Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.
This card is referencing Coal Golem.

A reference to Coal golem, I like how the flavor texts match up.

I think that its creature type could easily be "elemental golem"

I would play this alongside Priest of Urabrask, Geosurge, and Ball Lightning. Maybe also Seething Song and Elemental Appeal, just for the lulz.
Coal Stoker is also good with Minion Reflector. Why yes, I'd love a better-than-free copy. Why not make that deck with Parallel Lives, Doubling Season, and/or Dual Nature just for really awkward mana-ramp?
@Capt13:
If a card says "Add {MANA} to your mana pool," that mana only lasts until the next time your pool empties (probably at the end of the phase), unless it specifies otherwise (e.g. Sakiko, Mother of Summer). It is NOT like you get to search for three Mountains and put them into play.

It's similar to a red Priest of Gix, only hardier and costlier.

@ Shadoflaam
The cards are just different, getting this guy at mostly free, really changes the strategies over getting (this weaker guy) Priest of Urabrask for 'free'.

What's that, you say? A free Ball Lightning with that 3/3? Don't mind if I do.

can be good for a storm deck.
Recently got a lot better when they took out mana-burn.
