So, after getting everything i wanted, i have 6600 dust remaining, and i have already been thinking for some time to craft some golden legendary. Now, the thing is which one to craft. Im looking to craft legendaries which are commonly played, and if possible also that they crate other cards and animated effects. According to this, imo the options are (i play mostly control decks):
Ysera: Powerful legendary, used in many control decks. Gives other golden cards. Belongs to classic, will always be allowed in standard.
Lord Jaraxxus: Provides golden nifernals and a golden weapon and hero portrait. But currently doesnt see much play because of the death of Handlock.
Twin Emperor Vek'lor: Staple in C'thun decks, sees plenty of play. But belongs to WoG, wont be always in Standard.
Tirion Fordring: Awesome in gold imo, and gives a golden Ashbringer.
Grommash Hellscream: Warrior is my favorite class and he is widely used in that class. Just because.
Elise Starseeker:She gives golden legendaries. Will be out of standard in 1 year.
N'Zoth, the Corruptor: Revives golden stuff. Golden Tirion and Sylvannas and Cairne, besides other cool stuff.
These are all the ones i thought of. I can craft 2 of them. Which ones you recommend, did you think of any other? Thanks for your replies, mates.
Golden is lame, it makes the board look like your granma's house lol
In that case, dont craft or keep anything golden, nobody is forcing you to. You are not even forced to answer to this thread actually. I could say regular is lame, but i wont because im not such a jerk, and understand there are different people who like different things, fortunately.
My first ever legendary was golden The Black Knight. You'd be staggered by the equivalent of penis envy that I've encountered with him since the early days.
On a serious note, golden cards seen to draw the attention more than the regular versions. For some reason, the graphics seem to make them a higher priority target so I'd pick whichever card you run most of. Or Dr. Boom if you have a genuine, legitimate, first world problem
I would say Ysera and Grommash. Ysera for the dream cards and Grommash because you'll use him a lot. Golden cards aren't worth it if you don't use them.
Ysera, Tirion, and Grommash are safe bets. Ysera can be used in dragon priest/control warrior/other control decks. Tirion has always been staple in pally (except agrodin).
Would not recommend Twin, Nzoth, or Elise, since you can really only use them for a year before they get retired into wild.
Even without Twin Emp, I'm playing Cthun decks fine.

Ye thats why we should suggest to blizz to let us craft black or red or white cards, not chandeliers... LOL
I'm very into golden cards so before crafting them I'm asking myself these questions:
Is the card giving back other cards ?
Do I play regularly this card ?
Is it a staple card and if it is not it is fun enough to justify the dust ? e.g. I've crafted golden renounce of darkness and it is a blast.
Other principle to be taken into the consideration:
If you are intending to play just standard, prioritize classic legendaries.
So Tirion, Sylvanas, Ragnaros, Alexstrasza, Ysera are totally safe golden crafts.
If you don't mind that Elise will not be in Standard in 1 year, craft here, she is AWESOME and brings back all those shinny legendaries.
N'zoth is in the same league of awesomeness and safer than Elise,he will be out in 2 years, which is a lot of time to enjoy him and the cards that he bring back on the table.
I have all the competitive and a good bunch of gimmicky or niche legendaries, all of them regular except Malkorok which i have golden. Im only missing some useless legendaries (Millhouse Manastorm, Lorewalker Cho, Nat Pagle, Nat, the Darkfisher to say some) and some niche, or never seen legendaries, like Foe Reaper 4000, Tinkmaster Overspark or Elite Tauren Chieftain. You can check my collection in my profile if you wanna know more.

Edwin Van Cleef best card ever
Ysera and Fodring would be my votes, I'd eliminate anything that's not in classic and those are the two I probably play the most.
Forbidden Shaping or Renounce Darkness
Tirion for sure
and maybe grommash? nice in golden and its gonna be useful in any warrior deck and its your favorite class
also ysera worth it in gold but tirion is just the best legendary in the game probably
I wouldn't craft Gromm since he's already animated in a way by Enrage, I really like that look on him as it really suits the very aggressive portrait.
I'd go with either of those two, as they look fantastic.

Sylvanas or Ysera -- I have them both and they are gorgeous - especially the golden Dream cards
Created a similar post a few weaks ago, no response :( i ended up crafting leeroy, but know i think i would rather craft harris, because he is so good
Generally, I like golden cards that generate tokens/more golden cards/etc.
A golden Renounce Darkness is nice, as you'll receive golden versions of the other class' cards + the golden hero power.
Others: Golden Elise, Jaraxxus, Faceless Summoner, etc
Tirion. If you like pally he will always see play in your decks, and he also gives a golden Ashbringer.
N'zoth for sure. It's such a beautiful card, I am going to recraft it golden when I have spare dust.
