For those who may not know: this card is an allusion to the dice game played in casinos called Craps.

5 for a 5/6 isn't all that great for a creature you have to WIN IN A GAME OF CRAPS.

The odds in craps are not in your favour, but this card has a chance of lasting long enough to be worthwhile.

89% chance that it reaches the field, with a 22% chance of winning instantly. After that, it has a 16% chance of dying during your upkeep, with an 11.5% chance of winning. With those odds, it should survive long enough for a red deck to burn the opponent to death.

If you actually want a good red 5-cost creature, though, I recommend Arc-Slogger, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs or Fire Servant.

This is obviously supposed to be in a chicken deck with Chicken à la King
