Hearthstone ProTip: Disenchanting Your Non-Golden Duplicates More Easily
And we're not talking about the mass disenchant button!
Hearthstone's Collection Manager is a lot smarter than many give it credit. The development team has added certain keywords to the search engine which helps you find exactly what you need, in our case today, those pesky duplicate cards.
For most, the mass disenchant button works wonders. If you have 3 of a card or an extra legendary, you can very easily hit this button to make them all go away and use that new dust to craft one of those new overpowered Quest cards. But what about that golden card you don't want because you already have two non-golden copies, or the inverse?
Simply entering "extra" into the search field will bring up all your cards that you can potentially discard to bring you back down to the two copies of each limit. In my case, I prefer Golden cards so as I click on the normal versions and disenchant them, the Collection Manager removes each card from the extra listing when I hit the max copies you can use in a deck.
This has saved me plenty of time when I'm trying to maximize my dust return from those pesky card packs which give me dupes as I previously would painstakingly go through my collection and do the same thing. I hope this helps you too!
Bonus: Missing Cards in Your Collection
What if you wanted to find just the missing cards in your collection to see if you have anything worthy of crafting? Well you can do that too by typing in "missing" into the Hearthstone collection manager's search box!
The missing keyword will immediately bring you into crafting mode and show you cards that you don't have two total copies of (or 1 for Legendaries). This can be very useful to remind yourself of any cards you may want to grab a second of that you could potentially include in your next deck creation or simply a way to help complete that entire collection, provided of course you have the dust!
I really should consider crafting The Black Knight...
Origin Story
These keywords haven't always been in Hearthstone. They were added back in Patch 4.2.0 which introduced Lady Liadrin, More Deck Slots, and the Old Gods pre-order among other features.
This post was inspired by a recent reddit thread. It seems to not be very common knowledge!
I noticed that there're no videos about it so I made one

Honestly had no idea about this, thanks for the tip ^.^
I knew about extra, but not missing.
really nice to know
So....they are smarter than we give them credit.....right?
So if there weren't third party sites like this one,their forums,posts,patch releases and the game UI don't even mention it,or if it does they don't remind you.
Thank you, Fluxflashor for giving us info and reminding us about this kinda of things!
Oh my god, thank you! I've been looking for this option for so long ^^
Do you know if it's working on spanish?
All languages just search in Google:
¡Explora tu colección de Hearthstone como nunca antes! (Latinoamerica)
¡Realizad búsquedas como nunca lo habéis hecho en vuestra colección de Hearthstone! (España)
lets say if you had 2 golden preparations and 1 non gold preparation, will it filter?
It will show you both golden and non-golden preps, until you only have 2 copies of the card, either disenchanting a golden or de non-golden.

This is what i've needed for last 3 years! At last! GW Blizz.
Seriously it's very helpful cause I prefer golden over regular
Pro tips! Looks like Patch 4.2.0 really blazed a new path for the HS Collection and how to manage it!
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks!
Also may be handy to note that it will accept additional key words. Example missing legendary will only show the missing legendary cards...
Thanks for sharing this tip, indeed I didn't know about it and it's most useful!
