Its not really an effective card unless you have a deck with a lot of coin flipping stuff. Generally, though, coin flipping cards aren't all that effective anyway. Throw it in your crap rare binder.

Actually, in casual play, you can get this to work pretty well with Chance Encounter. What you'd be looking for are simply cards that let you easily flip a lot of coins, (Not necessarily cards that do something cool. Goblin Festival, Goblin Bomb, and Mana Clash are prehaps the best for this. Fiery Gambit would be the next best. After those you still got plenty of slots for defense and alternative win conditions. Starstorm, Lightning Bolt, Shivan Dragon, etc.

kobolds and enduring renewal with an altar of dementia - talk about a cycle, good for nothing, but recursion...:D

well - since the deck is running white for the endurings... might as well run some humbles...;)

Well - you have to be generating mana then... the cycle I proposed doesn't do that...:(

Jinxed Idol and Ring work well with the theme, but Life Chisel, phyrexian altar, and maybe spawing pit would work nicely with maybe a Grave Pact.

That's a big combo... it requires a lot of cards - in extreme danger of losing a card, and you lose a bit of the combo...
