Challenge # 069. Flip flip flip.
Ha! I think this may win the challenge. I hadn't realised "flip" was an overloaded term in Magic until this.
A nice "flipped" side might be "you win all coin flips". That sounds ridiculous, but I'm not sure if there are any truly open-ended coin-flip cards it would actually break?
Well, Fiery Gambit would be pretty absurd. I think Mana Clash avoids the problem.
Come to think of it, an obvious safety valve would be to make it "R: you win (or choose the outcome of) the next coin flip".
