The FFXIAH Card Game

Leon and I are up to something figuring out the rules and having some balancing issues for a card game.
The game is going to be a card game that's based on the forums and the different groups that reside in it. Its going to be a slight mix of different card games but overall be a simple game that could be played with a chance of some custom art for cards.
------------------------------------------------
The Game:
There are 2 types of Cards. Monsters and Magic.
Of the monster cards there put into 4 categories
-RandomThoughts, Linkshell:Ni, Subligars, Everything else.
For magic cards, they are classified into 3 types:
-Light, Dark and Elemental.

Each monster card has a certain amount of health and attack points.
The goal of the game is to beat your opponents monster's and make your opponents life points reach 0.
(Overall you can think of the game as a really simplified version of Poke'mon, YuGiOh and Magic the Gathering all put together)

Each Monster category counter's the other (but crazy overpowering)
The bonus that the monster gets is +1 attack (unless specified by the card description or magic effects).

So for example. If a Subligar monster fights a monster from Randomthoughts (name pending) The Subligar monster will get +1 attack to their current attack rating.

So overall, The objective is to keep your monster's alive through magic/monster abilities, destroy the enemy monsters and defeat your opponents life points.

Magic cards can heal monsters, deal damage to monsters. and destroy other magic cards based on their description/type etc.

-=Current Basic rules=- (work in progress)
-Max of 7 cards in hand (unless specified otherwise)
-Can have up to 5 monster's on the field
-Can have up to 3 magic cards on the field
-Players have 20 health.
-Each time a monster is lost, the player loses 1 health
-When a monster attacks the player directly they lose health equal to the monster's attack
-Magic cards stay on the field permanently unless they are being replaced by another magic card or some card effect.
-If opponent's deck is out of cards they lose
-If opponent has no health points they lose.

RIGHT! LISTEN UP, CHUMPS!

Each player has their own deck of cards, built to their specific style of play.
The game table is laid out the same on each side, with space for the deck, discard pile, 5 monsters and 3 magics. Each player can hold 7 cards in their hand at a time; these are the cards you can put into play (a full hand is drawn from the deck at the start of a match, with 1 card drawn at the beginning of each turn afterwards). If you have more than 7 cards in your hand, you must discard enough cards until you only have 7 in your hand.

Each player has 20 health points, and it is the aim of the game to deplete your opponent's HP before they can deplete yours. A player also loses if they no longer have any cards to draw from their deck at the start of a turn.

Magic cards are simple; they are cards with special effects, such as dealing damage, healing damage or changing how other things work. Each player can only have 3 magic cards active on the field at a given time. Magic cards stay in play until removed by another card's effect or until replaced by another magic card.

Monsters are a little more complex, in that they have their own HP, separate from the player's. They also have attack points which dictate how many HP they take away from other monster's or player's HP when attacking. When a monster's HP reaches 0, it's dead and sent to the discard pile; no longer able to be used for the remainder of the match unless otherwise stated by another card's effects. Upon a monster's death, the owner of that monster loses 1 HP.
Monsters can also have special effects like magic cards, but these will vary wildly so I can't explain any further than that.

Now, each monster belongs to a certain category (Random Thoughts, Linkshell Ni, Everything Else, and Subligar). Each category is powered up when fighting another category. For example; when a Subligar attacks a Random Thoughts, it will gain +1 attack during damage calculation, and so the Random Thoughts will lose 1 more HP than the Subligar's listed attack power.

If, however, your opponent has no monsters in play, your monsters can attack the player directly; dealing damage equal to their attack directly to the player's HP.

AND THAT IS HOW YOU BECOME A POKEMON MASTER!
