Let's see... how about this system.

If your fortune for the day is a card available at the Bazaar, you receive 2/3 of the gold that it would normally cost.
If your fortune for the day is a rare card, you receive 100 for a Weapon, 120 for a Creature, and 140 for a Spell.
If your fortune for the day is a nymph, you keep it.

And I can help write fortunes. If anyone needs me to.
Dont forget that zanz said sometimes it will be a free card :P

So Zanz to clarify the intent would be only to add nymphs into the oracle and not have it in spins at all?

I think that is what the intent is.

It will totally slow down the rate at which people can get nymphs. I personally think they should be able to be won in spins, but maybe using a different formula than the current spinner system.

I think the current system works something like this:
1. pick a card from your opponents deck
2. if it is a pillar return to step one
3. if after 10 picks it is still a pillar keep it.
4. repeat steps 1 to 3 until Four cards are chosen
5. Spin 3 spinners using the 4 cards chosen
6. if all 3 spinners return the same card, you keep it.

(might be completely simplified or completely wrong)

But I think Nymphs should be winnable-on-defeating an opponent, just extremely rare:1
1) Not many opponents will have them to start off with
2) The chances of it coming up in the spinner at all are very slim
3) The chances of it appearing 3 times in the spinner are even slimmer.

Not to mention the fact that the time people would have to use to get a full deck of Nymphs would take FOREVER (good thing), so having them be rarer-than-rare in the slots is fine in my books.

There are actually 5 cards chosen, Evilhamster made a thread about it, but i can't seem to find the link. Hopefully someone else will remember the title.

lol on the 100 accounts thing. what purpose does making 100 accounts serve JUST to get one nymph. not to mention the fact that it may not be the element you want. NOT TO MENTION the fact that the chances of drawing a nymph (if you only have 1) is AT MOST 1/30, which isnt that high. the 100 account thing is just a waste of time and shouldnt even be considered an effective nymph strategy.

Id rather earn my nymph than get one for free by chance... make some uber hard quest that gives a chance to win a nymph.

that can be abused. people can get a lot of practice doing that and eventualy make a nymph farm deck. thus making the card mainstream. thats exactly what we are all avoiding

Unless, of course, Zanz makes it a quest that can only be done once, just like the Rare Weapon quest.
