Game of Chaos Game of Chaos Flip a coin. If you win the flip, you gain 1 life and target opponent loses 1 life, and you decide whether to flip again.

Double the life stakes with each flip. is a huge amount of fun and can win or lose the game on the spot depending on who you’re playing against. For three red mana, Game of Chaos is a sorcery spell that reads, “Flip a coin. If you win the flip, you gain 1 life and target opponent loses 1 life, and you decide whether to flip again. If you lose the flip, you lose 1 life and that opponent gains 1 life, and that player decides whether to flip again. Double the life stakes with each flip.”
