Crazed Firecat lands as a 4/4 with extra +1/+1 counters equal to however many times a coin flip went your way this turn — in the right deck, that's a creature that arrives as a 10/10 or larger for five mana. Outside of dedicated coin-flip builds like Okaun, Eye of Chaos // Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom, it's a vanilla 4/4 for five, which is unplayable.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Okaun, Eye of Chaos // Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom
Okaun, Eye of Chaos // Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom is the definitive home for Crazed Firecat — the deck is built to flip coins repeatedly in a single turn, so Firecat routinely enters as a massive threat that can close games the turn Okaun's doubling ability pushes combat damage into lethal territory.
Yusri, Fortune's Flame
Yusri, Fortune's Flame triggers up to five coin flips per attack, which means Crazed Firecat can enter as a 9/9 or larger the same turn Yusri swings — a second enormous threat on the board the turn after Yusri starts connecting is exactly what that deck wants.

Crazed Firecat is a Commander card, full stop — the coin-flip synergy density required to make it function simply doesn't exist in Legacy or Vintage, where it's technically legal but will never see play. In Commander, it slots cleanly into any coin-flip-matters build and scales absurdly with engines that flip multiple coins per turn. Oathbreaker offers a narrower but viable path if the planeswalker and signature spell support a coin-flip loop. Anywhere outside those dedicated synergy shells, Crazed Firecat is a five-mana 4/4 with no keywords, which is not a card.

Price Context
Current price
$0.31 bulk tier
At $0.31, Crazed Firecat is bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not any market demand. It's a stable bulk price; coin-flip decks that want it already have it, and nothing on the horizon changes that ceiling.
