@lukedgh - No, it can't choose illegal targets. Nothing can choose illegal targets when initially being targetted. Check any and all rulings about this!

They should not be making cards that choose random effects without specifying a means of how the result is determined. This leaves it open for the players to disagree with how to determine the result. Much like creating cards you have to throw onto the battlefield, this card is simply bad for the integrity of the game.

Please don't play this guy if you are actually serious about the game. While the flavour is cool and interesting, he is a waste of an uncommon slot for Izzet that could otherwise have something playable.
.5/5

Gambling Deck Wins just found its 3-drop. Imagine a Grixis Gambling deck: T1, Merfolk Spy, T2, Tavern Swindler, T3 Goblin Test Pilot, T4 Volatile Rig. Enchant the test pilot or the rig with gift of orzhova or mark of the vampire, throw in some molten births and, who knows, if you're lucky, you might win.

Wish he was an 0/3 and did 3 damage.

1 star for the card, 5 stars for the flavor.
It could have been usable if it only targeted creatures opponents control, but now its just a joke card.

Based off Fiery_Artificer's combo, but even less efficient.
Put 2x Soul link, Darksteel plate, and druid's call on spellskite. With mycosynth lattice, dross scorpion, pandemonium, aether flash, and fecundity on the field, tap goblin test pilot to do two damage to spellskite, gaining 4 life minus the 2 from paying life to redirect, also put's two squirrels, which deal 2 damage to the opponent from the pandemonium, also die from the aether flash. The squirrels dying causes you to draw a card, The lattice makes them artifacts, so when they die you can untap test pilot to dross scorpion. Then just repeat for as much as you want!
