Only Miracle.

Are you sure? There are 144 HB out there...

Lol,no. There are much much more since decks are semi random.
I'm 100% sure for oracle & nearly 100% sure for HBs.

Semi-random, yes. 24 of each element, 12 for a version with more pillars (1st part of his name), 12 for the mark and less pillars (Last part of the name). There are 2 light versions, and none of them contain Miracle.

As for Oracle, there are a fate-thingy for it, but it isn't in the pools for some reason unknown for me.

No idea where you're gettin' info from.

The marks of the HB should be lowered to 2x instead of 3x. Even now they are still a bit too near to the FGs.

I'm excited about the update to the Oracle. Getting a good card, yet not being able to keep it was a cause for frustration a couple of times.

The only thing I really don't like about the art is the the unupped and upped dragons don't have different art. It bothers me because it should, as it used to, and every dragon should. Otherwise it's awesome and much better than some of the old.

I agree. So should Arctic Dragon. 
Vrt's art is still better than the old art though.

woot, 1.3 just came and 1.31 so soon? Awesome!

Currently in trainer.

New cards:
Psion

Nice idea and seems fairly balanced at 5|5 (upped).

Balance:
The Oracle always grants the chosen card

Reasonable update, I wonder what was the reason it originally gave out the cards so infrequently, was it because of the data usage of random cards filling all the accounts?

Half-Blood HP reduced to 150

Doesn't make them worth farming over some arenas, but my fine-tuned rainbow aggro that did consistent ~95% win ratio can't wait to win 2 turns faster

Firefly queen cost reduced to 6

Why? FFQ is the #1 best creature in the entire game and it gets even better? Madness.
Oh, and I absolutely love the new art.

Pharaoh stats increased to 4/9

Also not sure if needed, this guy became pretty strong thanks to updated SoR, this little buff won't change much.

Shard of focus HP reduced to 1
Shard of focus turns into a black hole when HP>45

Yesss, it's a fair card this way. Not anymore an auto-include everywhere but still a decent option when PC is needed.
Original version is blatantly imba and it was very obvious on first sight, I still don't know how it made through the tests into live release.

Upgraded shard of focus cost increased to 6
Upgraded shard of focus generates upgraded black holes

That's Reasonable and perhaps even a buff. I can still first turn drop it off 2 QTs but the chance I'll actually cast the black hole out of it gets much better (talking about rainbow decks obviously).

Bug fix:
- Score and electrum gained are correctly calculated for an arena win (5 coins/score points were missing)

IMPORTANT: This bug exists also in PvP(2), is that fixed in 1.31 as well ? ?

- Fractal and nightmare do not cause random bugs anymore (hopefully) when used by AI on an evading creature
- The opponent dissipation shield does not block weapons anymore if sanctuary is also in play
- Shard of focus turns into a black hole only when the accretion skill is activated

UI:
New lycanthrope, pufferfish, colossal dragon, sapphire charger and firefly queen art (by vrt and pepokish)

Great update overall!

Would it be possible for this patch to become live in 1-2weeks? SoFo balance would certainly help for leagues :>

[majofa]

Waits eagerly for what zanz is just about to post...

Auburn, Grey, Queen, and Blue Nymphs stats increased to 6/8 - 7/9 if upgraded
Upgraded turquoise nymph stats increased to 9/4
Upgraded White nymph stats increased to 7/9
Green Nymph cost reduced to 8

This ^

It's a step in the right direction.  I still think all Shards (not just SoSac) need to be limited to no more than 6 played by the AI, though.
