Since card nerfs are on their way, I would like to share some advise that I personally have been enjoying for previous rounds of nerfs: Craft the cards that are getting nerfed if you do not already have them :)
Why? Because if you (like me) are not loaded with magical dust like tinkerbell, this is a great opportunity to play around with the card to see if it is worth spending that hard earned blue gold on. When you are done getting the feel of the card, you should be able to dust it again, without loss, if you do not like it (if dust is refunded akin previous nerfs).
Now, for this round of nerfs, I have one small worry which I hope you can help me with: As I do not have the dust to craft Lunas Pocket galaxy currently, I will have to dust one of my golden legendaries to get the dust - Since this nerf is more or less just a reversal of the buff, is there a reasonable chance that it will not be dustable for the full cost? (dw about the dusting the golden, ive been thinking about it for a while; I never use it, and there are other legendary cards I would prefer to craft)
Already strong, will only be stronger now. Rogue should also continue to be strong especially if there's fewer CW's, the weapon face deck is one of the strongest aggro decks currently, will only be stronger come August 26th.

Zoo should also be good, they got that 3 mana yeti and vulture.
I opened a golden pocket galaxy back in the day. I've had my fun with it so might dust it when it gets nerfed back to 7. It's really unplayable at that mana cost.
I'm missing Zul'Jin so that might be the craft I make this time. I agree with everyone else, Hunter will be OP again.
So I have golden Dr Boom (opened from pack) - I don't care if it's golden or not - I want to maximize the dust, but I want to still have him as a card until he rotates from standard.
So if I'm not mistaken, I should dust him now after nerfs to get 3200(?) dust and then craft him again (not golden) for 1600, right? That way I get 1600 now + 400 after he rotates, while if I don't do that, I get just 1600 after he rotates. Is this correct?
You will not get any dust when he rotates, unless he is rotates prematurely. You are correct that you will gain the most out of your card if you dust him when he is nerfed for 3200 dust and then craft the non-golden version, but it will "only" be the free legendary (1600 dust) that you effectively gets from "downgrading" him from golden to normal :) - The alternative is to get 0 dust.
It just occurred to me that you are possibly talking about dusting him again when he rotates. In that case, you are correct :D

You don't get dust when cards rotate. You'll need to disenchant him, and won't be for full value (400 for Boom, in this case).
But yes, if you want the card and don't care for the golden version, wait for the 26th of August, disenchant, get 3200 dust, craft the normal one for 1600, and still bank on extra 1600. If you disenchant the normal one later you can get more 400 dust.
Don't do what he says. This only works for cards that are hall of famed where you get the dust and keep the card. Don't do things people tell you to do on the net as it usually is bad advice.

Anyway, what do I know...
Craft Hunter, it gonna be broken after nerfs.
Already strong, will only be stronger now. Rogue should also continue to be strong especially if there's fewer CW's, the weapon face deck is one of the strongest aggro decks currently, will only be stronger come August 26th.
If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
Zoo should also be good, they got that 3 mana yeti and vulture.
Hunter will be strong but decks like token druid, murloc paladin, tempo rogue etc have a high win rate against it.
Hunter > Warrior. Aggro > Hunter. Warrior > Aggro. They all counter each other.

Oh absolutely. I might even make a golden Zuzu this time round. If you can't beat em, join em! :D
