In standard, right now, the coin is less of a problem or controversial than its ever been imo.
The game (while not having the purest of agro decks or the past) is arguable in its overall fastest state with matches being the shortest ever on average. When was the last time anyone experienced a 40+ minute match in standard?
My point: going first has always been the advantage and in the current state of short matches, going first is an even bigger advantage producing t4/5 wins consistently in the current standard meta. The coin is no more than a token that feels bad, even as a spell right now it does not have much added value. Maybe in days of yore for mage quest and Uber rogue combos but that argument has no validity in the current standard meta, arena or duels.
TL:DR the advantage of the coin doesn't exist in the current meta and probably won't cha get in the future given the direction of the game.

Other than a quest priest game can't last much more than 10 to 15 minutes on the long side because you know, the quest...
So didn't happen mate.
