If I'm playing as a golden hero (500 wins), and I have a deck with either a non golden Baku the Mooneater, or Genn Greymane. Does my golden hero power portrait get replaced by regular one at the start of the game? Similar to what a non golden Justicar Trueheart would do when played? what do you guys think?

I'm just trying to decide whether it would be worth it to craft golden ones before opening packs.

I'd be inclined to believe that since Baku the Mooneater has the a different wording than Justicar Trueheart, you keep the golden portrait. Baku the Mooneater only says upgrade while Justicar Trueheart says replace, therefore if it is still the same hero power I can't see why it would change from golden to non-golden. Similarly Genn Greymane just changes the cost without replacing the hero-power so I'd use the same argument here.

I believe that only the upgraded Hero Power portrait that comes from Baku will get replaced/changed. Genn makes it so that your HP gets discounted (Raza like) and the portrait remains unchanged. So craft Baku in Golden, no need for Genn.

If I remember correctly, non-golden Justicar will keep your hero power portrait golden if played with golden hero, so Baku will be the same.

EDIT: But then if you play non-golden Vilefin Inquisotor with golden Paladin portrait, the resulting hero power will be non-golden in this case, so I really am not sure right now with Baku.

Do anyone knows if will I get golden hero power if I play golden baku?

If you own the golden hero portrait [yes]

If you don't [ ? ]

fine... 
so golden baku will give you golden HP even if you dont own a golden hero portrait?

In the reveal stream Mage had a Golden hero power and non-golden Baku, upgraded hero power remained golden.

What if you have a normal hero power and a golden Baku the Mooneater? Does it turn your upgraded hero power golden at the start of the game?

Edit: Just played against a Paladin who played golden Baku. It DOES change a normal hero power into a golden one.

Hey everyone, just wanted to confirm the discussion on this thread with the release of the new expansion -

In the case of Baku the Mooneater -

• If you have a golden hero-power and a non-golden Baku the Mooneater, your hero-power remains golden.
• If you have a Golden Baku and a non-golden hero-power, your hero-power becomes golden.
• And lastly, if both are non-golden, then your hero-power is non-golden (obviously).

In the case of Genn Greymane - Genn Greymane does not affect your hero-power besides changing the cost to one. Thus, if your hero-power is golden, it will stay so regardless of whether or not Genn Greymane is golden. Same goes if your hero-power isn't golden - it stays the same but costs (1).

My rogue goes non golden with baku
