Title says it all. Which nerfed cards are still worth keeping? It seems like BGH is still a strong keep. But what about cards like Ancient of Lore, FoN, etc.?
Since you get full dust refund anyway, just dust them all for now. It won't hurt too much if you can't use them for a few weeks and then it should have become clear which ones are still usable. Recraft those then.
Anyway, overall Knife Juggler seems to be still quite good and BgH got more techy, but still probably playable. All others are meh to terrible now.
I'd keep Knife Juggler and at least one BGH. The rest will probably depend on what/how you like to play. I traded my AoLs for two AoWs (since it was a card I still didn't have; why not get it essentially for free?). I think Azure Drake is a better choice now for card draw. Blade Flurry is a tossup. I don't run it in my Rogue deck (Raptor) but I know many did. FoN and KotG, I think, were nerfed to oblivion. Spellbreaker gives a stronger body along with the silence effect for the same cost as KotG.
My reasoning for keeping these for the last three cards are that even though nerfed, I'll still use them. As for the Ironbeak Owl, even though now it is strictly worse than Spellbreaker, it's still a beast and will enable beast synergies in Hunter decks.

I kept the Leper Gnomes and Knife Jugglers because I don't think they'll be bad. I kept the Ironbeak Owls because lol 40 dust each. And I kept one Molten Giant.
If you think about it, it makes sense to dust all the cards you think you might not use in the immediate future. If you need it again, you can craft it for the same amount of dust OR you can get it from a pack as Tavern Brawl and Arena will yield their share of Classic Packs.

I get the reasoning for the other three, but why Leper Gnome? He seems terrible now.
I dusted them all (why not, you can recraft for free?) but I have a feeling I'll end up with 1 BGH and 2 Knife Jugglers for sure. Leper Gnome, Force of Nature, and Ironbeak Owl might also see occasional play.

None of them, dust them while you get full value and if you really have a deck that can't survive without a nerfed card craft it again.
Also, Classic packs from brawls/quests will eventually contain one or more of those, so unless it's REALLY urgent don't bother crafting them again.
So far the only one that still looks decent is BGH (and Juggler, because with Implosion it's still broken af), but I gladly dusted mines.

Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
Kept 1 BGH and 1 Owl. Rest = dust.
Always Squelch.

One Ironbeak Owl, one Big Game Hunter, both Knife Jugglers, and both Leper Gnomes.

One BGH and knife probably if you plan on playing wild

I dusted all of them and i got some value out of my golden ones! I had 100 now I am sitting on 4600 and 800 gold for WoG.
I am not a Mage player, just thought my avatar would go with my name.

Check out my homebrewn Paladin deck.
Hunters mark, knife juggler, bgh, Ironbeak should all definitely be kept, but I could set dusting the Golden versions.
Lore, force, molten, arcane should all be dusted.
Master of disguise, keeper, blade flurry, and leper might be OK to keep, but definitely dust the golden versions.
Wants to play Captain Cookie Druid because why not?
i had a golden Knife Juggler and got 800 dust disenchant all your golden nerfed cards
i dust Ancient of Lore too 7 mana for 5/5 and 5 health or draw a card isn't worth keeping
any card can win for you the game if you play it at the right time
