So, I just got my first ever golden Epic out of a Classic pack. How fortunate that it was a card that can be transformed into a legendary of your choice during a special event... But do I want to do that? I have golden-cards-mania and don't disenchant any of flashies. I'm also a true collector and the only cards I disenchant are the extra ones. I have found out that I lack lots of good cards from the Classic set and currently if I buy packs, I buy only the Classic ones. A week ago, I got my first Murloc Warleader, and now I opened the second one, and it was at the same time my first flashy Epic. Also, Murloc Warleader is very strong even after the nerf, as the attack gain is much more impactful in this case. And I'm sure there's no Legendary beyond my possession that I desire to own.
With all of these advantages and disadvantages mentioned, I need to know. Do I keep this extraordinary gift from Blizzard or should I disenchant it for a sweet legendary of my choice?
Assuming that you can still disenchant it for full value, there is no reason not to and no opportunity cost in doing so (you can just craft it again if you change your mind)

Disenchant it fast while you still get full dust value due to the nerf. You lose nothing since if you change your mind later you can recraft it (or any other golden epic) for the same dust.
In summary it is strictly better to disenchant nerfed cards while you still get full dust value, there is no downside at all.
Always disenchant recently nerfed cards, as long as you can still get the full dust value. You can always recraft it, and besides, you might just open another one some time later.

People who refuses to play aggro out of principle are even worse than people who play exclusively aggro.
One should seek to become a complete player and play all archetypes, including ones that he despises for whatever irrational reasons.

Disenchant golden Warleader = +1600
Craft regular Warleader = -400
Dust bowl = +1200 = 3 Classic Epics

Yes. Disenchant it. It is golden AND there is extra dust for disenchanting warleaders right now.
I think your real question is 'should I then spend that dust to craft something else'
I think this is rather a rhetorical question, is not it?

Thank you guys for answering.
It was hard but I did it.
Good night, sweet prince.
