Not sure if the collection links here, so I'll just briefly describe. I currently have 22.9k dust, and most good cards from the previous sets. My legendaries (including from this set), are:
At this point, I can craft remaining cards I need for various decks (the 3/2 rogue legendary, the rare/epic cards for Evolve Shaman, Halazil, maybe Cairne, potentially Yogg, etc.), but I also know that I'm also nearing the point where I might as well be crafting Golden cards for the long haul because my base collection is pretty good. Like, if I didn't already have Tirion, I would probably craft him golden because he's Classic and will always be relevant, and in the event he's nerfed I can just get the 3200 back easily. But 3200 for a Golden Malkorak because he's maybe good in CW ... I don't know
I'm eventually going to craft a golden N'zoth because it's freaking gorgeous. Just craft your favorites, and as long as you can build the decks you want, you're going to have a good time.
Craft cards that are central or auto include in decks. Some examples are like N'Zoth, Gromm, Tirion, or maybe Sylvanas. That's my advice plus golden N'Zoth looks amazing.
From having that much dust, I would say so? Just remember that Golden cards are for aesthetics purposes only, and having a Golden version of your favorite card can be very self fulfilling in its own way :)
Listen, I disagree with crafting Golden Cards, because at some point when you are low on dust, you will wish you hadn't. The Meta is at a point where it is ever changing, and we see cards like Cairne Bloodhoof and The Black Knight making a comeback, so if I were you, I would have literally ALL the cards before I starting crafting golden, regardless of my dust amount
I feel like the only legendaries that are still being used I don't have (from Classic) are Cairne and Leeroy, and both might be around for a while. Cairne is classic so he'll always be useful if he's needed in an N'zoth deck, which seems like it won't be leaving standard any time soon. And he'll probably be relevant in Wild, forever. With Leeroy, he'll probably be used in aggro decks or random OTK decks for a while, and if he ever gets nerfed due to Charge, I can DE for full value.
Everything else is just, meh. I hate the thought of crafting golden epics, and the only ones being used I don't have are WoG which makes it even worse. Rares and commons I can, but I'll probably open another 100 WoG packs before all is said and done, and I'll probably pick up a few.
Gold cards are expensive. I usually craft them when I have all the playable cards. Its nice to look at all gold decks, and addictive. Once you get one gold card then it snowballs and you want whole decks. Right now I have all gold Freeze Mage, Miracle Rogue, Mid Range Shaman, and a few others.
You'll also get a lot of people insulting you about it, and others friending you just to see your gold deck in action.
Mention you have a ton of gold cards on reddit, and you'll get downvoted like crazy :(
Honestly, if I had that much dust, I would focus on crafting Golden versions of cards that can add cards to your hand or summoned to the field through its effect.
For example: A Golden Cabalist's Tome will give you 3 random golden Mage spells. A golden Yogg-Saron will add golden copies of cards to your hand via its effect or summon golden versions of minions via its effect. Unfortunately, if Yogg draws cards from your deck for you, they won't be affected.
While it is for cosmetic purposes only and definitely not needed, I find that it does increase my enjoyment of the game because I can see the images actually moving during the course of a game. I do want to get a full-golden Casino Mage deck built one day just for that purpose.

Opinions?
Use all you dust on golden Am'gam Rager. Rank 1 legend immidietly.
Just kidding but if you have the dust for it I would just go for it. Tirion sounds like a good choice because he is classic card.
Taz'dingo! Ye-e-es!
Rank last season: Legend rank 5477

Hey Man!
Hope you are enjoying the game!

Ahhh
Keep your dust for the next expansion man. Golden cards are not needed. It is just a cosmetic thing.
Dead but dreaming
