Why would I ever-
*Remembers Sketchy Information*
...Okay, but I'm not sure that's worth playing this card...
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Love the Art ! Interesting card - maybe to overdraw your opponent ?
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Glad that we're not forgetting the extremely obscure sub-archetype Shark Rogue, but...this just isn't good. I don't even think there's any real payoff for coins at this point in time (not since the Penflinger nerf anyways).
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Great with Sketchy Information. Not sure if that will enable some creative miracle deck though.
5 stars for flavor, art, and execution!
Beast Rogue meta will dominate.
Love the art and the flavor here. Rogue always manages to find ways to make extra mana pay off, especially with the combo cards. I'm sure this will be no different.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Love the flavor but giving your opponents coins is always dangerous. I would think of using Mailbox Dancer so I'd get the coin first rather than the other way around even for that extra coin.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
Still, best idea I've heard.
Its just unfortunately trash, unless rogue has some combo in the works this is just never worth it.
First you give your opponent a coin, then he silences/transform this minion and suddenly your behind. Sketchy information gives you two coins straight in exchange for playing a 3 mana nothing, and since rogues cant heal you'd lose tempo and will never regain it.
Had the original malygos still be in standard then I can see why'd you be hoarding coins, but as it stands your best bet is some kind of scabbs win condition with Potion of Illusion and new alex. What other use will there be to have two coins in hand? Ramp rogue? More like a joke to me.
Oh, and hoarding coins means you get rekt by illucia, very hard.
Funny pun, but I don't want to help my opponent to then help myself a little bit more if I can just play cards that only benefit me and don't benefit my opponent.
I"ve never been a fan of these cards that give your opponent a "draw" unless it's heading toward mill
Great card for evolving kappa.
Actually pretty good, especially since you can draw it and trigger the deathrattle with that new spell.

I never found Tomb Pillager to be that useful, and this is even worse.
I wouldn't play this over Tomb Pillager.
Good idea, great flavour... Will have to try this one
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Maybe, but I'll play it for the achievement.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Love the card flavour and design

Cards that help your opponent are generally not so good, this however is still no exception to that fact. Meh card.
Super cool flavor and they still gave Rogue the sharks since Rastakhan's Rumble 😜 Pretty great deathrattle as those coins will be put to good use in rogue
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Flavor. Nothing more... As every deathrattle which has some negative effect... Silence exists.

Symmetrical effects like this have never been good. Ever. This will be no different.

Nah way too hard to use properly

Usefull alongside Sketchy Information, but outside of that it's hard to judge. Maybe it fits in some kind of mill rogue? Just seems kinda meh to me. Giving your opponent a coin can be extremely bad depending on the matchup, even if you get 2 coins on the deathrattle. Just imagine giving a coin to a druid, and basicly giving them a coin so they can get Overgrowth out on turn 3*. (*Implying they didnt ramp to like 5 mana on turn 3.)
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
not useful at all
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
I like your generous rating system ; )
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This might actually be good. With Counterfeit Blade and Sketchy Information it has some interesting synergies and rogues tend to like coins a lot. I'm quite certain someone will find a way to abuse this.
Arena > Wild > Standard
It seems the shark eat some mailboxes.... And their dancers
I like the theme of the card, in practice it looks bad.
You need to make a deck that can take advantage of coins to even make this even remotely worth it.
Super cool art and name! Not sure it'll be worth running, though, as giving your opponent one extra mana can be quite scary in the early game, and the payoff doesn't seem that impactful for the late game
Love the interpretation of the pun with the effect, even if I don't love the gameplay of it. Two Coins is good if you need them for a combo, I guess, but outside that I wouldn't risk it.
