Rulings

2008-04-01
The chosen source may be a permanent, a spell on the stack, or anything referred to by something on the stack (such as a Prodigal Pyromancer that’s left the battlefield while its ability is still on the stack)

The coin is flipped during resolution of this spell, so you know in advance what will happen when the source deals damage the next time.
