Yeah, this card is pretty good. 50% chance to destroy everything, and nothing bad if I lose the flip? Pretty good.
Also, PSA: It's not a 75% chance to do anything. It is 50% each time you try. Failing the first flip will not increase or decrease your odds of succeeding with your next one. Each fair flip will give you a 50% chance of success.

It's 50% the first time, and 50% the second time, giving it overall a 75% chance to activate within the first two turns of playing it. (So a 75% chance to activate by the time a Nevy Disk would have activated)

Rest in RIP My Signature, I guess. 2015-2016, we hardly knew ye.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

But it is misleading, because your second chance is actually still a 50% chance. Your odds on each flip never increase or decrease because of past failures.

Its your estimate.
You want to blow it up.
1st try 50/50
If you win, its gone.
If you fail, you get another try.
However you have to fail 2 times in a row to not get it to explode, which has a 25% chance, as any other scenario will result in you winning at least 1 (and thats all you want, winning 2+ times doesnt matter).
Failing 3+ times in a row gets more and more unlikely.

That said, its allready a pretty solid chance to blow the world up with 2 activations.
If it doesnt work, well, you dont deserve to win that game then anyway
I like this card alot. Gives Black and Red a chance to remove irritating enchantments at a low cost. It's good they're exploring more removal options for Black and Red, while not leaving out the other colors.
