Interesting card. Reminds me of a lot of Clash cards (for example: Release the Ants and Titan's Revenge). The thing I like the most about this is that there's no real penalty for losing the flip, as all sorceries usually go to graveyard when they resolve, but there's a LOT to gain from winning the flip, namely card advantage and the opportunity to get even more 1/1 Elementals. That's the perfect formula for a good coin flip card right there.

YEEEEEEESSSSS. Thank you, Wizards. This is the correct way to do a coin-flipping effect in red. Have a not overpowered effect for a decent cost with a chance at it being reusable? Now that's genious. You might argue that an "all or nothing" effect would be better flavor, but getting a fairly good deal even if you whiff the coin flip makes this a lot more playable.
The potential value on this is oh so delicious. 4/5

Statistically the expected value is to get two uses out of this. The multi-casting nature of this card combos perfectly with Young Pyromancer.

It's a fine card for limited, pretty balanced. For constructed it's just too slow.

First coin flipping card at a decent power level in a long time! When was the last one even? Frenetic Sliver? That was six years ago!
(Well there's also Ral I guess.)

I've played against two different people in tonight's draft where they both had this card, and each won their first two flips, both going T3 this card and win, T4 this card and win. It was impossible to beat them at that point. It was frustrating to lose because of the coin flips but that's magic.

Wow. Play this, then Past in Flames or something else that lets you play sorceries from your graveyard. Rince, repeat.
This card is really strong if your opponent manages to win the coin flip five times in a row with it.

If you lose the flip, you still got two 1/1's. Not the best but ripe for a creature pumper. If you win the flip, thats some efficiency. Seems like a fun deck with Young Pyromancer, got to make me some standard budget constructed.
