Game of Chaos ?!?

Asked by Segala 4 years ago

While building my Chaos deck I came across this, Game of Chaos card, not sure I understand hiw it works.

"You flip a coin target opponent calls Heads or Tails", that's fairly straightforward. One of the part that confuses me is "The loser of the flip loses 1 life. The winner of the flip gain 1 life". Does this means I'm playing the coin toss too? The coin toss is between me and target opponent?

The second thing that I'm confused about is the " and may choose to repeat this process" part. Does it means that whomever wins can repeat the effect again? Can a new target be designated by the winner?

They changed how flipping coins works so the oracle text is a little different than the printed text. I don't know if the new wording is going to make it any clearer to you, so I will explain it.

Flip a coin. If you win the flip, you gain 1 life and target opponent loses 1 life, and you decide whether to flip again. If you lose the flip, you lose 1 life and that opponent gains 1 life, and that player decides whether to flip again. Double the life stakes with each flip.

The game no longer has opponents call flips. So you flip a coin and call it. If you win the flip you gain life and the opponent you targeted loses life. If you lose the flip you lose life and they gain life. The person who gained life gets to decide if you will go again for double the life stakes. This process is repeated until the winner opts to not flip again. The card says nothing about changing targets, so you and the same opponent will be in the second and any subsequent flips.
