So many ways to win, so little time...

Karplusan Minotaur... so many coins flying around!
Krark's Thumb... obvious staple combo card!
Fighting Chance+Goblin tokens=Look! If they block my 1/1 creatures, either Chance Encounter is fueled, or there's no harm to my creatures, no loss!
Goblin Bomb: Tick tick tick tick...
Squee's Revenge: More piles of coins!
Skyclaw Thrash: Possible 5/5 flyer AND coins!


Yeah, it's an uphill battle, for sure. But refer to the card's flavor text. :)

4 turn auto-wins with Frenetic Efreet. Very broken, and since your playing blue and red you get plenty of removal the first 3 turns in the form of burn (if you focus your burn on creatures, it can take you quite far) and plenty of counter-spells.

Unfortunately Blue and Red don't have any good creature or enchantment search. Blue does have amazing draw though. And they ally with Black, which has omni-search.

4 Frenetic Efreet
4 Chance Encounter
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
4 Pact of Negation
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Ponder
4 Brainstorm
4 Electrolize

4 Chrome Mox

4 Volcanic Island
4 Steam Vents
4 "Fetch Land"
4 Island
4 Mountain

Side:
4 Shattering Spree (against Pithing Needle)
4 Relic of Progenitus
4 Pithing Needle
2 Tormod's Crypt

Mana Clash should also be played with this. Kinda seems like the king of coin flipping to me. And, there's even the unlikely chance of you winning from Mana Clash alone xD

This actually doesn't work with Mana Clash - since you don't literally WIN flips using it.

Get it up as fast as you can, then clockspin the hell out of it.

@jarzium:

Luck counters are counters. Therefore, yes, you can proliferate them. And since you control the Chance Encounter, Doubling Season combos with the proliferate. Follow up with a use of Gilder Bairn, and you've put 12 counters onto the Encounter from one coin flip.

Evil pro tip: Play this card, and try to bluff your opponent into believing you can flip a coin whenever you want.
