Alright, since someone else already posted a suggestion here, I'm just going to go ahead and post mine as well. I really, really love this game - pretty much everything about it. My only problem is that I don't have the time to participate in things like Tournaments, Leagues, War, etc. I really wish I did, and I've tried, but in the end things happen and I can't keep up my commitments. Normally, this is fine as it only affects me. But for something like War (which I haven't tried to participate in, btw, it lets others down.) So I just don't do them. Again, all that's okay, it's a part of life. But it means that my only avenue to getting nymphs is through the oracle... which is by far the most frustrating aspect to the game to me.

Now, I get that they're super ultra rare cards, and I like that about them. I really do, and I agree that they should be. But couldn't there be new questlines where the end result is winning a nymph? And I'm talking hard questlines here. And a different one for each nymph. Like 10-12 progressively harder matches until you end up fighting the "Nymph Lord" of a particular element or something like that. Hell, I'll even take something like 25 matches if you really want to go balls to the wall with it. I mean, then you're talking 120-300 matches (not counting losses) just to get one of each. I don't want them to be easy to get, I'd just like an option to pursue them other than complete and total randomness.

Same thing happened when the new pillar art launched. I don't understand why people get this worked up over it, but it's not very motivational to say the least.

You wouldn't HAVE to do it... It would just be another option to getting them. I can't see how it would be more frustrating than having NO options.

How many nymphs do you have?  I used to be somewhat annoyed too about this, but after spinning quite a number of nymphs, I've found that most of them are just there to spiff up my collection.  Assuming they aren't getting an overhaul anytime soon, they're really not great for the most part.  The attraction is literally because they can only be won from the oracle (and tournaments, but since most people take marks, it doesn't really count).  Adding in a way to get them without pure luck will change that perception, no matter the difficulty (of course, if it's ludicrously difficult, it will cause more frustration, and yes, probably more than just hoping for one from the oracle).

Just be patient and spin the oracle everyday.  Hopefully you can sort of understand what I'm trying to get at eventually.  (Again, assuming the nymphs stay about the same).

Having said that, I wouldn't be opposed to increasing the odds of getting a nymph from the oracle.  The 50/50 chance of respinning could be removed, and the chance would still be fairly low.  But that's a judgment call.

I love the new art me too, plus I welcome the changes in 1.3 and 1.31 too, I would like Elements to be a bit less frustrating and this seems a great patch to me in that sense.
Thanks for this great game!
