NAME: Ice Golem ELEMENT: Water COST: 5 :water TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 5 | 5 TEXT: If your weapon or shield are destroyed by your opponent, autocast this card for free.	NAME: Frost Golem ELEMENT: Water COST: 5 :water TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 6 | 6 TEXT: If your weapon or shield are destroyed by your opponent, autocast this card for free.

ART: hermite/steel golem recolored IDEA: russianspy1234 NOTES: A "vanilla" autocast card, mostly because water is so versatile, and I kind of painted myself into a corner with this one. SERIES: Autocast  (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,41295.0.html)

More like a splitsecond reaction to something being knocked out of your hand.  In my mind i pictured the golem looking far more haphazard and malformed, but didn't find any art to match.

So :water, the element that has the most duo possibilities, is given a vanilla auto-cast. Lolzy.
It's kinda underpowered compared to abyss crawler, unless you know your opponent is carrying PC.

yup... i originally wanted to give it an off element ability, however i wanted one that water didn't currently duo with, as well as an ability that didnt use an element already used by an autocast, however that did not leave me with many options, and since i did want a vanilla creature for one of the autocasts, i just did that.

with the autocast, it's supposed to be slightly worse than what you would normally get for the cost.  i valued the autocast ability at about 1.5 quanta.
