    Invoke cards are overcosted so this can be seen as a refund. 3 coins can enable pretty nasty combos too. Coin is the best rogue card since day 1. It can work imo

    turn 1:Pharaoh Cat (or any sticky 1 drop)

    turn 2: Praise Galakrond! twice (alternate play: just 1 and play one lackey)

    turn 3: lackey or something. (alternate play, the overcosted backstab)

    turn 4: Umbral Skulker + coin lackey

    turn 5: coin + coin + galakrond + play 2 0 cost cards..

    well now this is a really strong curve

    Or as Trump mentioned already, use the coins for the good ol' Auctioneer stuff, combined with Eddi. So it is really dangerous card, maybe the underdog of the expansion.

    Do you really need those coins? Your Galakrond already will draw you 2 0-cost cards.

    Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!

    3 coins are always useful, especially in rogue. Also considering the rogue galakrond hero power, invoking is quite good and there are some nice invoke cards already, so this card will see play considering the strenght of rogue galakrond deck. It's good to say that 3 coins can be consistent combo enabler which is great in rogue.

    Seems very strong, especially for allowing some huge swing turns given how many bounce/battlecry duplications Rogue has. And also has some good meme/OTK potential as well on the "cards played this turn" mechanic for Edwin VanCleef or Spectral Pillager

    This won't see play for one simple reason: stats. Tomb pillager is a good comparison for this. while it gave one coin t«it was aggressive enough for the two main rogue archetypes: Miracle and tempo. 

    3 coins won't save the card. even if you justify a big edwin, it means you did a weak play the turn before.

    Strong Card for Miracle, but I dont think we're gonna see much of that Archetype.

    I mean, what are you gonna do with big Minions except crying after they get removed?

    On the other Hand, I think this is way more suited for Combos ( Maly + Scheme + Galakrond + Coins → ?)

    Would go great in my custom expansion, where the Coins generated can be used for other things. As it stands, this makes sense in a Miracle deck, of which I do not play. So...pass.

    Coin generators are one of the most powerful stuff in Rogue regardless which theme they are designed.

    and this gives 3 coins. 3 coins make Edwin VanCleef single-handedly 8/8.

    If you invoked twice and holding Edwin VanCleef, it means you will have 3/3 and 10/10 at turn 4 !

    Ok, that's a lucky one, but really frustrating.

    Compared to Veiled Worshipper the stats seem a bit lackluster, but I'm definitely looking forward to a miracle based Tempo Rogue. Coins + Auctioneer have always been a good combination and with Edwin and a lot of Lackey's, I'm getting excited :D

    Coins are great, especially in Rogue, and so this seems like it could be an important tool for the deck. Seems like a great card.

    Rogue likes coins.

    Auctioneer likes coins.

    Questing Adventurer likes coins

    Edwin likes coins.

    There's a lot you can do with 3 of them.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    History tought as that Coins are valuable so this is obviously an insane effect. Rogue with Questing Adventurers, Edwin and Gadgetzan Auctioneers are looking to be solid. Lets hope for some kind of finisher though, as the Leeroy + Shadowstep combo is getting old.

    You have galakrond as a finisher. when fully invoked, you will get a 5/2 weapon, which is already (almost) the same amount of damage you would be getting from leeroy/shadowstep. And you also get four free cards off the top of your library. 

    Galakrond/Miracle/Lackey rogue looks like it will be a very solid deck. All of the invoke cards are pretty good, and you also have amazing tempo plays like unbral skulker, galakrond, and heistbarron togwaggle.

    A card that’ll either end up being entirely useless because Galakrond decks aren’t good enough, or will be one of the most threatening cards in the deck

    Very powerful effect. As we all know already, Rogue can do some seriously crazy things with coins.

    I do foresee a Galakrond, the Nightmare tempo deck being a thing, and this card will certainly give you some very big tempo plays if you can activate it on curve. Really the cards playability relies on there being half decent Invoke activators being printed.

    3 coins are not a small amount; the card works after only two invoke, and thanks to the low cost of rogue only invoke cards sometimes it will work as soon as turn 4, and probably will be game winning. Just imagine on turn 5 playing a lackey and Togwaggle and on turn 6 drawing 3 cards that cost zero and still having 3 mana and a coin. 

    Obvioulsy having it active on turn 4 requires an almost perfect hand, but still the three coins are good even some turns later. For example they helps a lot with a spirit of the shark turn, that maybe will return to be played thanks to the invoke cards that adds lackey to your hand.

    Overall pretty strong.

    If Galakrond decks will play this card is a must include. Stats and the battlecry are very good for a price. But as always rogue will need to survive long enough to play such cards.

    In a class that uses combo cards and likes to cheat mana, I can see this being used in Galakrond decks to good effect.
    Combo the Coins with cards like Questing Adventurer and Arcane Devourer for a good time.

    Obtain 3 or 6 coin in Rouge can be really interesting, but this car need a deck that ensure a double invoke in the mid game.

    Moreover Galak's rouge deck seem value oriented and not tempo oriented...so that can be a problem for this card

    Works great with a lot of things, such as auctioneer, or Edwin, or really any combo cards. You could also cheat out a minion 3 turns earlier. also seems nuts with shadow step and spirit of the shark.

    Rogue as a class uses coins extremely well, so they are valuable no matter what. Plus, you can play this before galakrond so I dont see how his battlecry makes this worse.

    Extremely powerful so long as the Invokes are there. Rogue can make great use of 0-cost card and great use of any extra mana they can squeeze out. This is huge, but again brings the caveat of absolutely NEEDING two Invokes to happen first, meaning this might not be a reliable turn 4 play.
