Suggestion: Regarding bad card draws from the Oracle https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=30776.msg390893#msg390893

I'm currently level 43 so I am on the low end of the gold rank in arena.  I have a nice variety of upgraded cards in the fire element, but none in the other elements.  To be competitive in the arena I should ideally be using upped cards.  I have gone a few days without drawing something I can make a competitive deck with so instead, I put up a deck of all un-upped rare cards that is guaranteed to lose: 

- Using 0 out of 43 skill points (you don't have to use skill points)
- Mark of Time (useless mark since deck has no time cards)
5x Useless Oracle Card (required to build the arena deck)
1x Useless Oracle Card (I only have 5 Pulverizers so I had to add a card to meet the 35 card minimum)
6x Arsenic
6x Titan
6x Fahrenheit
6x Vampire Stiletto
5x Pulverizer

Whoever is lucky enough to fight it the few times before the deck falls out of the top 500 will have:

1. Double the coin reward for an Elemental Mastery win (since none of the cards in the deck are playable with mark I selected)
2. Three high percentage chance spins featuring rare cards
3. A guaranteed notch on their current consecutive win count in the gold rank arena

The alternative would be to put up my current upped fire deck (with 5 uncastable Oracle cards) and let it play for one day until I can draw a new card at the Oracle tomorrow.  This would probably net me a whopping 25 coins or so.  Since it takes less than a minute to earn that much in the arena, I figure why not give a little back to the community.  If more people did the same when they had a string of bad luck at the Oracle the entire community would reap similar rewards. 

Feel free to share any thoughts on this topic, as well as ways to improve it.

Edit: Readability, spelling

You can also do this when you have a good deck that's aged to 1hp.  If your Oracle card is weak and you have positive rating, then you can put up a farming deck.

Yeah, it's called a farm deck, people used to make them all the time in Top 50. And it's actually better to use 2 different rare weapons and make the rest be pillars, since pillars will usually be re-drawn if they are picked in the slots.
Somehow still around, somewhat
