What we're talking about are golden copies of the former Basic cards. That should be the group of cards that could net quite some dust for the majority of players IF it is possible to disenchant them. Which I strongly doubt to be honest.
The non-golden copies of former Basic cards are a different topic, since they might be useful in the new Classic mode, Wild or a future game mode we don't know about yet.
We should also keep in mind that they'll all be converted to common cards, so even if it is possible to disenchant them, you won't get rich unless your class levels are high and/or you commit to only ever play Standard (which advise against as well).
I (and many other old players who don't really care for Wild/Classic) now have the option to dust massive amounts of classic cards.
Even just dusting all the golden basic cards will net you nearly 9 legendaries worth of dust! I plan on keeping the rest because I do play Wild, and want to check out the Classic mode, but even just those golden basic cards will amount to some good savings. I could save the dust to get some of the new cards I miss or maybe use it as an investment towards older cards I always wanted but never opened.
This is getting off topic now, but I'd like to talk about dusting policy if somebody's interested. As far as I know, classic cards will still be available in the new Classic Mode and in Wild, so dusting them is possible but should be considered wisely in case you need them for one or both of those modes.
I'm not so sure about Basic cards though. Are you sure it will be possible to dust them? I somehow remember having read that it isn't. If you're right, that's really great news!
I think DapperDog made a better deck, however that it still isn't perfect imo. What is the goal of Arbor Up in the deck? Is to an Anubisath Defender trigger? I'd personally put at least one more dragon into the deck, and this seems to be the perfect card to cut.
I agree, but we have to be careful not to put too many minions into the deck. Evasive Drakonid might be a good choice.
It's not Kathrena and after having read the wiki I'm not sure if it's a cryptogram to be honest. :D
Hint: It's a card name and the number of letters in both words has not been changed. I would appreciate it if you would try to break the code instead of brute force guessing cards that have a matching number of letters though.
Lol that was more or less a blind guess because I couldn't think of another Standard card that summons 4 minions that attack immediately (I deduced these points from the hints).
Nice one, thanks for the write up! Any chance Hunter gets the Night Elf? Sometimes I wish that class was on the evil side just for some more bad assery.
I can't contribute much, but maybe we can go a little deeper in detail. I think it is the Warlock mercenary that creates something like a portal in the cinematic, with a big entity looking out of it. Summoning Demons again would be a bit boring so shortly after Willow, so what could she be doing instead? You say she's a Forsaken, so do you think Resurrect Warlock could be a thing?
You've got a point there, but there's also precedent in the Tyrande offer. It was also confirmed that they're thinking about adding older portraits and card backs to the shop after some exclusivity time. That argues for gold payment imho.
Interesting, I actually had not thought about the price. But since Darkmoon Races was 2.000 gold or 15 bucks I guess 2.000 would be a decent price for a Hero Portrait. Yeah, I think I'd pay up to 2.500.
Nice! Sylvanas was one of two heros I was really hoping for to return. I'd like her for my Deathrattle decks. Same goes for Lazul and the Scrying decks. Fingers crossed we'll be able to pay with gold!
I'd start out with Johnny, because there are only two anomaly cards in the game: Cosmic Anomaly and Arcane Anomaly. Assuming all the "fallen" have something in common, my first guess is that they are all "arcane" minions with the Elemental tribe. There are only six of them.
Tommy, who went against a blade, might be Arcane Tyrant who fought against Blade of C'Thun or Nightblade (I'll ignore Weapons for now, there are far too many)
So this is probably all wrong, but it was fun. My guess is that the person speaking the toast is the master of them all who is left with his servant, Arcane Servant.
First Day of School?
Ruststeed Raider, because it's a lovely day!

That's right NerdyMcNerd! You're next :-)
Come on, it's nice to try something new from time to time. If it proves to be too hard, I'll give major hints.
Here's something that might be helpful: the seventh and the eighth letter in the second word are the same.
It's not Kathrena and after having read the wiki I'm not sure if it's a cryptogram to be honest. :D
Hint: It's a card name and the number of letters in both words has not been changed. I would appreciate it if you would try to break the code instead of brute force guessing cards that have a matching number of letters though.
Anyways, here's the next riddle. I have no idea if this is too hard but I've wanted to try something like this for a while.

Lol that was more or less a blind guess because I couldn't think of another Standard card that summons 4 minions that attack immediately (I deduced these points from the hints).
Hm. There is Big Ol' Whelp with 5 attack for Billy; Illidari Felblade for Tommy; Cosmic Anomaly for Johnny; and the last one went to face (which hinted at a Hunter card?).
It makes sense I guess, but the hints were dearly needed.
Nagrand Slam?

Alright, so it is Cosmic Anomaly we're starting out with. I'll check for Spell Damage +2 then.
Billy is Celestial Emissary because he has 1 Health
Tommy could be Azerite Elemental who went against Gorehowl, one of the most famous blades in the game
Johnny is Cosmic Anomaly
And if I add the Elemental tag to the filter, that leaves only Imprisoned Phoenix. Is it that one?
I'd start out with Johnny, because there are only two anomaly cards in the game: Cosmic Anomaly and Arcane Anomaly. Assuming all the "fallen" have something in common, my first guess is that they are all "arcane" minions with the Elemental tribe. There are only six of them.
Billy, who headbutted a whelp and died, might be Arcane Artificer who went against Twilight Whelp
Tommy, who went against a blade, might be Arcane Tyrant who fought against Blade of C'Thun or Nightblade (I'll ignore Weapons for now, there are far too many)
Johnny is Arcane Anomaly (see above)
That leaves us with Arcane Devourer, Arcane Amplifier and Arcane Servant.
So this is probably all wrong, but it was fun. My guess is that the person speaking the toast is the master of them all who is left with his servant, Arcane Servant.
That's right!
A "basic enrage minion" is Gurubashi Berserker and the legendary convict is Leeroy Jenkins, whose last meal is chicken. Well done!
Nope.
Again, PopeNeia almost had it. Also: DestroyerR was right to ask if basic was important, it is.
Both are wrong, PopeNeia is closer though.
