I'm thinking it might be a good idea to craft Shudderwock golden in case they nerf him in the future. Either way you get a cool golden card and possibly a full dust refund in the future. Thoughts?
I cannot see Shudderwock being nerfed. It is strong, but it takes skill to play.
If you can afford to spend 1600 dust on having a pretty card that may generate other pretty cards then go for it. Personally, I will never craft a golden legendary because 1600 dust takes a lot of time or money (a legendary is worth about $10 when accounting for the number of packs needed to get one).
Would anyone really have expected yogg to be nerfed? Or Caverns Below? Corridor Creeper? No. Nerfs are INCREDIBLY hard to predict so crafting with the intent of future profit is very risky. If you WANT a golden Shudderwock though, go for it.

What do you mean? lol
You still have to play the game strongly and actually survive to play Shudderwock Turn 9/10 all the while playing Life Drinker, Saronite, Grumble, and Fire Plume into Murmuring AND then a 9 mana Shudderwock. It seems straightforward, but the likelihood of having all cards on hand and on curve is low plus all the filler cards are mostly just board clears/healing so the deck will actually take a bit of skill to play as opposed to decks that have been OP in the past like Pirate Warrior or ShamanStone
The only decks that seem to be able to last control wise are warlock decks because they have so many tools to cheat out big minions/taunts for control and they don't even rely on the doom guard OTK 90% of the time. This decks ONLY win condition would end up being Shudderwock because it would just not have the room to run any other cards that wouldn't guarantee you to hit the eventual Shudderwock.
This is silly... either case you are just refunded the amount you spent when disenchanting the card. It is unlikely to get hall of famed. Same net result, you would lose the card from your collection. No not gain.
They were expected to be nerfed, the meta dictated that when all decks were seeing inclusions of these cards, but for things like caverns below, that was just too easy to pop off and it was a meta swing.

um.... no.

Don't do it for a refund--guessing on nerfs for refunds is a fool's game.
Do it because it'll be sweet as ****.

I'm crafting Golden of him because I target cards that generate tokens and other cards... plus his artwork is insane.
If it ever gets nerfed I get a free leg, if not I don't care because I'm crafting golden for me. But don't count on it. You will be disappointed.
I doubt it will ever get nerfed, it is a good card, but it's not as broken as people say it is.
I would rate it as a card with the same powerlevel of N'zoth and DK Gul'dan, both of them are strong but not game breakers.
(And no, the OTK deck won't work, shaman is not a class which capable of pulling combos consistently)
I'm sorry for my bad english :v
Just wait til they announce a nerf? Trying to preempt it is silly.
Dibbity don't touch that!

Crafting golden legendaries ? Wow the amount of dust to throw away some ppl have is crazy
Yeah the head shake is definitely a weird part of the animation.
Fair point!
Precisely friend, my thoughts exaclty!

I wouldn't do it for the refund, I'd do it for that wacky golden animation... :D
