But it can't backfire or randomly hit a different permanent anymore. Which changes how the card plays, and changes the intent of the card.
I agree, and don't really like chaos orb for that reason (I don't want dexterity tests in my magic, and I don't really like materially altering cards) and we don't run it.
However, I was just saying of the erratas that exist to get rid of the flipping, I think that one is the best one.
Edit - The only way to maintain the backfire feel of it while getting rid of the dexterity test would be to have some convoluted dice rolling thing going on, which would probably be horrendous.
