so every time i win the coin flip, for beside myself, i get to draw a card triggering the coin flip again. would it be cheating to practice my coin flipping to have a higher possiblity guessing the outcome?

yes (10 chars)

Cheating? Maybe not, but I would think to make it fair, whenever you use the ability, you let your opponent flip the coin.

But in this weird world, your opponent maybe has also practiced his coin flips. In which case...I don't know.

How does someone know if you have practiced coin flipping. I know for a fact there are ways to determine a coin flip about 80% of the time with practice. Therefore if I am across from someone with a coin flip I will request that I flip the coin while they call it in the air.

I don't know that it's 'illegal' to practice coin-flipping. I would say that, if you want to dedicate enough time to it, and you are using a perfectly normal coin - there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

lol. this thread is pretty hilarious to me, but coin flipping is a simple thumb movement which can be measured and repeated, like shooting a basketball. With enough practice you can be very consistent. I doubt it is worth it to devot that much time to it though unless you plan on hustling some people out of their money in halves.

i just thought about this because when i was younger i would always want to be two-face playing superheros, and if i looked at the coin before flipping i could guess the flip more than 50% of the time.

if this came up at the pc, would you automaticaly ask your opponate to let you flip the coin or would you let them flip?

I would let my opponent do his own flipping. I tend to be too trusting sometimes, I guess.

Also, point of fact: if I've gotta lose in a PC to anybody, I would definitely want it to be to an Insanity deck.

roll a dice its fair, thats what i insit on in a touney.

I knew a guy once who was in metal shop with me.

He took a regular quarter, and was able to somehow form a slight pointed peak on one side of the coin. A mini-spike if you will.

Then, whenever he did a coin flip, he'd catch it mid-air, and slap it onto the back of his hand, holding his other hand over top of it.

Then, depending on if the mini-spike was pushing into the top or the bottom hand, he knew what to call for his coin flip.

Now THAT'S unethical.

My two-tailed, one dollar coin though...

I hope there is a coin-flip at least once in the PC Top 8.

Stu, is the UDe site acting up, or did your preview not go through today?

It's not three o'clock yet, and it is the Fourth of July, but mostly it's just chaos magic at it's World's Finest.

It is no more cheating than learing how to shuffle your deck so that your cards remain in the desired order.

Ahh, and here I thought UDE operated in a further ahead time zone than I do.
