I don't play Wild, and for all the reasons that I'm aware of, I have no reason why I should play it. I don't play Duels, either.
On the other hand, I play Standard a lot. Since all Wild cards come back to Standard as Core set (aka for free), there's no reason to keep them, while I want to craft powerful Legendaries like Kazakus.
Is there a reason that I don't know yet about why I should keep Wild cards?
standaard can be pretty expensive with all the set rotations, in wild most decks don't change that much over time. So if you're free-2-play player, I would recommend wild over standaard, and I would keep those wild cards (unless there terrible)
disenchant your wild cards and you will regret sooner or later

agree, wild is so much cheaper to play (if you are not new player), from new expansions you need few good specific cards for your decks and thats all.
I thought about this very often but I do Play duels so it's a different thing.
Here is what I did after my comeback. I hand picked cards, one by one, making sure I only disenchant goldens when I had the basic ones and also all cards that are definitly trash, including useless legendary.
This gave me a truckload of dust and a super quick comeback without the feeling of deleting my whole colection.
As a wild player, i can tell you that its worth, after so many games against secret mages and aggro paladin and murloc shamans i got super tired of the decks there, decided to try standard this season and been having a lot of fun honestly, i dusted most of my bad or unplayable wild legendaries and epics and crafted some fun standard decks, i did keep some of my favorite decks in case i decide to come back to wild, decks like togwaggle druid and razakus priest and shudderwock shaman, so i suggest you do the same dust bad cards keep cool cards that you think you might come back to soon.
I just disenchant the cards that I believe will never be functional in wild. If you analyse the cards every year or so, you can disenchant more. There is so much powercreeping going on that some legendaries from old sets are worse than current rares.

This is pretty much what I started doing. I did used to dust everything and I have regretted that a bit. I started playing wild last month (having previously been absolutely sure I never, ever would) and was glad I'd changed my approach. I'd kept cards like zilliax and others, clearly good cards. Anything fringe or for a deck/archetype I just don't enjoy, such as some old legendary that only really fits in like token druid, for example, then I dusted those.
I've actually found wild to be a ton of fun and kind of evidence that a lot of absolute nonsense gets spouted on places like this, by people who seem more interested in spreading discontent about the game than anything else. From what I'd heard, wild was a broken mess the devs don't care about it, it has stupid decks and combos etc etc. I've actually found it really quite diverse much, much more so than standard. I don't cover up against the really string 'broken' decks all that often and even when I do, I've been able to get a good amount of wins against them, once I know what they are about. I used highlander mage, espionage rogue and a sky temple quest mage and hit diamond 2 without any real effort.
I would personally recommend saving the good wild cards at least. They are so inefficient from a cost perspective to craft that unless you absolutely need the dust, just leave them. Of course, if you want a specific card or deck and have no dust, you probably may as well. I'd just only do it as and when it was really needed. Don't dust cards just to sit on dust.
@ OP: For how long have you been playing Hearthstone?
If you started 4+ years ago and never had and still have 0 interest to ever play Wild, Duels or the occasional Wild-inclusive collection-based Tavern Brawls, then there's really not much of a reason to hold on to cards you never want to use again, and I wouldn't tell you otherwise.
However, if you've started playing Hearthstone like a year or two ago, I'd recommend you to postpone your decision. Wild is definitely a mode that doesn't seem interesting at first but gets more and more interesting as time passes.
Just consider that you might grow attached to a specific card or deck you want to keep playing beyond its time in Standard. Or you might open a new Standard card and want to try it out with cards that have rotated already. For example, Firemancer Flurgl is not very impressive in Standard, but pushed Murloc Shaman in a good position in Wild. Or you might get bored/annoyed by Standard one day and want to try something different. In that case, you'll feel much better having at least a small number of decent cards in Wild you can use for deckbuilding.
If you've played the game long enough to know that you'll never look back, go for it. Otherwise, I think there's a possibility that you might get regret your decision someday.
There's also a tiny chance cards like Moorabi will get dust refund or patched in the next 10 years.
Not really... What happens more frequently is that some niche use comes up because of new synergies.
My math is that that chance has to be about 1/4 for legendaries for it to be worth saving, which it definitely isn't. 4 cards you don't play<1 card you do play.
That being said, I haven't done that much myself yet, but that is because I haven't had the need for dust yet.
I dusted all my old cards when I came back to HS after a year. I really regret it now because I love playing wild now and have to craft everything again…
I play since release and never spent a dime in the game. Disenchant wild cards: it's a cesspool anyway and the dust will last you forever. I disenchanted everything not standard and never even remotely regret it.
I want that in bold print if u disenchant ur wild cards cause if I see another post saying well you guys said it’s a safe bet and now u have no wild cards for duels or wild or tavern brawl or anything else they will add in the future. I cam Almost bet money on it you be back bitching bout how disenchanted ur cards now u have nothing. I can see the post now .

Unless there is a chance you might someday want to play something other than standard, no, there is not.
If you only play standard just disenchant it.

i did it after old gods and i regret it so much...
dont disenchant them, over time you will be bored with standard and wild will be great fun mode to play.

I would not bother with commons and rares, you need to DE too many to get a relevant amount of dust.
Bad Epics and Legendaries... Yes, if you do some research you can DE them pretty safely, and you will rarely regret it.

The answers are very mixed. I can't decide yet. I'll think of it more. Thank you for your answers.
