NOTES:
Submission for the Mythology Card Design Competition (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21598.0.html)

Leprechaun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechaun)'s origin is in the Irish mythology.

It is said that the Leprechaun hides a pot of gold at the end of a Rainbow and one way to get his gold is to find a Leprechaun and help him so he will give you a generous gift.

As for the card, a rainbow is considered to have 5 or more different elements, so when there are 5 or more Permaments of different elements in the game, you have a standing rainbow. The Leprechaun will give you a little Electrum as a reward and disapears. (Is not destroyed and does not trigger death effects.)

What the electrum award is can be discussed, I was thinking about a 10% boost to your total gained Electrum up to a maximal boost of 60%. (to prevent Fractal/Mindgate abuse)

might be interesting as long as you only receive the electrum bonus if you win the game(which would prevent at least most of the potential for abusing this card).  Being Other, the cost could probably use a slight increase as well.

I like how you're trying to tie ingame cards  (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19892.0.html) to earning electrum. :D

However, when not taking the the eletrum gain effect into consideration, this is an other creature with a self-removal effect.  I'm not sure if that justifies the +1 stats ( ideally this creature should be 1 | 2 / 2 | 3 according to most balancing formulas or have it's cost raised by 1-3),  but it seems pretty close to being balanced.

When you lose a game, you get anyway only 0 electrum. Even a 60% boost wouldn't change much there ;)

As for the cost, I intentionally set it this low, so this creature can be used even in PvP. It has an even better Cost/Attack ratio than a Frog but at the same time most shields will just make it useless and if there are too many different Permaments it even gets removed, restricting your deckbuilding.

Yay for Bank =)

IMO this removal effect should be enough to justify the +1 stat.
In a mono or duo deck, this creature is too expensive for its stats. In any deck with more elements your pretty fast run into the problem of the self removal by just playing a couple of pillars.
But in a rushbow this can be pretty awesome cheap hitter, but again you have the problem of self removal. Quantum Towers + Fog Shield + Weapon are already 3 different elements and when your opponent runs a non mono, you better keep immolating those leprechauns.

-You misspelled the card's NAME within the TEXT section of your table (It should read 'Leprechaun' instead of 'Laprechaun').
