Does Krark's Thumb Give You A Choice?
Asked by JonRules12 9 years ago
So let's you play Stitch in Time but you have Krark's Thumb out. So you flip two coins and one was a head and one was a tail. But you only won one of them, do you get to choose which coin flip you ignore?
Also while I am here does Krark's Thumb stack. So if you have to do a coin flip and you have two out would you instead do four coin flips?

I didn't see the legendary thing, my bad. But thank you, that helped a lot.

Actually I have that a bit wrong. The Thumbs will double the number of flips with each thumb, playing off the former thumb's flips rather than the original flip event. It's the same principle that applies to damage doubling effects.
Here's a link to a supposed judge saying so.

In case you or someone else is interested, here's exactly what's happening with multiple Krark's Thumb s.
With 1 Thumb you get:
[Flip a coin] event is replaced by [flip a coin, flip a coin, ignore one]
2nd Thumb replaces those flips, so:
[flip a coin, flip a coin, ignore one] is replaced by [(flip a coin, flip a coin, ignore one), (flip a coin, flip a coin, ignore one), ignore one]
...and a 3rd Thumb would go on to replace all instances of "flip a coin" with "flip a coin, flip a coin, ignore one," effectively doubling the flips for every Thumb.

You choose which flip to ignore upon seeing their results. Naturally you'd ignore any losing flip if there was a winning flip among them.
Krark's Thumb is Legendary so it's not easy to get multiple Thumbs out. If somehow you do (Mirror Gallery , animate it and use Sakashima the Impostor ) you flip two coins for every Thumb effect and ignore all but one. This is because it is a replacement effect and they all go to apply to the coin-flipping event once by having you flip two coins.
