That is how most decks that play many size 1s and 2s do it. They play a couple copies of a size 3 that can board wipe in case they need to get out of a jam fast (since the size 3 would only not be dead in hand if you don't have any non size 0 monsters on board, which is a bad place to be in). Gold here can board wipe.

Of course, now Ghoul exists for ninjas and the Katana HD General is just bonkers in Skulls (now literally every monster in that deck can be revived!), so Gold's usefulness has been waning as of late. Sideboard only, yep.
