Target opponent names a creature card. You may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield that is not of the chosen name.
In limited. come out to play can be a monster, since it pretty much reads "put creature in your hand into play". So likely rare. However, in constructed it get significantly weaker as the meta gets older. How about a consolation price if the creature you want played is named. Srcye? Draw a card?

Purge the Coffers, is actually quite strong. Unfortunately its strong in such a way that makes it difficult to balance without completely ruining the card. At 1 CMC it is by far the strongest graveyard hate available, however being a sorcery makes its uses significantly more limited than its currently used counterparts. However as an instant it would necessitate a cost of at least 3 with the cantrip attached, which makes it nearly useless. I don't think this card could be printed because at 1 and cantripping its too strong but any higher and it just isn't good enough.
Dismissive Swipe, I feel there is a strong reason that such a card doesn't currently exist. The numbers all look fine but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that through testing it was found to be too good.
Come out to Play, out of curiosity why did you make this blue? The effect is solidly green and would have been acceptable at 2GG as a sorcery.

Purge the Coffers is just adding a cantrip to Tormod's Crypt, so I don't see why it is too strong.
Come out to Play is blue because I was thinking about Show and Tell when I made it. You're right it should probably just be mono green.

....Not even close. Tormod's is more powerful, despite the draw.
The problem here is that your opponent has to have a graveyard with juicy cards in it before you can cast it. As such, you will likely never cast it on turn 1. If you're not casting it immediately, then you're a sitting duck to discard, which is exactly what graveyard based combo decks will play, especially on game 2 and 3, and will mulligan into them to cast them on turn 1.
Tormod's on the other hand, you can cast on turn one and watch your opponent squirm around it (assuming you're on the play ). Tormod's is not that great either, because it is also vulnerable to discard on the draw. The draw a card is quaint, but the primary ability does not in any way constitute "strongest graveyard hate available".
