As far as I'm aware, official stats from Blizzard is that the player going first is wins a higher % of the time than going second, despite the coin. I'll try and find the source.

User dtech already found the source for me (: -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8020232

Not with all decks though apparently. Freeze mage can benefit from the coin immensely

I appreciate your point about coin being stronger in some decks than others - that doesn't change the fact that across _all_ of the games of hearthstone being played, if you go first you're more likely to win than if you go second.

Miracle rogue too (coin defias ringleader anyone?). Certain rush/zoo decks to get extra minions out faster can be overwhelming.
