IDEA:
Le Coyote
NOTES:
If successful, the creature disappears from your opponent´s board and appears in yours. A creature having a cost of 2 would have 50% NUP and 100% UP to defect, one of cost 10 would have a 10% NUP and 20% UP.  The damages are the current creature´s attack (i.e. including all buffs) but when it joins your side, it is only the basic creature without the buffs (it would probably be too OP with buffs). I though of adding a counter, i.e. the more a creature is targeted the more chance it has to join your side.

I like your creativity and originality.

One problem is however that "stealing" creatures or them changing sides is not something the creator of Elements is willing to implement. So I'm afraid this won't have a chance of ever making it into the game.

If you want to keep this concept however, I suggest searching for art that resembles the electrum used in game (more like :electrum gold coins).

Good luck!

The text in the table should match the text on the card. The explanation such as the bribing formula should be in the notes.
Your tittle should be Bribe|Corruption.
I aggree with Jappert concerning the art. Euro is a nice and colourful currency but it's not the one used in the game.

Concerning the mechanic itself, as Jappert said it a difficult field that you try to labour. Stealing creature is a "big deal" mechanic. However, I think that your idea in nice. It's not an instant kill because only part of the creatures will change side. Linking the percentage to the cost of the creature might seem fair. Obviously the buffs are disregarded.
A Pharaoh for example cost 9 :time and would have then about 11% change to change side. The unupped card cost 4 :darkness . The cost looks fair to me but I'm not an expert.
