Maybe play this on a totally new deck? Like  a combo/control rogue. Turn 1 Zombie Chow, Turn 2 this?

Also rogue has a backstab/other methods to protect it early.

What's Mr Chips doing?

After this card's text has been revealed I don't think this card's effect is strong enough to warrant seeing high level constructed play :(

hmm...Pint-Sized Summoner better?

This minion has same stats as Mad scientist....so the designer really feels this ability is as strong as playing a secret from your deck?!?!?!?!?

Please fire this designer.

I love the idea of this card for Rogue. 2/2 seems difficult to get a coin out of it. I don't think 3 health would be a major difference maker though since most early removal does 3 damage anyways. But this card is interesting to say the least. 

This card should have been named "Turd Burglar."

Love this card. Loooove it. Hard to say if it's actually good enough to be used competitively, but the tempo potential alone means its possible - and of course, the big point - it potentially gives you multiple combo enablers.

One of the best bits about the Coin in rogue is that it enables combo - but you only get it once in every two games, and only once. Being able to get multiples could be very useful - it's at least good with the typical combo cards - SI:7, Oil and Evisc - but makes that 6/7 for 5 a more realistic possibility in a tempo rogue deck, as well as making Perition's Blade more of a possibility (turn 2 Burglar, turn 3 attack, coin, Perdition's, Deadly Poison).

It may not have enough yet to make it a worthwhile 2 drop, but I love cards with potential like this. Good stuff!

wasn't this something that the design community made up? I swear I saw this in fan creations a while ago

Don't forget, this is a class card and Mad Scientist is neutral, so yeah....even more reason to maybe re-evaluate the Mad Scientist considering they feel this Burglar/Thief/PIckpocket is balanced as a class card :P

Mad Scientist is broken...most of us know that =P but this card needs to be waaaay better because it is extremely difficult to trigger its ability.

I would prefer something like 3 Mana 3/2 Battlecry: Put 1 Coin in your hand.

God dammit, why isn't it a 1/4. Looks like rogues aren't gonna get a broken minion while every class already have at least 1

2/2 is a bit underwhelming but the effect is neat and I like the direction Blizz is going here

It will catch all the removals. I will play it, new must-have card for rogue agro.

It seems this card would be best played with Conceal on turn 3.  Your opponent likely won't be able to deal with it, so you can attack with it on turn 4 and then use the coin to bring out a 6/7 Shado-Pan Cavalry.

Things that surely stop you at turn 3:

Every Class: Goldshire Footman, Shieldbearer, Target Dummy, Annoy-o-Tron, Frostwolf Grunt, Unstable Ghoul, Sunfury Protector, Deathlord, Gnomeregan Infantry, Ironfur Grizzly, Lil' Exorcist,
Mage: Mirror Image, Flamecannon, Vaporize, 2x Arcane Explosion, Frost Nova
Paladin: Coghammer
Warrior: Bouncing Blade
Rogue:
Warlock: Voidcaller, Felguard, Demonwrath
Hunter: Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, Deadly Shot
Druid: Mark of the Wild, Anodized Robo Cub, Mark of Nature
Shaman: Ancestral Healing, Lightning Storm, Feral Spirit
Priest:

Things that maybe stop you at turn 3 with luck or coin:

Every Class: Wild Pyromancer, Knife Juggler, Mad Bomber, Ship's Cannon, Tinkmaster Overspark, Arcane Nullifier X-21, Defender of Argus, Dread Corsair, Enhance-o Mechano, Mogu'shan Warden, Sen'jin Shieldmasta
Mage: Arcane Missiles, Flamecannon, Flamewaker, Goblin Blastmage
Paladin: Noble Sacrifice, Consecration
Warrior: Ogre Warmaul
Rogue: Blade Flurry, Sabotage, Fan of Knives
Warlock: Hellfire, Shadowflame, Fel Cannon
Hunter: Flare, Freezing Trap, Misdirection, Houndmaster, Animal Companion
Druid:
Shaman:
Priest: Mass Dispel, Auchenai Soulpriest

you can say there are some cards that will deny your plan :)

I think the only reason mad scientist is so blatantly overpowered is because secrets in general are underpowered and he can be silenced.

Another tempo rogue card just like all the cards revealed before, shame that nobody can see this, cause most people weren't playing this game when tempo rogue was a thing in beta.
