Add Shard to oracle?

[Drake_XIV]

Considering the Oracle is the only feasible way some us can get Nymphs, I guess so.

Are there no better arguments than our personal odds for nymphs ?

it seems not we're all selfish bastards ahah

Ok, I try.
All shards somehow look the same , Shard of Gratitude, Shard of Divinity, all shards of something. Adding them to the oracle is kind of boring, no difference for the player.
"OMG, spinned another Shard of sth *yawning*"
Regular rare cards look different and nymphs - although they all look similar, it´s a big difference, if you get an Amber Nymph, or a Light Nymph.

Arena decks based on cards of "other" are also unpredictable, the player can sometimes choose any color he wants. e.g. 5 SoD can be useful in any oracle deck.
SoR? Many colors could use 5 SoR. The oracle predictions shall restrict the number of decks, a player can create for Arena, that´s the idea of oracle cards for Arena. Too many "other" cards destroy that.

You know (and hate) oraclebows or other decks, which use "dead" oracle cards ? When players "ignore" the oracle card ? Shards are the best card you can get, you can (almost) always play them, and "ignore" them as oracle card. Spin a shard and generate a deck you want... Bad for deck variety.

Means, I vote for "No". 12* No, 11* Yes. (now)

Okay, you're right. I found the piece of code controlling it.

So the algorithm is:

1. Pick a random card.
2. If it is a nymph, then 50% chance to select another card.

The bug was that if a Purple Nymph was chosen it wouldn't select another card. It looks like it's fixed now though (I could be wrong).  So the probability of getting a nymph is actually ... well, I don't know that much about probability yet, so I'm going to say it's about 3.114%. Thanks, Dark Weaver.

Hope that helps

It means that the code uses the second scenario I presented.  (the one with the list that I said was weird :p) It also means that adding shards would decrease the odds of getting all of the nymphs.  (just like adding seraph decreased our odds of getting any nymph by a tiny percentage, not just fire nymphs as would have been the case in my first scenario)

I don't care of shard,because we can farm for it  in Arena.

but nymph not.I only have few

I hope we can get a random nymph for some relic

that would be... interesting, but it would allow easy access to them

I don't care if I can win it from oracle or now, I just wanna see some new, interesting fortunes about shards.
