Literally the third line of the OP.
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

Finally someone else who sees the potential! I've been doing 3-5 oracle builds against Terran and Zerg for months now. They're great units but they require some practice and skill in using properly. You have to be very energy efficient and baby sit micro them quite a bit, which is probably why it turns most players off from using them. Against Terran revelation is great in the mid game, it's very hard for them to attack you when you can always see their army. The attack is great for killling stray units and killing scvs and envision obviously counters cloak and burrow play.

Oracles FTW! Great guide.

I really hope this style becomes standard in PvT. So much more fun and interesting than more traditional styles, and with the new patch, it could be really effective in the hands of skilled players.

This build still works great, had a lot of success with it in the lower leagues (gold/plat). Terrans seem to get very upset when 4 oracles show up in their base and start melting it at light speed.

If you have climbed to master and kept playing with this, does it still work?

Definitely after the new patch, with the widow mine buff? Seems like widow mines would be good vs this.
To pray is to accept defeat.

I started doing this at Masters and still find great success with it.
Widow Mines are good versus it but the buff had no change on it really as they one shotted Oracles before the patch anyway.
As I detailed in the full original post, with enough practice you will easily work your way around any Mines to do damage.

Out of the few hundred times I have done this build myself, this has happened a total of 0 times to be successful, in fact, whenever they did try that, it made it an even easier match.

I think the most essential question here is why this build isn't called "Fouracles."
