'''Leprechaun''' is an [[Action]]-[[Doom]] card from [[Nocturne]].  It's a {{Card|Gold}} [[gainer]] that can also gain {{Card|Wish|Wishes}} if you play it with exactly 7 cards in play; if you don't meet this condition, it instead [[Hex]]es you.
== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* Cards you have in play normally include Leprechaun itself, other cards you have played this turn, and [[Duration]] cards from previous turns that have not removed themselves from play. 
* Cards that were in play but no longer are - e.g. a {{Card|Pixie}} you trashed - do not count.

=== Other rules clarifications ===
* This checks for the number of cards you have in play after gaining the {{Card|Gold}}. This means that if you have 6 cards in play (including the Leprechaun), you can react to the gained {{Card|Gold}} with a {{Card|Sheepdog}}, and that will count for the {{Card|Wish}}.

== Strategy ==
===Synergies===
*{{card|Storyteller}} since its easy to get 6 cards in play and you will probably draw your Leprechaun in the process.
*{{card|Wharf}}
*Many [[Throne Room variant]]s make it possible to gain Wishes with Leprechaun more than once per turn.

{{Quote|Text=<p>Today I get to preview the most fun-loving Doom card of all, Leprechuan.</p>
<p>Leprechaun costs {{Cost|3}} and gains you {{Card|Gold}}. What a deal! But unless you’re careful, the Leprechaun will also play a prank on you. Just going by the Hexes previewed today, your Gold might come with a Copper on your deck, or you’ll have to trash a {{nowrap|{{Cost|3}} &ndash; {{Cost|4}}}} card, or maybe all your {{Card|Silver|Silvers}} and Golds will be {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} this turn. Is it worth it? I guess that depends.</p>
<p>If you ''are'' careful, you’ll gain a Wish instead of receiving a Hex. Getting that Wish isn’t trivial, though. You have to have exactly 7 cards in play when you play your Leprechaun. This will normally include the Leprechaun itself. It also includes any Duration cards that are still in play from previous turns. It’s something to shoot for in your Leprechaun games, assuming you think you can get that Wish in time to draw it before the game ends.</p>

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=The initial idea here was a card that gave you a [[Boon]] someone else picked. Then it was a random Boon, and then became the impetus for changing the Boons to be random. You can blame it all on the Leprechaun. Originally it cost {{Cost|5}}, and gave you a Gold and a warped Boon and had the Wish clause. There was talk of the random Boon somehow being mandatory, so that a few of them could end up hurting you. But you know what would really hurt? Something that always hurt. So Leprechaun also was the impetus behind the Hexes. And it gave you a Hex and well. Good times. At first it always hexed you, but I liked it better exempting you if you got the Wish.

=== Donald X.'s opinions ===
{{Quote|Text= If you want {{Card|Gold}}s it's solid. It starts making them right away and the penalty isn't so bad. When you've got enough {{Card|Gold}}s, stop playing it. If you want {{Card|Wish}}es, that doesn't just happen, though the pros are making it happen more than we were.
