I recently got Garrosh DK in golden out of a booster pack, but the thing is that I don't really have enough cards to build a good warrior DK deck. I really want Deathstalker rexxar, which I could craft when I would dust Garrosh, but I can't decide what is better...For a person who doesn't put in hundreds of dollars in a game each month a golden (DK) legendary is pretty pretty nice, but on the other side the card is useless for me. With rexxar I could play way better and probaply win more often, so i really don't know what to do ^^
It would be really nice if I could get some other opinions :)
It really depends. If you won't play Garrosh you might as well dust him to get Rexxar, especially if you like to play Hunter. Hunter also has the additional advantage of being generally a rather cheap class in terms of dust, which might be good if you are f2p.
As far as power levels are concerned, both of them seem not to be top tier these days, but who knows how that looks after the druid nerf or the next expansion.
I personally do not care much about golden cards, and I have dusted golden cards and kept the regular ones to improve my collection, but some people like the shiny cards.
What it comes down to is what you value more, a cool looking card that you rarely play, or a regular one that you play for a while. Hunter is certainly not top tier, but as a Rexxar DK owner myself I will say that build-a-beast is a lot of fun, and even if you don't win a lot more with the DK, you sure won't lose a lot more either.
DK Rexxar is one of tthe strongest deathknights. I'd say only Priest beats him in terms of pure long-term value. He's also incredibly fun to use.
However, Hunter is also probably the weakest class in this expansion (mostly due to inconsistent draw and really suffering from abd opening hands) BUT Hunter will eventually get better...it just has to...and DK Rexxar will be in pretty much every HUnter deck from now on, it's that good.
Garrosh DK isn't all that good and from what I've seen, actual decks built around him aren't all that successful and other than that he only sees play in Control warrior (which noone on a budget could ever afford).
So if you want to play Hunter (despite his current problems) then Rexxar will definitely increase your enjoyment and winrate.
Deathstalker Rexxar is incredibly fun to play with and also one of the strongest Death Knights in the game. The problem lies in the Hunter class itself, only craft Deathstalker Rexxar if you wanna play a fun deck. If you do not have Druid or Priest DK's, craft those instead.
I now think I will dust Garrosh, simply because like you said it is pretty much fun to play with him and he eventually will get better next expansion or after the Druid nerf.
I always liked Hunter and never had much problems with him, what makes my decision also a little bit easier :)
Dust him and craft Rexxar. Warrior decks do cost tons of dust if you wanna make them work, unless you play pirate and obviously this won't fit in pirate warrior. Rexxar is fun and interactive.
Garrosh DK might see play in the next years, almost 100% sure it will. Rexxar DK on the other hand probably won't see any play if hunter gets good on ladder, you can tell that by the archtypes that used to work for them before
Go with what you plan on playing, and consider the past and future of both classes. Hunter has had its ups and downs, but unfortunately tends to wither remain in midrange and aggro, while warrior has found a home in all of the main base archetypes: aggro, midrange, and control.
I personally love Rexxar and he has won plenty of matches for me due to the great Zombeasts you can create (also, the most fun hero power of the expansion, hands down). Rexxar has also lost me a few matches when I needed a silence or a taunt or removal and got stuck with a minion either too big to play or too small and ineffective to matter, though this happened less often. Not consistent and can frustrate you with odd hand size issues at rare times, but more often than not provides powerful and unanticipated RNG swings if you can keep up. And i have to say once again: building Zombeasts is extremely fun!
Garrosh on the other hand has been effective when played right. Losing armor changes the dynamic of warrior a bit, making you either run very aggressive decks like tempo or complex control decks that require a balance of early armor build and board control before moving to late threats. He's consistent and can provide very exciting matches, having one drawback in comparison: he can be boring with how consistent he is. He will do the same thing every time, which is good, but not quite exhilarating.
Ultimately, your options are Garrosh for more consistent and predictable gameplay, Rexxar for inconsistent and unpredictable gameplay. Both require some forethought before building a deck around them.
Best of luck!

It really depends on your long term plan. If you want to get legend with hunter by all means you probably shouldn't craft the DK since it is more likely that you will be more successfull with a more aggressive or midrange deck but if you are happy with roughly 50% win rate and don't care that much about climbing, go on and craft Rexxar. I got DK Garrosh and can say that he is not that bad at all but I also played controll warrior in all metas -> I wouldn't play this card in a budget deck.
That said, both DK's have the possibility to become better with more expansions. There could pop up a good controllish hunter with the DK and there could rise a cheap midrange DK-warrior deck without the expensive controll cards. Anyway: Golden cards are worth nothing if you have a small collection -> go for the cards you enjoy most.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.

Don't drink another drop of water until you see this!!
Thanks for the fast replies :)

rexxar sucks don't craft him.

Rexxar ia the weakest DK. And he would not become stronger in time.
There doesn't seem to be any choice? You are F2P, enjoy hunter and don't have many warrior cards...am I missing something?
