The Destruction He Causes Is Nothing Next To The Chaos In His Mind

So I have a 50/50 chance of dealing all the damage to myself, for a slight discount in CMC. This is the kind of card I WANT my opponent to play, probably win me the game.

Not worth playing without a Krark's thumb, and even being a Johnny, I see little use for this card.

Maybe you can Fling him if you lose the flip but i still can't figure out a good way to play him.

Hopeless card. Even if you work around it with some combo it's not worth it. It is, however, a hilarious addition to my Nicol Bolas EDH deck whose whole point is producing chaos and pointlessly destroying itself.

True Conviction
Yeah. That's an incredible idea. Why didn't you think of that? In fact, it will probably be broken in vintage and get this guy banned. Absolutely.

double-strike, that would work wouldn't it?
I would assume so,
to the guy who posted true conviction, OMG yess that would be awesome

Perhaps try giving him double strike?
You would only flip a coin for one of them, which guarantees that you break even. Even better if you have lifelink or some instant-speed buff to throw on him after the first strike combat step.

Use with Darien, King of Kjeldor and give this guy lifelink. At least then he's somewhat fun to play. Deals combat damage, or gives you 5 soldiers? You always win! Chaos is fun, isn't it?

Um, guys?

This creature enables you to deal combat damage to yourself.

It's, like, the only thing I've seen that actually does that.

Aren't there a ton of effects that trigger when you're dealt combat damage that usually rely on your opponent attacking you, that you can then use with this?

Flavor card. Would never use it.

Not very good, is he? Too big a down-side.

Oddly enough, the only copy of this I own has the name crossed out and "Angry French Guy" Written under it. No clue why.

The destruction he causes is nothing next to the destruction caused by actually good cards.
