Whats the point of the coin flip if you can keep flipping until you win?

@ Saxican - I find that very hard to believe, the odds of flipping tails 100 times in a row are 1 over 1,267,650,600,288,229,401,469,703,205,376 (That's over 1.2 Nonillion).
So I think I'm gonna have to call bullsh*t on that one. ;)

Oh, hi Frenetic Efreet, fancy seeing you here...
Protip: Your opponent cannot legally make you resolve surplus flips. Call a judge; they'll get a slow play warning. (They can make you flip the coin enough times to actually get to 10 successes, or whatever number you specify, but c'mon, if you play Chance Encounter combo you were probably wanting to do that anyway.)
And yeah, for a while, Wizards errata'd the *** out of Frenetic Efreet precisely so that that particular combo didn't work. Then after both cards were safely in eternal formats only, they un-errata'd. Hence all the confusion about whether the combo works -- legions of players heard of the errataing (erratanification?) but didn't hear about the much less talked-about unerrataing.
It would've made more sense to just ban one of 'em, but back then, Wizards wasn't into making sense. :)
