Yusri, Fortune's Flame

Legendary Creature — Efreet · {1}{U}{R} · Red/Blue commander

Flying Whenever Yusri attacks, choose a number between 1 and 5. Flip that many coins. For each flip you win, draw a card. For each flip you lose, Yusri deals 2 damage to you. If you won five flips this way, you may cast spells from your hand this turn without paying their mana costs.
