Are there any (official) scenarios that actually use the EE?

I saw in one scenario it states the player can use any creature and marks a hex on the baseline for it, but also states it gets no lair. In this case could you get the EE without having to summon it, or would you place the circle on the baseline?

There currently are no official scenarios that require the EE, and as it is still exclusively a promotional piece, until that changes I doubt there will be any. However, as you noted, any to date released creature can be used in place of any other creature - they all have the same 1 war council level cost.

Unless special rules state otherwise, anytime the EE is used, the summoning circle is placed where one would normally place a creature. I'm not sure if the summoning circle is considered a lair, per se, but it certainly behaves differently from the other lairs in that it is removed from the board as it is removed from the board as soon as the creature appears.

Have fun with the Earth Elemental - like all the creatures, discovering its strengths and weaknesses is an enjoyable part of the game.

EDIT: nevermind about that claim that there won't be any official adventures featuring the EE. I had forgotten that there are a couple featuring the Hill Giant (albeit Web Exclusive scenarios). Perhaps the EE will pop up in some soon.

Somebody get a Scenario Editor up and running and I will create what I think is a great scenario for the Earth Elemental. I have the idea but don't have a way to publish it yet.
