Double Edge was an example card, and  :earth was the first thing that came to mind. I suppose that Gamble should be put in  :entropy, but I think that it would be better if more skills dealing with probability was included into other elements.

Where else would it fit? The chance aspect of it could fit  :entropy, but actual gambling isn't exactly the embodiment of chaos.

this card should be implemented immediately as an Entropy card.

seeing the name, i fell in love (i gamble... just not legally...)
seeing the effect, i got confused ???
how many cards do you discard if you get the bad side? and if you dont have enough cards in your hand to discard?

If you flip tails, you discard one card, unless you have no cards in your hand. I will change card to  :entropy.

i love it then! im usually one who goes against odds, but this one forces me to go for the odds :)
if i get tails, no biggie, just one card, if i get heads though, i get 2 cards. me likey. this would go well in super rush decks like the lava golem rush

what happens if you have no cards in your hand, can you still play this? what is the consequence of having no cards in your hand and playing this?

You can play it without cards in your hand, and you would lose nothing if tails (except 1  :entropy). Of course, if you had a Golden Hourglass or Electrum Hourglass, and you flip a head and a tail, you'd draw a card and immediately discard it.

very overpowered, you shouldnt be allowed to play it without a card in your hand.

I'll omit the Hourglass bonus and disallow it to be played without a card in your hand then?

in the game as is, when you do something to draw a card (such as hourglass or at the start of a new turn) and have no cards left- you lose.

Instant loss if there are no cards in the deck when drawing a card is required, yes. I don't think that there's any scenario where discarding is required though? Maybe if I change it from discarding from hand to discarding the top card of the deck instead?
