RNG Rakdos

so seems like a fun deck but I think you should add more rng coin flipping I like the demon imp and devil subtheme but krark's other thumb actually doesn't seem to have a trigger in the deck but here are some cards that flip coins in those colors Aleatory Boompile Chance Encounter Chaotic Goo Chaotic Strike Creepy Doll Crooked Scales Desperate Gambit Fiery Gambit Fighting Chance Game of Chaos Goblin Archaeologist Goblin Bomb Goblin Kaboomist Karplusan Minotaur Mana Clash Planar Chaos Puppet's Verdict Risky Move those are the ones i found and i think you should run at least some of them

A casually good looking build.
Fun note about this Rakdos is the devils number of 666: He has a cmc of 6 and is a 6/6.
Several cards that spring to mind:

Evening the Odds - An actual decent coin flip deck
5 years ago
BMHKain Looks like it'll work pretty well so far! Seems like a higher-budget version of this deck.
Some things that you could change: Tide of War personally was never worth it, since it discourages attacking and puts a target on your head for 6 mana, and usually you'll want people to attack for cards like Desperate Gambit and Impulsive Maneuvers (and you don't want Okaum dying with a huge amount of P/T either). Two-Headed Giant is on-flavour, but he doesn't actually work with your commanders. Skyclaw Thrash and Mijae Djinn tend to not have a big effect on the board since the biggest wincon is usually either Chance Encounter or Okaum (although I understand if he gets hated out a lot). If you're going for a higher-power deck, you could probably remove even more coin flip cards like Crooked Scales, Mogg Assassin and Volatile Rig, replacing them with mass removal, unblockable enablers or different on-theme cards like Chaos Warp or Stitch in Time. I definitely think that Lightning Greaves and Chandra's Ignition are huge cards for my deck, so I'd really suggest using them, and if you are looking to go on the more control side with Zndrsplt, Planar Chaos would be a good addition. Maybe even Laboratory Maniac depending on how many cards you're getting from the additional draw engines (with Impulsive Maneuvers it's easy to draw a ton of cards, and you have Frenetic Efreet which lets you flip as many coins as you want, not to mention Krark's Thumb), although I didn't go for that angle since my deck focuses more on killing with Okaum.
As for positives, I like the idea of Sunbird's Invocation, Tyrant of Discord and Etali, Primal Storm! They fit the flavour of the deck while adding more value. I think in general you have a good spread of card advantage and wincons. It looks like you're going for more general value with Zndrsplt and a splash of unblockable for Okaum, which seems like a good take on the deck since Okaum is a wincon without much extra effort. The cheeky Drift of Phantasms is a great way to find Frenetic Efreet or Fabricate (for Krark's Thumb) as well, and I actually meant to include Muddle the Mixture but forgot, that's a great card for the deck!

Coin Flip Tribal with Zndrsplt and Okaun
5 years ago
Good start, I love these guys!
I like that you included Fling and Thud.
When I built these partners I ended up cutting most of the fat (the bad coin flip cards like Wirefly Hive for example).
Other cuts I'd recommend:
Two-headed giant's wording doesn't work with your commanders (says heads/tails not "win"). Sorcerer's Strongbox is strictly worse than Tidings or... maybe perhaps Opportunity even in a coin flip deck. Crooked Scales is just wayyyy to mana hungry. Boompile will kill your commanders and maybe draw you a card. Ral Zarek will likely NEVER ult in multiplayer, but he's good if you put more high value rocks in your deck and can occasionally open the door for Okan. Creepy Doll eats up the 5 drop you'd rather use for either commander and usually doesn't get the chance to block.
Honestly you don't need to pack too much coin flip to make the deck work.
I'd focus on copying the effects to repeat coin-flipping for better value. You can even use cards like Strionic Resonator to copy coin flipping.
I highly recommend cards that provide Multiple combat phases for Okaun, Eye of Chaos such as Savage Beating, and Relentless Assault.
If you go the multiple combat phases route, check out any card that also says "at the beginning of combat" like Loyal Drake so you can the most value out of your turns.

Play a Radiate targeting the Fiery Gambit. 8 mana, you win the game, maybe?
Play Krark's Thumb. Everyone knows the most winningest gamblers cheat a little.
Play Planar Chaos. Play Chance Encounter.
Play Crooked Scales and Mogg Assassin. Now those are some gambling cards.
Literally play Desperate Gambit. Target Heartless Hidetsugu with it, when his ability is on the stack. This is the most correct way to play Gambit.
Play Sorcerer's Strongbox.
Play Volatile Rig.
Play Fighting Chance.
Play Mana Crypt, because it flips coins.
