with krarks thumb and goblin bookie I got it up to 15/15, without them it would have been a 10/10, this was the first time I played this card, more importantly 11 successfull coin flips made me win the game regardless of his power and toughness because chance encounter.

I find it very funny that a card with a flip a coin ability is rated at about 2.5 / 5 as of this posting.
..i rate it 2.5 / 5.

We could use more comic relief for Limited.

"REAL LIVE MATH TEACHER." Real? And live?! The legends are true!!
Come on, who are you kidding. Math teachers don't play Magic. Take Richard Garfield, for instance.

Crazed Fircat is virtually worthless unless you have the ability to redo flips.
Statistically Crazed Fircat will be a 4/4 50% of the time, a 5/5 25% of the time, a 6/6 12.5% of the time, and a 7/7 6.25% of the time. That means this is a vanilla 8/8 or more 6.25% of the time and a 7/7 or less (usually less) 93.75% of the time.
Put simply the card sucks. Unless you can redo coin flips, at which point it is marginally playable.
EDIT: Ignore the other person who cannot do math.
SECOND EDIT (for those who have difficulty with probability): Let us ignore the fact that I am a real live math teacher.
Let's pretend you chose to call heads every time (because it will not effect the outcome anyhow). The card begins as a 4/4. You flip once. You have a 50% chance of flipping tails in which case you STOP FLIPPING and have a 4/4. You also have a 50% chance of flipping heads and getting a +1/+1 counter and the RIGHT TO FLIP AGAIN. As you can see there is a 50% chance of being stuc... (see all)

Jesus, there are some retards here. pumaman83 is definitely right. It's 25% because you have to take consecutive flips into account. I wish you could post images here, I've got a great Facepalm for you two.

thaviel is right, you are just as likely to be a 5/5 as a 4/4, it's not like you need 2 flips to make him a 5/5, which is what 25% is suggesting. if you flip a coin and win, +1/+1 and thus a 5/5, you get to flip again. loose the flip, and no +, you get a 4/4 and don't get to flip again, 50/50. sorry pumaman, your the one who can't do math.
still almost useless without the thumb, but with mirror gallery and multiples of it, you have a potential monster.

And here i thought all Magic players knew how to do math..
pumaman83 is 100% correct. (i had the throw in the percentage, as everyone else is so keen on it here..)
I guess with the coin flipping combos mentioned, this could be playable. but 7 for a 5/5 is still bad.
