Legendary Creature — Efreet

Whenever this attacks, choose a number between 1 and 5. Flip that many coins. For each flip you win, draw a card. For each flip you lose, this deals 2 damage to you. If you won five flips this way, you may cast spells from your hand this turn without paying their mana costs.

lucksterluke16 on Flipping the Odds - A Coin Flip Story

3 years ago

I'm sure you probably looked up every coin flip card already but here are a few I don't see in your list in case you missed them:

• Karplusan Minotaur - Cumulative upkeep means on each of your upkeeps its one extra flip (so 1 flip on the 1st upkeep, 2 flips on the 2nd, etc) so this can get you a ton of coin flips pretty easily.

• Scoria Wurm - Not that exciting, but its a cheap threat that you could hopefully keep alive longer with Krark's Thumb

• Mirror March - This can get out of hand really quickly, and there's basically no downside to losing flips

• Yusri, Fortune's Flame - Designed to be a commander, but it's a solid card to include in the 99 as well

• Goblin Traprunner - Tons of easy flips with no downsides

• Squee's Revenge - Can be a huge card draw

• Planar Chaos - This one can be a bit annoying and might only be good if you also have Krark's Thumb, but it lets you play more controlling

• Krark, the Thumbless - Similar to Planar Chaos, use at your own risk

• Frenetic Efreet and Frenetic Sliver - A single card that lets you flip as many coins as you want (you can activate the ability as many times as you want before you let any of the activations resolve, and then even if he dies you still flip all the coins)

• Puppet's Verdict - A sweeper that let's you control what to kill if you can manipulate the flip

As for other cards that I think could fit the strategy of the deck, I would focus on ways to multiply your other effects (extra upkeep steps, copying your permanents, doubling your abilities, etc). Here's some ideas:

• Paradox Haze - Get an extra upkeep step to double the effects of cards like Goblin Bomb, Karplusan Minotaur, etc

• Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces - Let's you copy your commanders and the copy won't be legendary so you get to keep both

• Seize the Day Extra combat means you can attack twice, but more importantly the combat trigger abilities on your commanders trigger twice

Other random things:

• Treasure Nabber Easy way to get some mana fixing and ramp since you get to use all your opponents mana artifacts

• Temur Battle Rage Helps get that lethal attack in with Okaun, Eye of Chaos

Mtg_Mega_Nerds on What Commanders From MH2 Are …

Hello all! Modern Horizons 2 is pretty close to releasing, and I am pretty excited to build around some of the commanders from this set. I have got my eyes on Yusri, Fortune's Flame and Carth the Lion . Lonis, Cryptozoologist seems pretty fun too. What commanders do you want to build around?

So I guess you're supposed to get out Mirror Gallery and four Krark's Thumb in order to have a greater than a 4% chance at getting omniscience with Yusri, Fortune's Flame . Well then.

legendofa on New hubs to be added

3 years ago

Femme_Fatale Was there an announcement that MH2 was going to prominently feature coin flipping? Yusri, Fortune's Flame is there, but I'm not sure that's going to be radically different from Okaun+Zndrsplt. What are you expecting for the hub once MH2 is fully listed?

A lot of decks currently coming up in a hub search for "Coin Flip" have a hub just called "Flip", without the Coin part. If I may pull out a couple of specific examples, RNJesus has Coin Flip, while Try Your Luck has Flip, despite being created and updated earlier today and having only one DFC and no Kamigawa flips. I just played with the hub formatting a little bit while writing this. It does look like Flip should only come up with the actual Kamigawa mechanic, and I just tried different combinations of Coin Flip and Flip, with and without Kamigawa flips, and everything appeared to work as it should.

Would you know anything about the deeper programming, and should this conversation be moved off of this thread?

Gontilordofmtg on Can Yusri's free spells ability …

3 years ago

The new modern horizons 2 preview card, Yusri, Fortune's Flame was recently spoiled and I need clarification on the card. He says that if you win 5 flips using his coinflip ability, you may cast spells for free, but do you have to win all 5 flips off of one attack trigger, or can it be multiple? Do you simply have to win 5 coinflips with his ability throughout the course of the game, or do you have to win all these flips in the course of a turn? Please help.
