Hearthpwn

Hey guys, I need your advice.

I have been keeping most of my wild cards even though I never play wild. I kept them out of nostalgia and to be prepared to build the best decks for coming adventures (and maybe brawls). But now the adventures got nerfed, at least they are free and I expect them to be playable as a new player without too much hassle. Beating hardcore was just for fun anyways...

These are the wild epic & legendary cards I am still holding and I really want the dust...but I just couldn't do it...tell me it's ok:

Old Murk-Eye

Feugen

Stalagg

Kel'Thuzad

Nefarian

Sir Finley Mrrgglton

Brann Bronzebeard

Elise Starseeker

Arch-Thief Rafaam

Djinni of Zephyrs

Naga Sea Witch

Garrison Commander

Twilight Guardian

Elemental Destruction

Mysterious Challenger

Enter the Coliseum

Lock and Load

I don't think I can disenchant these:

Sylvanas Windrunner

Ragnaros the Firelord

Reno Jackson

Damn...now that I wrote these down, this is a shitload of dust!!! :D

Are there any rare or common cards you would recommend to hold on to?

I personally play wild very little right now (maybe 2% of my time in hearthstone is in wild) but that is because I have enjoyed the variety of standard a lot. That means I don't know a lot about the meta, but what I can say is that the main reason to play wild is for interesting comboes, and crazy control decks, because all the interactions between cards makes slower decks that utilize cool effects more interesting, and also better. That means keeping those legendaries is important if you ever want to play wild, the epics are less important but keeping the more interesting ones would be wise, and then rare's and commons you can craft on the fly if you want to play certain decks, but keeping heal bot, deathlord, mad scienetist, and shredder are good ideas because they see a lot of play. 

Don't do it!  The short term gain of 1/4 value on your sweet Legends will be something you regret if you stick with Hearthstone.  Look at the amount of dust you'll get, then look at what you'd spend if you needed to recraft even half of those.  Brutal! 

To just pick on one example, I'll take the one above me: rafaam.
Sure, it's pretty bad. Now, you never know the cards coming in the future, that might have some synergies with 10 cost spells. We've already seen in the past, how aviana suddendly became a not-so-meme deck when kun got released with gadgetzan. And that's just one example.

Disenchanting because it's wild = worst idea ever. ^_^

Stalagg and Feugen?

Dude, you basically got 800 dust there.

Keep in mind the wild cards are also useful in brawls and possibly the new PvE adventure content (unverified on that one, but past adventures were open to all cards).  

Everyone regrets it after a while once the standard meta becomes stale and you wanna have some fun. Don't do it! 

Damn...I was expecting everyone says: "do it!" and I would be able to craft like crazy this evening or when the expansion hits...

But now I have to hold onto them...

Disenchant epics and Feugen+Stalagg is safe?

What are Hall of Fame cards, I don't understand why they are in the HoF.

I personally love Stallag and feugen for Deathrattle Shaman. I think Raffam has sealed his fate for a disenchant, also get rid of maexxna if you have her and Nagano sea witch.

If you know that you only enjoy playing your favourite decks for a year or so, and will never enjoy playing them again after that, it seems perfectly safe to dust everything. However, if you lack precognition, you probably shouldn't dust anything.

FWIW - from your list, I've personally dusted Rafaam and Sea Witch. I regret dusting Rafaam - I've been to a few Fireside Gatherings, and we've had a couple "30 Legendaries" tournaments. He's a super-fun card if you are just clowning around with your friends.

I've disenchanted every wild card and I haven't ever regretted it except in very small niche situations. Just do it. the dust is worth it, and if you don't play wild why wouldn't you?

Terrible idea, the return on dust is not worth the loss of playability for the game. Also, just because you don't THINK you'll ever play wild now doesn't mean you won't change your mind in the future. There are plenty of people that disenchanted all their wild cards a year ago when wild was introduced and have said they made the biggest mistake looking back.

If you plan on playing the game in any serious manner for the long term future, DO NOT disenchant all your wild cards.

I've dusted all of my wild cards. I have never regretted it at all, even for tavern brawls. We will see if that statement remains true after Lich King PVE content.

Standard mode is best mode.

All PvE content and Brawls can easily be completed with just standard cards. So you're really just missing out on the wild format. And if you're okay not playing wild just go for it.

I've played since beta and have always preferred standard to wild for as long those two formats have existed. You may be different than me and have some sort of attachment to old cards, but if you don't just dust them

Don't do it.

Edit: You should have added a poll btw.

It seems as though you´re somewhat hesitant to dust the cards, which makes it more likely that you´ll experience regret at some point in the future. Personally I haven´t dusted my wild cards, and enjoy playing Wild a lot since you can play fun, if less competitive, decks that you can´t cobble together with Standard cards (although I realize there´s a lot of players out there who feel ´uncompetitive fun´ is an oxymoron). My Feugen and Stalagg Rogue is probaly not going to get me to Legend, but that´s not why I play it. I play it to try and get as many Thaddius´ out as I can. If you´re sole objective in this game is to reach Legend in ranked play every month, then yes, you´re probably best off sticking to Tier 1 Standard decks. If you like to occasionally unwind with a flavour or meme deck, I say keep your Wild cards. 

It's not just about playing wild  and brawls or not - there are going to be rotations from now, so you are talking about dusting to craft stuff that you will eventually want to dust as well. You enter this crazy downward spiral of disenchanting every rotation...and for what? You get 1/4 of the dust value back, and blizzard laughs all the way to the 'dust'-bank. Keep your collection and enjoy collecting, dust nothing except duplicates. This is a card collection game!! You are supposed to enjoy hoarding almost as much as playing.

Many of us tried to tell people you'll regret dusting your wild cards, back when the split happened, whether you intend to play wild or not...now look how many 'regret' posts there are.

Why don't you give Wild a go and see for yourself? I mean if you don't have naxxramas or gvg cards maybe you don't really get it and you won't until next rotation, but if you have the cards and you can create good wild decks give it a go and decide later.

Some people here say Wild has "broken" stuff but really, it doesn't, it just has a higher power level which is actually cool as you can do the same stuff but with more options and sometimes even have other kind of decks, you don't play it and that's ok, but give it a serious try before making a choice based on other people opinion, even if all you are seeking is validation
