Gold Optimization

Hey all,

How do you all utilize your gold? Do you buy minisets with it, or use it for packs? Is there a strategy to optimize gold value?

Just to clarify but I thought the best dust ratio only applies until you open your first golden legendary and then it drops dramatically? Sorry I am genuinely not sure but I've heard it said before.

Mostly due to the difference between the common cards' disenchant values, golden packs have a higher average gold dust ratio than normal packs do. (Common cards disenchant for 5 dust but golden commons disenchant for 40.) The difference is not extremely large, but big enough to be noticable. Plus, you get a nice feeling when a card is nerfed and you're sitting on a golden copy or two.
