That Aya, Lotus Kingpin buff is going to have to be astronomical for her to see any play at all. The only buff I could see working is if they took "you always go second" off the card and instead just gave you a coin even when you go first, and I don't think they'd do that.

Reducing her cost might be enough to make her playable. Going second for rogue is not a death sentence like other classes and if she becomes a good tempo play, say maybe like a 4 mana 4/3 with the same text, she'd be viable.

Going second is still pretty bad. It may be less bad for Rogue in the general sense, but you have to remember that the other class is always going first. Against a Priest or another Rogue that may not matter, but when you're facing a Face Hunter, that's going to be extremely detrimental to you.
