I just love the oracle rulings: "It must flip like a coin and not like a Frisbee. "

The lesser cousin of the Chaos Orb, flavourful in its own right, probably would still be allowed if it wasn't for the Chaos Orb...

The only sorcery that is (sort of) allowed to enter the battlefield.

@ GainsBanding: Try donateing your opponent your Splinter token from Splintering Winds, then mimeofractureing them, then, if they have Splinter in their deck, then you can put the sorcery into play lol

I was playing a casual game with a guy at a tournament once. (Fairly recently.) I was using a goblin token deck, and had unfortunately put all of my tokens in a cluster to save table space.
I think there's still a welt on my forehead.

A sad imitation of the original icon that is Chaos Orb.

I guess they mean you can't hover it over a cluster of cards and just spin it in the air to land on something, you have to flip it.
But what a weird card.

A frisbee does not flip, but that ruling is most certainly needed. Check the printed text rather than the oracle text.

To all of you that are still asking about the coin/frisbee thing: Read the original card. It says "rotate 360 degrees," which, unerrata'd would mean that you could indeed spin it instead of flipping it.

I'm sad this isn't Commander legal. It would be hilarious to watch someone resolve it.
They could always just issue an Oracle ruling that the card must remain intact, to prevent players from tearing up the card into tiny pieces and scattering them like glitter across the battlefield (in case anyone's wondering why it's banned, someone literally actually did this in a tournament with Chaos Orb).

@Th3_Dark_On3:
From the Comprehensive Rules:
304.4. Instants can’t enter the battlefield. If an instant would enter the battlefield, it remains in its previous zone instead.
307.4. Sorceries can’t enter the battlefield. If a sorcery would enter the battlefield, it remains in its previous zone instead.
Sorry to spoil your fun.

A card flips like a frisbee if it flies like one. Think of it this way, on a X,Y,Z coordinate plane, a coin flips in the X or Y direction, so if you view it from above, you see the edge of the coin. A frisbee, on the other hand flips in the Z direction, so the front of the coin goes to the back, and the front to the back.

Combos with asking to read your opponent's creatures when they play them (and subsequently placing them back closer to their other creatures).

Could be worth playing if you happen to be in space.

Obviously the DCI has never seen me play Frisbee golf.
