disenchanting my rag + crafting golden rag + disenchanting golden rag in rotation + crafting normal rag in rotation nets a profit of 400 dust...

No I think it actually is just 1600 dust either way.
If you have a normal rag, you get 1600.
If you craft a golden rag, it costs 3200. You then get 3200. You're at 0 net. You de the golden rag you get 1600.
I was wrong, it's 1600 dust either way.
disenchant normal rag = +400
craft golden rag and holding golden rag at time of rotation = no change in dust
crafting normal rag at time of rotation = -1600
net = -1200
???
true, I'm having a hard time thinking in all these news, yeah it is a 0 profit compared to just letting the rag give me the 1600 dust

Disenchant golden rag after rotation = +1600
net = +400
Am i missing something here? You get full value back, and still have the card which can be dusted.

Welp, have all the goldens of those cards now. Going to be getting like 10.4k dust once the rotation happens, then add in the extra 500ish from disenchanting the normal versions and yeah, not too bad. Can't go wrong with free golden cards.

No that was included:
disenchant normal rag = +400
craft golden rag and holding golden rag at time of rotation = no change in dust
crafting normal rag at time of rotation = -1600
disenchant golden rag = +1600
net = +400
Or just disenchant normal rag = +400
craft golden rag and holding golden rag at time of rotation = no change in dust
net = +400 and rag upgraded to golden
there's no profit, only getting golden cards for free. so you can effectively upgrade to golden cards and also get the dust costs of dusting the normal versions of cards if you already have them.
so for example if you have 1 normal rag and choose to craft a golden rag and dust the normal rag, you'll be netting 400 dust
if you do nothing, then you'll get 1600 dust

This is incorrect.
Golden Rag: 3200
Golden Sylv: 3200
2x Drakes: 800 + 800
2x Conceal: 400 + 400
2x Ice Lance: 400 + 400
2x Power O: 400 + 400
10,400 free dust if you have all of them golden.
If you then disenchant them at the reduced number, that's an additional 1600 + 1600 + (100 * 2) + (50 *6) = 3700 dust. So if you craft them all right now and disenchant later, you will get a 3700 dust profit. (although if you have 10k dust sitting around to take advantage of this, you probably have them in golden already, let's be honest.)

So basically a 1200 dust upgrade cost instead of the usual 2800 dust, counting opertunity cost.
Let's say you have Standard Rag and 3200 dust on Hand
Craft Golden Rag = -3200 Dust, 0 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Standard Rotates = +3200 Dust, 3200 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Disenchant Golden Rag = +1600 Dust, 4800 dust on hand, Regular Rag in Collection
4800 dust - 3200 dust = +1600 net dust
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or if you want to upgrade to a Golden Rag
Craft Golden Rag = -3200 Dust, 0 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Standard Rotates = +3200 Dust, 3200 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Disenchant Regular Rag = +400 Dust, 3600 dust on hand, Golden Rag in Collection
3600 dust - 3200 dust = +400 net dust, plus Rag is now Shiny
Craft Golden Rag = -3200 Dust, 0 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Standard Rotates = +3200 Dust, 3200 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Disenchant Golden Rag = +1600 Dust, 4800 dust on hand, Regular Rag in Collection
4800 dust - 3200 dust = +1600 net dust
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or if you want to upgrade to a Golden Rag
Craft Golden Rag = -3200 Dust, 0 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Standard Rotates = +3200 Dust, 3200 dust on hand, Regular Rag and Golden Rag in Collection
Disenchant Regular Rag = +400 Dust, 3600 dust on hand, Golden Rag in Collection
3600 dust - 3200 dust = +400 net dust, plus Rag is now Shiny
so.... getting dust for having rag.
if I have gold rag and regular rag do i get 1600 3200 or 4800 dust back?
if it works like this, i plan to never touch wild so Ill probably break down most of my upcoming wild cards to craft golden copies. of things.

2^5 * 100
yea that's the problem for me, i don't have these liquid dust amounts sitting around to get the free golden upgrades. FeelsBadMan

So if you have none of them, is it worth crafting a ragnaros to get the card and dust back?
3200 dust.
Yes. If you can float the dust, you're effectively getting the card for free.
Definitely. I'm F2P as well but I still have more fun earning gold for packs than for adventures. I don't really try to get everything. I just focus on the classes I prefer. The bonus dust from Blizzard will help.

I have a nice amount of dust stored up to try the gold trick, but also having a panic attack incase I waste the dust crafting Gold Legadieries. I am pretty sure I would actually quit the game if I crafted the Golds, but Blizzard did not do the refund as expected.

So with the move to 3 expansions per year I'm guessing the release schedule becomes pretty set with April, August, December.

I know what cards I'm going to see in every Wild deck from now on!
I don't like it either, but if the daily bonus + missions are good enough, it might be a change for the better in the long run

not going greedy just in case, goint to just craft regular silvanas
if you have the normal ones, no, you should not craft them unless you really want them golden, crafting them while having the normal one means less profit since only counts either normal or golden ones, not both
Wow, I was going to say that I was mad that I crafted Rag and Sylvanas because I assumed that Classic cards would never leave but,
That does help ease the pain. Still a bit bummed, it was fun putting those cards in the standard decks but I understand their versatility.
Wish they would have done that with rotations lol.

Guess I'm crafting Rag and Sylvanas as I don't have either.
Lol, without fail. Half your games until rank 15 will be against Malchezar decks.
Yeah but then I can just disenchant the golden one immediately after and gain a free 1600 dust, right?
EDIT: Oh, I guess I would get the 1600 dust profit either way. But I could craft free goldens, which is tempting.

Crafting goldens and holding them are basically a cost of 1200 dust each.
But I guess crafting and then disenchanting them after rotation is basically a free rental of the golden card.

Are they going to remove rotated classic cards from classic packs?
If you don't have sylvanas and don't want sylvanas after rotation, you actually profit 400 for crafting her in the regular, and 1600 for crafting her in the golden form then disenchanting.
Right. I can either gain 400 dust plus the golden Legendary. Or just gain 1600 dust.

I was hoping for more card rotations, but rag and sylvanas were two I had pegged for wanting to rotate at least.
I'm not as thrilled about azure drake. In part, I want to see it rotate since so many decks use it. But also, it's one of the few strong spell power cards in the entire game's history and is a mechanic I like.
Auctioneer not rotating doesn't really bother me. Rogue is losing pillager and now conceal as well. Maybe counterfeit coin is enough to keep it alive but I somewhat doubt that. Miracle rogue wasn't being played before pillager was introduced in LOE.

I feel bad for drake since it is one of the staple dragons and one of the few good dragons that would have made it out of the rotation. They made all this support for Dragon Priest and now they are burying it. Hope the new set is the dragons of dragon mountain.
The rest make sense. The announcement makes me believe there are more announcements incoming. I really don't see Leeroy lasting long as well.

I believe that's a given, but I don't know if they have said that

If you have 2 copies of a card, a golden and a non-golden, you only receive full refund once.
Fair rule. Don't reward people hoarding cards in the hope of nerfs. Maybe they'll be slightly less hesitant to nerf in the future as a result.

Rotating just these few classic cards out of standard feels like a typical half step from Team 5. What they really need to do is a revamp of the classic set and call it the core set. Put some of the cards into wild and rebalance through new cards and reprints.
