Only if you like to have the golden cards, crafting is worth it, but you will "lose" the net gain. The only exception to this rule are common cards since the disenchanting cost of golden commons exceed the crafting costs of regular commons by 10 dust (and that is what you get more).
@OP The dust guide even has a flowchart that is really idiot proof and easy to follow.

If you have two regular copies and do nothing, you earn 800 dust, and 200 more if you dust them, leaving you with no copies. If you craft two golden, you lose 3200 dust, then gain it back after the rotation, then gain 800 more if you dust the golden, and 200 more if you dust the regular, leaving you with... 1000. It's identical.

If you already own the regular versions, you just get 2x 400 dust for free. If you were to craft the golden versions, you gain 2x1600 dust (which is what you lost crafting the golden versions) + 2x400 dust if you were to disenchant them. In the end, both ways result in a gain of 800 dust and two regular ice blocks being in your collection. The only "benefit" of crafting the golden versions right now is that you'll be able to use them until the patch hits without any disadvantage.

Dude, are you for real?
You get back the dust value of two copies of a card that gets "Hall-of-famed". So it has the exact same result dustwise if you have two ordinary copies of ice-block (2x400=800 dust) or if you craft two golden extra ones and dust those afterwards (2x1600, which you get back and then 2x400=800 for the dusting). No difference. The only case in which you can gain a profit (rather a discount) is, if you plan on upgrading from normal to golden, because in this case you can craft the golden copies for free and dust your normal copies, which is a small net bonus.
Craft 2 golden epics: -3200 dust Hall of Fame refund: 3200 dust DE value: 800 dust Opportunity cost (Hall of Fame refund for two normal copies): -800 dust Net gain: 0 dust
So gain 800 dust if you craft and DE two golden epics. However, having 2 golden epics means that you won't get the refund for the normal copies, so you lose 800 dust since you're not getting your regular copies refunded.
The only time you can get profit for crafting golden copies related to HoF is when commons are rotating as golden commons DE for 50 dust. This means that if you craft two golden copies of a common that is getting HoFed you'll earn 20 dust.
If you have two normal copies of a card that's getting HoFed, the only way to make a profit crafting golden copies is if the golden DE value is higher than the normal crafting value. This is only true for commons.
Dude's what you need to do is buy mad classic packs and CRACK GOLDEN COPIES from them for instant profit - just buy buy buy classic packs - the EV is huge if you open a golden version of these cards!
I dont see how its not obvious, they give you dust back for the 2 most valuable cards...the goldens if you have 4 iceblocks.
lets say you have 2 ordinary iceblocks...if you do nothin they will give you a full dust refund (800)
on top of this you now craft 2 goldens..this costs you 3200 dust, which you get back. result after hof : 4 iceblocks and 3200 dust
you then dust your 2 goldens = 800 dust
you now have 2 ordinary iceblocks, the 3200 dust which you paid for the goldens back in your account and 800 gained from dusting them.
So there is no benefit to crafting the golden versions then is there?
If you have two regular copies of Ice Block, you get 800 dust on rotation. So that leaves you with a net gain of 800 dust and two regular copies of Ice Block.
If you craft the the golden versions on top of your regulars, you pay 3200 dust which you get back on rotation. If you then disenchant the golden versions, you get 800 dust. The net result (-3200 + 3200 + 800) is the same here in case you did nothing: 800 dust and two regular copies of Ice Block.
So it literally makes 0 sense from a pure dust value standpoint to craft the golden versions if you have the regular ones already.
So just as a quick refresher, if I were to say craft a golden Ice Block, would I get back 2000 dust?? The 1600 for the original cost and then 400 for dusting the card??

Yes assuming you didn't have 2x regular ice blocks already.
If it helps... I made a reddit thread that broke it all down:

First case, do nothing. Gain 800 dust from the regular one. Craft gold -3200. Gain 3200. Net 0. Dust gold. gain 800 dust. 200 dust for the regular.
Then there is people like me who craft the golden version and keep them to play with in wild.

Look, the math behind crafting golden epics is:
Craft 2 golden epics: -3200 dust
Hall of Fame refund: 3200 dust
DE value: 800 dust
Opportunity cost (Hall of Fame refund for two normal copies): -800 dust
Net gain: 0 dust
So gain 800 dust if you craft and DE two golden epics. However, having 2 golden epics means that you won't get the refund for the normal copies, so you lose 800 dust since you're not getting your regular copies refunded.
The only time you can get profit for crafting golden copies related to HoF is when commons are rotating as golden commons DE for 50 dust. This means that if you craft two golden copies of a common that is getting HoFed you'll earn 20 dust.
If you have two normal copies of a card that's getting HoFed, the only way to make a profit crafting golden copies is if the golden DE value is higher than the normal crafting value. This is only true for commons.

But if I have only one copy of the Mountain Giant I should craft a second one and make it Golden seeing i have the dust?
Please don't tell my girlfriend about my card collection...
