For my 90th deck, I am posting one of my favorite decks I own. It's fun, powerful, and I think a little unique. =] *Edited a bit over time =]*
Don't forget to bring a coin!

If you feel like you need more coin flips, perhaps Karplusan Minotaur? It looks like you probably have plenty of opportunities to flip coins, but just thought I'd share.

Yeah, I thought about it to be honest. This was originally mono-red. Then I came across my set of Stitch in Time(s)...so y'know =P
Why is mirror galory in there?
For more krarks thumb
Yeah, basically once I get more than one thumb out, it's game over. I'll take extra turns...deal ass-loads of damage, or...just plain win. =]

Paradox Haze would be nice 'cause it let's you flip even more coins! Desperate Gambit is a HOUSE with Goblin Bomb, and Squee's Revenge for some nice Card Advantage. Hope this helps! :D
I considered those two, but the Gambit with the Bomb is kinda overkill and Squee's Revenge has oddly never been reliable for me =/ Also, why the Haze?
So that you can have multiple upkeeps for stuff like Chance Encounter and Chaotic Goo.
Yeah, I suppose. I don't know if the Haze is worth fitting in just for that though...
lol Funny deck I like it dude... I was wondering if you could check out my Silence is Golden Deck... I came into magic around M10 so I do not know much of the older cards but enjoy to make competitive standard decks... Silence is golden is not Standard but could you check it out? Peace
Yeah sure I'll give it a look. =]
I know you don't really need it, but planar chaos would be a fun lock-down.
I used to have it in the deck actually, but took it out because it was honestly overpowered in the deck. This deck is about having fun to the point that your opponents won't even care they lost. With that card though, that aspect of fun was gone almost completely =/ It's one of those cards that looks like it would be fun at first glance, but then when you see it in action, it's a whole different beast. I could put it into the SB though for people who really want a taste of "Bad Luck" =P
Good point--I've been shifting from years of playing kitchen table with a few drafts/pre-releases to moving primarily to FNMs and Standard. I always knew the two were completely different beasts, but it's ridiculous to me how much one is dominated by people wanting to have fun smattered with a few who are obnoxious, versus the other being dominated by people trying to be cutthroat with a few who are just there to make friends/hang out. I've been thinking about writing up a few articles about it all. That being said, your point makes total sense that I feel like the "old me" would have realized, haha.
Anyone know if Gatecrash will have some coin flip mechanics? In the last few sets it seems there has been a slight splash of it here and there.
It's unlikely but if there's it'll be very light on mostly tournement unplayable cards (WOTC doesn't normal print anything truly random on there tournement cards) Actually they may have voltaic rig 2.0 so maybe one xard
hey will you be bringing this to my wumpocalypse party?
Hell yeah I'll bring it!
huzzah!

this deck looks like even losing may be fun, and winning would be quite fun. this is a very unique deck that i really like. but it must be a bitch when you can't find any spare change... i know some one already asked you to look at their deck but seeing as you seem to be a really experienced player it would be awesome if you could check out my deck and tell me if i could make it better. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414780
There's a smexy silver dollar in the deckbox now, but there wasn't always, and trust me, there have been times where nobody had a coin and it was funny, but sucked at the same time =P And I'll check on it as soon as I get a chance =]
I like your deck. Especially this days when nearly all the decks using roughly the same cards I'm really happy to see a deck like this. (I think I am gonna punch the next guy in the face who cast Thragtusk) But seems like all the deck relies on Krark's Thumb to make things funny. And you ll have lots of games which you cant draw a single copy of it even if you put 4 in deck. (talking about luck :)) Maybe add some Muddle the Mixture to deck as 5. and 6. copies of the Thumb.
Lol I hate thragtusk but I play competitive standard and in that I play green so I play thragtusk it's sad It's like blue and snappy
This deck is awesome! I'm now building one of my own (although potentially with a few small changes ie now Scalding Tarn or Volcanic Island due to cost) and can foresee myself enjoying many hilarious games in the future with it :)
HAHAHA!!! oh man i love this deck!!! i would probably use this all the time to play even if it didnt win. i think you have created a perfect example about what Magic is supposed to be about and that is to enjoy the game. good job my man!!!:)
maybe volatile rig will have a home?!?!? just kidding.... it still sucks
You are kidding right? Once it is out it is practically a free board wipe when it attacks or blocks.
Great Deck, looks like alot of fun ! Demons living End idea Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=415031
This deck is awesome.it looks like a decent casual deck that is super fun to play. :). Win or lose, it seems way fun to be on either side. :). I didn't see why you had the sliver in here at first, but after thinking about it for a second it fits. :). Always wondered if a coherent coin flip deck was possible. Looks like it is. :) Not to seem like THAT guy but... I was hoping you could check out these 2 deck designs and give me some feedback on how to improve them... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=386636 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=376354 If you can't, that's fine. Just thought I would ask. Again. This deck rocks.
really love this deck!! :) such a great idea and seems way to fun for me not to try out!! thanks! you said you have used the deck in real play so i was just wondering how the slivers work... i understand the blink chance, but i just cant see how it pays out. a 50/50 blink chance doesnt seem that effective for blocking. (and i do realize that once K. Thumb is in play its almost a sure bet to block/blink) just was thinking about early game effectiveness?? also?? how often would you say you start with Gemstone Caverns? i cant afford to go "all out" with Volcanic Isle but would you think a 4th Caverns could be worth it?? thanks for an info and an awesome deck :)
I use the Sliver's blinking ability much more in cases where they would otherwise die. If I have a 50% (at least) chance of saving them, that's better than the 100% chance of losing them, y'know? I also use them late(er) game to spam coin flips, and yes, for blocking shenanigans since like you said, even one thumb makes them nigh untouchable =P To answer your first question in short: They're good early game aggro that has a "lucky" safety-net. Just remember to use the blink not when you want to, but when you need to =] The things in here that are 4-ofs are the things I want to draw more than anything else. If you notice, everything else is a 3-of. That's not a coincidence. In your case, making this budget-friendly (and I advise everyone who wants to make their own version of this) I would suggest going for a 4th Gemstone Cavern and/or a 4th Scalding Tarn. My math might be off a little, but I think the chances of any 3-of in your opening hand is ~6% and the chance of any 4-of is ~10%. And, as expected, that is about how often I draw Gemstone Caverns. To be completely honest though, the land is in here mostly because it's pretty sweet starting off with a "Luck Counter" when playing a luck-based (until you rig it =P) deck.
awesome :) thanks! ((that was crazy quick too :P)) thats kinda what i was thinking about the Slivers (and was even thinking about dropping another x3-4 Slivers into the deck just to get more coin spam but couldnt find anything that would work well enough) and yes, i did notice the reasons for the 4-of's Vs. 3-of's .. great work on the ratio (though myself will not use any Chance Incounters(at least right away) because the friends i play with use a lot of 'quick' decks) yeah, the ratio for drawing even just one Caverns is not the best (even at 4-of's) was just thinkin; its a lot better than 3-of's :P just wondering if you had any other ideas/replacements for anything? remove Squee's for Karplusan Minotaur? maybe even Impulsive Maneuvers?? (i do see Squee is there for a reason, but just seems a bit out of place to me)

Hahaha... Thats awesome bro... would you mind looking at my standard grixis and give me some pointers cause its almost there but not quite... thx... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=415243
Really the only suggestion that I have is creepy doll. Great defensive card, if a bit expensive to put out. Flip a coin, destroy a creature dealt damage by creepy doll this turn. In essence.
So... what was the inspiration for this deck? Any 1 single card, or did it kinda all just fall into place at once?
This dude threw in a play set of Krark's thumb during a trade because he didn't want them. I just had to do something with them, and have always wanted a goofy fun coin flip deck, so that was the turning point haha =]
That's awesome. I wish someone would do that for me when I trade... Lol. I want to build some kind of "fun" deck like this, but they always end up being lame instead.

Seeing this deck made me remember a Commander deck I made with Starke of Rath as the Commander. It's based off of random effects and coin flipping. I like what you did with the cards to make a 60 card deck. Please see my Commander deck, and I hope you like it. Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=251107
IF you REEEEALLY wanted to get Lady Luck's attention - you'd use Tibalt. His "plus" ability makes him unplayable. It's random as balls and probably not even worth it, if you DO pull something you want.
O.o So... What does that have to do with coin flipping? And tibalt isn't unplayable, he just isn't as "useful" as most other planeswalkers. Personally I think he is way easier to use than say... Gideon, sarkon the mad, or the new Jace. Within standard... Sure he isn't great. But put him with the Chandra that allows you to play all red instants and sorceries from your graveyard for free... And he becomes VERY useful. And when you do get his loyalty up... You gain all creatures on the field for a turn. As if Chandra's ultimate ability wasnt enough to kill them at that point. Anyways... like I said before, Tibalt has nothing to do with coin flip, so you didnt even read the description or any of the cards, did you?
tibalt is the worst planeswalker except maybe sarkon the new jace dominated standard for sevral months also gideon has a ton of uses whether being fog that lets profitable blocks happen or a 6/6 indestructable also voltaic rig could help your chance encounter go off pretty fast i think i would enjoy losing to this deck its that cool
Yes, I know that the new jace was played a TON in the past few months, making him a popular pro circuit card. what I don't know... Is WHY? His +1 does nothing, his -2 is sketchy at best. His ult is the only thing that seems worth doing at all, and only if you are playing with lots or people. And it is 8 loyalty counters to use, when he can only go up one at a time. I really don't understand don't he is good card. Tibalt is cheap to put out, at RR, and sure his + ability seems counter productive maybe, but for graveyard based decks it is awesome. and against draw decks his -4 works well. And in a multiplayer game... His -6 can be devastating. Imagine playing with 5 other people, and using it? That's six players creatures that you get, and no blockers to have standing in your way. Gideon... I dislike him enough to rant for a really long time, so I am gonna cut myself shirt before I do. Personally I don't know any MTG players who understand why the new Jace was as popular in pro circuit as it was, nir why it was a $45 card for so long.
I lie Gideon he's just a personal favorite mostly a 6/6 indestructable is good enough most of the time Jace is and always was a 20$ planeswalker usable but not great He's card draw with a planeswalker left behind you get the best of 3 cards and then they have to deal with it or you draw it's pretty decent your anlysis on the rest is pretty close +1 is occasionally useful -2 is the reason you use him The ultimate happens occasionally but like all walkers you ignore it in evaluation pretty much
But Gideon is kind of my walker just cause m play group had probably 7 copies between 6 people so we all had one or two to use or to trade for him whenever you wanted him
I can understand that. My take on Gideon's ult is this: he becomes a creTire, and creatures are easier to get rid of them planeswalkers. Sure, he can't be doom bladed, or dreadbored, but he can be exiled, or tragic slipped, or any number of things. If he staid a creature for longer than your turn, I would like him better, because then you gain an indestructable blocker as well, but he doesn't. Or if you could use his ult in tandem with his +2 then it would be amazing. He has so much potential but the rules that govern how planeswalker cards work hold him back from being the most amazing planeswalker card ever. that is what I don't like about him... :( Also, until fairly recently have wss a 45$ card, and now is 15$ or so. (why could I not have drawn him before mow?)
goblin bookie needs to be sideboarded
also fickle efreet
very fun deck. love the coin flip/krarks thumb combos. i didnt even know such a card existed. mind checking out my deck and giving me some advice? you dont have to but it would be appreciated. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=416960
i see the price on this site but how much did this deck cost you to build
I re-use a lot of the more expensive cards between all my decks, since buying an individual Revised dual land for each of my decks that need them would be...a LOT of money. So, taking into consideration the pseudo-proxies and stuff I already had from before, I would say this cost me 100 bucks to make. That's not to say it will be that cheap for you, especially with the rising price of the lands in the deck =/ But the deck has a pretty stable mana base anyway, so I wouldn't be too worried about the lands. If you want to cut down the budget substantially, you can just adjust the lands as needed =]
