Yes, well this is where the peculiar nature of the transmute comes in. There are occasions when the conversion from one type or card to another is very useful. Adventurers, ventures, scrying pools, and vineyards come to mind. You can also sometimes exhaust the transmute pile quickly if you want to empty 3 piles. If you can regularly draw your deck you can transmute a copper to a transmute just so you can transmute it to a duchy the following turn. Maybe you can defend against pirates by turning all your copper into transmutes, who knows?

This is why I wish Big Money was a slower strategy. There are so many cards out there that provide such unique and interesting interactions, but some of these strategies get stomped by Big Money (or more efficient engines) before they even come to light.
That doesn't stop me from buying Transmute for the fun of it, though.
