in the case of this card, i was talking about it landing on heads when you had no cards left in your deck.  you would attempt to draw a card, not be able to, and lose.

Why would you play this if you knew you were running out of cards?

Let me just go off topic from your fierce arguments to say that is great art Saynt.

Umm, I've never thought about it, but what happens if you use precog?
I suppose that mechanic shouldn't be a problem because one like it already exists.
You can't just "use" immolation, or any targeting spells. For them to be consumed

I'll omit the Hourglass bonus and disallow it to be played without a card in your hand then?
hourglass bonus is kinda nice all in all, but strong.

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?
just dont let it work if you dont have a card in hand, using top of deck is not so great, part of this card's appeal is the ability to use it to change what cards you have to play.

I gotta say, the more I look at this card, the more I like it.

I think that, rather than "draw 3 if heads or lose one card if tails." Something like, "draw 3, keep if heads or lose if tails," would be a better gamble. Just my :electrum, though.

Earth is aligned with metals. It's fairly reasonable to assume that a double-edged weapon is made with metal.
Using this argument,
Titan,
Poseidon,
Long Sword
Gavel
ect would be earth. Problem.
Not really. Weapons are MADE from Metal, and Metal is Aligned with Earth, MEANING they, of course, are Earth because of their links. So there IS no problem actually.

First of all: I really like this card. =D

Question: What happens if you have an hourglass but only one card in hand?

Aren't you able to play this card because there is a chance you can't pay the additional costs? (discarding)

Or do you just toss one coin.

Or do you toss the first coin, if head toss the second if tail effect ends?

Second coin flip does not activate if cost cannot be payed.

Okay. I thought it would be so, but wanted to be sure.

Great work. Hope it will get far.
