Trade Prince Gallywix


 * For the boss of the same name, see Trade Prince Gallywix (boss).

Trade Prince Gallywix is a legendary rogue minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set. His triggered effect produces Gallywix's Coin.

Strategy
This card is expensive, but very strong against spell heavy decks, as it will discourage the removal of him through anything but direct minion damage. A very strong tempo card if you can get it out onto an empty board.

Prince Gallywix's ability can backfire if the other player has Questing Adventurer, a minion that gains +1/+1 with each card played by its owner. The opposing player can play a spell (which gives the Adventurer +1/+1), gain a Gallywix's Coin and play that (which gives the Adventurer a second +1/+1 buff), then use the extra Mana to play more cards (and buff the Adventurer some more). Additionally, Gallywix's Coin counts for Open the Waygate quest completion, as well as providing fuel for Flamewaker.

Trivia

 * The original design for this card was along the lines of "Swap your hero's Health with your opponent's hero's Health." According to Balance Designer Dean Ayala, it "took about one game til we were like damn..... nope." Another design saw Gallywix's Battlecry swap the player's hand with the opponent's. This effect came to a reality many years later with Mindrender Illucia.
