Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Not sure it is worth the cost. Best flower veil mons have a good second type and aren't just pure grass. In my eyes you are better of using Good as Gold on your pokemon and terra in a better type. It could work in some situation but in my eyes there are options that are better.
Am I the only one thinking Good as Gold is really boring? I don't think it is broken at all but games against double Good as Gold teams just don't have the same flavour as against any other team. You know that the only way to win is pure damage and you can not be excited by a clutch poison...

I am for a suspect of opportunist. I have seen it played on all types of pokemon, at all elo in about half my games. It restricts creativity because not playing it is a clear disadvantage. It is so good that a lot of players don't bother pairing it with magic bounce but just play double...
