Designing my own TCG based on my own universe and its lore :D

So, I have a world I created. I already have several novels and a TTRPG I'm working on, and thought that my world would also work really well as a TCG. In my world there are 5 realms parallel to the material realm, and mages draw power from those realms to power their magic. The places where the realms overlap with the material realm are called ley-lines, overlaps, or convergences.

Some mages can channel more than 1 realm.

The Five Realms
Trading Card Game

The Premise

Each player has 100 loyalty.

Realm cards are used similar to lands in MtG. You tap them for mana. Just like MtG, there are 5 facets of mana (called colours in MtG)

Basic realm cards:
Shadowrealm - Shadow mana
Fae Realm - Elemental mana
Elysium - Life mana
Astral Realm - Reality mana
Dreamworld - Psychic mana

Shadow + Life = Necromancy; using the graveyard to reanimate stuff

Life + Reality = Mutations; adding counters, changing properties

Elaborate Enunciation - Once per turn you may pay 1 Shadow + 1 Psychic mana to confuse target creature.

Confuse: When a confused creature attacks, flip a coin. Heads - attack as normal. Tails - the attack damages oneself.

Athenoran Crystal
Artefact - Crystal

Shadow spells cost 1 mana less for each Athenoran Crystal on your field. Spells cannot be reduced below 0 mana.

Ashen Wand

Item - Focus

Equipped creature's mana abilities cost 1 less Life mana. Mana abilities cannot be reduced below 0 mana.

A mutation spell
Life + Reality spell
Target creature becomes an xyz in addition to its other creature types.

Another mutation spell
Life + Reality spell
Target creature gains +1/+1 for each creature type amongst creatures you control.

Chimera Heart
Artefact - Biological

If you control 10 or more creature types at the start of your turn, you win the game.

I added an alternate win condition at the end with the Chimera Heart, rewarding players for interacting with the mutations.

Also a spell, unlike in MtG, does not refer to all permanents. It is the equivalent of an instant or sorcery.
