There's a caveat here: once you receive a card, you'll have it marked for "collected" purposes. So if you disenchant a card you've received, it's still considered "owned." So you can't exploit the refund system that way. There's a great benefit to this though: If you don't like a particular card or class, you can disenchant them and not have to worry about getting them in future packs. This "collected" tag lasts forever once you have collected it.
Wanted to be sure before disenchanting leggies i don't want. So i can disenchant my golden Al'ar and i definitely won't be getting it in new packs ever?
Yeah you wouldn’t be getting it again but I think it only applies to it’s golden version so it’s possible you‘ll get it just not golden which is what you don’t want :(
Unlike stated above you can safely DE your golden legendary and you won‘t unpack it. Not golden, not regular. That forum post Geoff linked even supports this, unlike Geoff says.
And in both cases, it's only players discussing without any actual source. I believe it would be logical for goldens to count as owned copies, but on the other hand I was told that goldens count separately.
I guess there's no clear answer without official source (which possibly exists somewhere there)

I actually pasted the wrong link - meant to paste the one I am posting here.
I've disenchanted one of the new priest rare cards in classic I had opened golden and received it back normal in the next pack (I had other rare missing at the time) so I believe the duplicate rule doesn't properly apply between golden and normal copies at least for considering them as owned.
It's not normal we don't have a clear statement from Blizzard for such an important issue in a card collecting game...
Hi guys,
just wanted to check this

Unless you have all other cards from the set, you will not.
EDIT: As Vagachi said, golden cards are treated separately. So you will still be able to get its normal version, unless you have it.
yeah Geoff, thought so too.
this what Vagachi mentioned about golden-non golden. Hopefully it logs golden same as normal as it would be a sad bug :)
are you sure? do you have a link or sth where this is confirmed?
Only a forum thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/6rhw7b/can_you_get_golden_legend_duplicates_after_the/ It probably had to be confirmed officially somewhere, since it's pretty much commonly agreed now that it works this way, but I unfortunately do not follow any Blizzard's social media or forums or articles.

There are pretty much threds contradicting themselves:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/duplicate-protection-and-golden-cards/27328 - this one says golden and no-golden are treated as a playset
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/duplicate-protection-feedback-golden-cards/27518/8 - this one supports the claim, that goldens are treated separately
