I think this will be a suggestion that everyone will like:

Have the oracle give me a card every single day and a nymph in a week. :D

Meh. I'm in partial agreement. The only problem with this is that the amont of electrum is determined by the card you get
I'd like to dispute that to a degree. I've won 3 grey nymphs, the second one came with 1200 coins and the third came with 300 coins.

What the first grey one had I have no clue but i can assure you that it wasn't close to any of that. It was my second nymph ever (got a grvity nymph on my first day playing and on the third day playing the game i got the grey nymph) and If i had gained that much coins in one day i would have remembered it!

So I'm far from convinced about the fact that the cards decide what you get. The usual amount is 5-80 coins for me and the amount is always dividable by 5.


On the OP topic
I think the Oracle is fine as it is but all rare cards should be won immediately instead of being limited to nymphs.
I sympathize with people getting annoyed by not getting the cards they get drawn for them by the oracle and have to look at the button and click it. The button itself is pointless really, you don't get to choose if you want the card from spins after beating the AI so why should there be a button or choice at all?

- Yes, and reveal next three false gods and grant 10k electrum and give 5 pets instead of one.  ::)

Turning a game of random boon into game of gimme everything. That's what OP's suggestion sounds to me.

Just to be perfectly clear, I never once said the Oracle should grant cards and electrum every time you get to talk to the fat man. I just said I felt the Oracle should be a lot more consistent on information everyday. Knowing what the next FG and pet will be won't do anything except give people a once-a-day increased chance to beat at least 1 FG. Even then, the chances aren't increased too much. I know there are many decks designed to beat specific FGs and knowing the next FG you're going to fight will allow you to prep accordingly, but that's no guarantee you'll win. I think many peeps here can attest to the fact they knew their next FG, knew their next pat, used the forums to put the best deck to beat that FG and went in to fight said FG confidently... only to lose.

So, please don't confuse my OP with asking for tons of electrum or cards. I would just like the fat man to be a lot more consistent in predictions and allow everyone a fighting chance against just 1 FG everyday instead of sporadically.

The oracle always telling you what pet you get (and not saying "? ??") is a good idea. Especially since it might show you a  :time card and still give you a stone dragon...

The oracle always telling you what the next fake god is... I don't know what the chances are but I get that info often enougth (at about 50%)  and I think it is fine as it is...

I totally disagree on the last point: The oracle was never intendet as a "card giving machine" that sometimes doesn't work. If you couldn't win any cards from the oracle (exept nymphs) I still wanted to see a card, just for the fun of the fortune text ("A man wearing a blue top hat will attack your friend if she rides the subway")
Its more like "be happy you get a card" and not a "haha you don't get any card" because getting a card is like 10 times as rare.

I agree with everything the OP has said and have thought the exact same things myself before.  I almost exclusively play against the FG's and it would be nice to be able to stratagize my deck once per day knowing what FG and pet I will have.  Also, it really is disheartening to see a rare pop up that you would have loved to have gotten but just get a fortune instead.  Especially since like I said I almost always play against FG's so I don't get many chances at unupgraded rares.
