My basic question is: How does a coin flip use the stack? Does the coin flip use the stack at all? Is the *result from losing* a different event on the stack from the coin flip?
My specific question is: I have Goblin Kaboomist on the battlefield and Jeskai Barricade in my hand. During my upkeep, I create my Land Mine, then I flip a coin and lose. Can I cast Jeskai Barricade after the coin toss but before damage is done to return Goblin Kaboomist to my hand before it dies?
Primadox returns Assassin to your hand during upkeep, triggers Outpost dealing 1 damage to creature. Playing Assassin kills damaged creature. Repeat next turn.
It seems to me that what the Abzan Siege intro deck was missing was Hardened Scales to double the counters that Outlast gives and Retribution of the Ancients to take advantage of all the counters you're producing.
I think the intention of the card is that while a creature is attacking, it gets +1/+0, but that it would lose that bonus when the creature is no longer attacking. However, since the wording lacks the crucial "until end of turn" phrase, it could be construed that the +1/+0 bonus never ends and is accumulative (meaning that the first time a creature attacks, it gets +1/+0; the second time it attacks it gets +2/+0 (+1 from the previous turn, +1 from this turn); the third time it attacks it gets +3/+0; etc).
So, which is correct? I expected there to be a ruling on the Oracle text, but there doesn't appear to be one. Is the bonus only applied short-term during the attack, or does the bonus stack turn after turn?

Outpost Siege (Dragon choice) + Hooded Assassin (destroy target creature option) + Roaring Primadox = Murder every time it's your turn.
