AGH!
Sorry Applecorn, I accidently hit the report abuse button. :'(
I hurriedly cliked a different link before the page loaded, so I don't know if it registered or not.
Anyways, looks like a fun deck. Run all the coin-flip cards, like Game of Chaos, with the Krork's thumb, and all the other stuff, and that would be a really fun deck. :)

Guest51 somethin or another is leaving out the human element, algorithms and statistics are awesome but you might wanna get into game theory, whether or not a player is going to continue or not. and I find it hard to believe that a pseudorandom coinflip made each player take the saaaame amount of damage eaach time after 10 million iterations. In fact, The pattern of 2^1 and 2^2 and so on seems to indicte the simulation is just taking the number of players and putting it to the xth power where x is the amount of coinflips, so it seems like a rather silly simulation to me. Maybe I am missing something you could enlighten me on? And with 8 flips chances are you aren't going to take any damage at all, because the chances are that if you flip a coin 8 times you are going to hit one heads and then use The thumbs other effect to cancel out all the rest of the flips
And dont ever build a deck with this to win, if you do, you are completely missing the point.

Better yet, donatePrototype Portal with Krark's thumb imprinted, Panoptic mirror with this imprinted, priest of titania with umbral mantle equipped, orochi leafcaller, and filigree sages to an opponent, and have three elves and a mirror gallery on your side of the field. Then mindslaver your opponent. During their upkeep, you make one billion+ thumb tokens, then have the panoptic mirror trigger resolve. You get to flip for your opponent until they get a heads (should happen before the one billionth time, right?), then keep doing it, not caring about the damage you are taking because of your Urza's Armor.

Cards that interact with Mana Clash more powerfully than you might initially expect:
Quest for Pure Flame - It will be active pretty quickly.
Equal Treatment - Each clash will deal 2 damage.
Pyromancer's Swath - Increases each clash by 2 damage (to 3); similar to Tok-Tok, Volcano Born.
Sphere of Law/Urza's Armor - Prevents damage to yourself from each clash.
Talon of Pain - It'll charge up relatively quickly.
Tamanoa/Purity + Ajani's Pridemate - Ajani's Pridemate will get very large.

Rulings Question: How would this work with Krark's Thumb? Wouldn't you have to decide which coin to keep before your opponent showed you his/her coin? Because theoretically your two-coin flip is supposed to be happening at "the same time" as your opponents' one coin flip, which would make it cheating if you saw what your opponent flipped before you chose which coin to keep as your result.
