As my collection keeps growing, so are the number of golden cards I have. The collection manager is poorly designed, and having golden cards alongside normal cards makes it even worse. So my idea is that golden cards should be an upgrade of existing cards, replacing them. If you disenchant a golden, you get the standard version of the card. If you have one golden, one normal, the golden one will be displayed first (on top), but on zoom in you will see both alongside so you can choose which one to use/upgrade/downgrade.
Golden cards replacing normal ones? Hell no. I like my normal ones. I want golden for collection purposes too, but I prefer not to play with them. It will be very inconvenient to replace cards with more clicks than before.
I agree that this would be pretty neat. Especially when it comes to Soulbound cards... I mean why would I play the non golden one once I've unlocked the golden ones ? Plus they can't be disenchanted (even for 0 dust, that would be fine) so it's pretty annoying to have them just sit there.
On the other hand, from a marketing standpoint, it's a bad idea.
Let's assume you could dust a Golden Legendary for 1200 dust and keep the non golden one (which is still worth 400; 1200 + 400 = 1600). That means you get your legendary and 75% of another one... Same goes for epics, rares would wield 80% of another rare and commons approximately 112.5% !
Now on to upgrading. As of now, if I have the non golden version of a card, I need 395/780/1500/2800 dust to get the golden one. With your idea, I would only need 360/700/1200/1600...
The average value of card packs would go up, and that effectively means you would need to buy less packs for completion.
Although it would be great for us players, for Blizzard it would be a pretty big money loss, so I don't see it happen.
I think the user should just have an option to only display gold cards if possible. So if you checked this option, and only had one golden copy, it would be displayed like normal... but if you had two golden copies, the regular one would disappear until the option is changed.
Also, I personally like to disenchant non-golden cards once I get the golden versions. This can be quite time-consuming. I'd like it if I had the option to automatically disenchant non-golden "doubles."
Finally, I'd like the OPTION to have golden cards that I own in arena. Like if I draft 3 Wisps, but only have one golden Wisp, then one golden Wisp would be in my arena deck. Hell, it doesn't even have to display to the opponent. I just get so used to marveling at some of the fancier animations, that I miss it a lot in arena! Also, as a primary arena player, this WOULD encourage me to earn more golden cards.
Funnily enough, years later, it’s even worse since patch 20.0, as the « missing » keyword is broken and shows cards as missing when you actually have golden versions of them.

You make less money when you do the upgrade route.

Yeah, since I have some random gold cards running across my collection, sometimes it's really annoying to look through all of them...
it takes up a lotta places
