This ancient artifact allows you to transform other enemy creatures into gold! It takes awhile to recharge, but can pay for itself if you make one soon enough. It's extremely useful against certain dota heroes who might rely on creeps or summons. The hand can take one of them out with a single click.

+30% attack speed.
Bonus ability given (on Hand of Midas activation):
Transmute. Turns target creep (non-magic immune) into a small amount of gold.
There is a cooldown of 100 seconds on this Defense of the Ancients ability.

Who buys this?
The hand of midas is very situational and doesn't really fit into any builds. Basically, if you're not having trouble farming, it might be a good idea to grab one. Otherwise, like everything else in defense of the ancients, it depends...
