Who Doesn't Love a Game of Chance?

So a bunch of my friends are dirty Grixis mages and some like to leave things up to chance. I thought it'd be hilarious to see a card like this hit the table in the middle of a game of commander. What do you think?
Dirty Dealings 
Sorcery
Flip X coins. If you win no flips, you lose the game. If you win one flip, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. If you win two flips, destroy target creature. If you win three flips, gain control of target creature. If you win all flips, take X extra turns after this one and exile Dirty Dealings.
Storm
This is breathtakingly brilliant.
The turns part though would have to read:
"If X is greater than 3, and you win X flips..." unless you want people to get turns at less than 3.
Then again, X=1 with a 50/50 shot of losing or getting an extra turn screams Grixis flavor.

I would probably remove storm from the card. My $.02:
1/ Make it an instant2/ Replace storm with "This spell costs 1 less for each spell an opponent played this turn". Making it a little bit less degenerate.

This is awesome, if I ever make a custom cube I am going to have to include this!

I think I fixed it:
Dirty Dealings
Sorcery
Flip X coins. If you win no flips, you lose the game. If you win one flip, destroy target creature. If you win two flips, gain control of target creature. If you win three or more flips, take an extra turn after this one for each flip you won and exile Dirty Dealings.

Whoops, I already see an error in the wording. Working on fixing it now.
