Make them free cast cards that are one use only, win or lose.  Possibly available to buy in the bazzar?  This could prevent most abuse.

The solution to potential abuse is a non-abusable formula.

As it is, the current formula is entirely non-abusable (50% simple). For example, an EM win on a False God would reward 180 with one of these used, 240 with two, 300 with three, etc. With six it would reward 480 and with twelve 840. In fact, it should probably be raised to 100-200%, or a non-linear formula should be used. Ideas?

Make them not count one of the thirty cards required for the deck, and auto-remove them from the deck during PvP1 and PvP2.

But then no one would use them. Think about it - the mere presence of them lowers the deck's chance of winning, and the bonus at the moment isn't that great.

Do you actually want them to be used in places such as PvP1, which probably already has the highest reward-to-difficulty ratio out of most battles?

It also has one of the lowest reward-to-time ratios. So yes. I do.

If you want to grind, grind AI. If you want to have a fun, competitive PvP match, you don't expect nor want your opponent to start trolling with useless cards that will not help them win.

What patch said.
On another note...
With the current formula, a 500 HP EM would grant 1280  :electrum , right?

if you put 6 of both in a deck and battle lvl 0 then.............. ???
You can't use six of both as one is the upped form of the other.

And you would get either 4 coins or 4 score.

You can't auto remove cards from a deck, in PVP or AI. There could be 24 card decks in PVP, what an OTK abuse! xD

Think about it.
