Ever wonderer how much dust you needed for having the full set of hearthstone cards?
So come along with a little math.
I did this out of curiosity. I counted the cards, by rarity, excluding the basic ones (but including naxx cards, cause you can craft them too)
and did it for each class, for all non-legendary neutrals, and all legendary neutrals
To have each card of each class, is the same for all the classes, since they have the same amount of rarities each.
Dust needed for:
-All cards of a single class: 6320
-All cards (2 of each) of a single class: since you don't get to use double legend, it's 6320 x2 -3200 (value of 2 legends) wich equals: 9440
-All cards for each class (2 of each,, and 1 legend of each): Since there are 9 classes 9440 x9 = 84960
so for the neutral:
All non-legend neutral: 15120
All non-legend neutral 2 of each card: 15120 x2 = 30240
and for the legendary neutral cards:
We have 43 so far, so all the legendary neutral cards require 1600 x43 = 68800
And finally, if you want to craft every card, two of each, and still have all the legendaries, you would need:
68800 + 30240 + 84960
wich is 184000
And therefore, having all golden collection would require 68800 x2 (the crafting cost is double for legendaries) + 30240 x4 + (84960 - (3200 x9)) x 4 + (3200x9) x2, wich is: 137600 + 120960 + 224640 + 57600 = 540800
Well, maybe a useless thread, but stiil, is only for curiosity, and now all of you know how much dust the whole hearthstone set is worth :)
Your math is substantially off, approximately by half. The amount of dist for a full golden collection is actually about double of what you calculated.

for a little moment I wondered what you are talking about, but then I realized that only the legends use double their value for golden. and everything else uses 4 times the card crafting cost. Sorry about that :(
And thank you for reminding me that, gonna fix it :)
for a total of 98 Commons, 120 rares, 66 epics, 59 Legendarys. Double the common, rares, and epics. C196, R240, E132, Multiply commons by 400, Rares by 800, Epics by 1600, and Legends by 3200 (196*400)+(240*800)+(132*1600)+(59*3200) = 78400+192000+211200+188800 = 670,400 dust to have a completed collection of golden cards.

take half of it the legendaries that aren't worth anything
take half fo cards that are worth anything:4600 dust or 1150 packs
oh and I think you forgot golden naxx?
yeah I think the same about "hardcore completionists", but as I said before, it is really curiosity that moved me to do this
Naxx are included :)

in dust we trust!

10 times more per common
8 times more per rare
4 times more per epic
2 times more per legend
your math is still off:
Classic has:
Common: 40
Rare: 80
Epic: 38
Legends: 33
GvG has:
Common: 40
Rare: 36
Epic: 26
Legendary: 20
Naxx has:
Common: 18
Rare: 4
Epic: 2
Legendary: 6
for a total of 98 Commons, 120 rares, 66 epics, 59 Legendarys.
Double the common, rares, and epics.
C196, R240, E132,
Multiply commons by 400, Rares by 800, Epics by 1600, and Legends by 3200
(196*400)+(240*800)+(132*1600)+(59*3200) =
78400+192000+211200+188800 = 670,400 dust to have a completed collection of golden cards.
