Leech*
Bloodsucker is taken by upgraded parasite?

Also, is that a yet-to-be-determined cost? This is the Smithy, ET...

So? Ideas are refined in the smithy anyways.

Yes, refined, not created.
If ideas aren't actual cards by the Smithy, then what's the point of the Pre-Smithy?

Cards are refined for balance before they go live. Has Zanzarino ever presented a card without a determinate initial version?

[EmeraldTiger]

fixed

I think the upped would be better suited for 5 attack.

[EmeraldTiger]

I realized after I shut down last night the wording for this is incorrect.
was: Leach gains Vampire and -0|-1.
current: Leach gains Vampire till end of turn and -0|-1.

[Absol]

Should be Leech.
Anyway, the upped version seems powerful with Fractal (total HP net = 1, no quanta aside from is wasted)

[EmeraldTiger]

oops i forgot the activation cost.

I think the Element line is filled out wrong. Unless you intend for blood to be an element instead of costing hp, Leech would fall into one of the current 13 categories. (Probably  )

That would actually be a cool way to introduce a "13th" element without actually creating a new one.
An element where all costs are paid in HP instead of quanta...
Maybe call the element Blood or Sacrifice or something

For Bazar purposes, they could go under "Other"

Elements are defined by quanta. Quanta is defined by a quanta pool.
Alternate cost mechanics, Pseudoquanta and Pseudoelements are great ways to add new themes without adding new elements.

If Blood is not an element then it should not be called an element. Rather the cards would be put in one of the 13 existing categories (I think Darkness for Leech. Other cards might be in other elements or join SoSac in other.)

PS: Most "13th element" ideas are only called such due to misunderstanding the scope of what an element is. Usually the themes are not elemental themes but rather composite or subset themes. Hence why most work better as composite sets or subsets.
