Jokeboard and 1v1 weakness(?) —July 9, 2017
So I've officially made a sideboard full of cards that aren't legal in my deck (Odds / Ends, Goblin Bookie, Mana Screw, Dumb Ass) that I can ask every pregame if the other players would let me use them.
This deck's ability to perform in a 1v1 is hard to chart. Sometimes, I get nothing as my opponents pummel me with their entire deck, other times I get off a Chance Encounter + Frenetic Efreet junk combo if I'm in a pickle.
My goal is not to make coin flip tribal competitive, but rather fun to play for everyone involved. Multiplayer is where this deck thrives, though. Win or lose, any game I play with this baby is fun so I chalk it up as a win.

Wrigz I greatly appreciate that, thank you! I will continue to spread gambling and joy where ever this deck and I go!

+1 from me. My buddy plays a coin flip deck and it is fun to play, regardless of winning or losing. If you are having fun you win regardless of the outcome. Goblin Game seems like it would be right up your alley. The randomness of it is so great and the way we do it is each player writes down a number and then all reveal at the same time. Good luck

+1 I also wanted to make a deck like this, but never really got to make a complete list.

I just want to say thanks so much for brewing this deck up. I played it against my group and was dying of laughter the entire time. Planar Chaos really is hilarious.

I can't wait to give this a shot at my group. I'm eager to see the looks on their faces when they ask what my win condition is and I gleefully tell them I have none. I did make a few edits and threw in a Stranglehold and a Price of Glory.

friday6700 Glad you like the deck! I hope it gives you all a laugh, although I do have 1 infinite win combo Chance Encounter + Frenetic Efreet ( but that's only if I'm desperate )

KeelHaul10 I couldn't find Chance Encounter or Stitch in Time at our local stores in time for last nights game so I really could only screw with the board. But I did manage to ult Ral Zarek with Krark's Thumb on the field and got five turns in a row. It was a lot of fun, I look forward to further tweaks and playing this more often.

Hi me again, I really liked your deck so much that I started building my own based on your idea while stealing many of your cards haha. +1 wasn't enough so I offer you a feature token to help spread the joys of gambling addictions. Enjoy!
