First, I would like to note that the plot and characters right now are a bit more filler than anything, the main point i'm trying to get critiqued and feedback on is the means of battle i'm trying to use. As I would enjoy feedback on all of this, the most important to me right now is my proposed mechanics.

GAMEPLAY
The gameplay will, from the tournament on, be adventuring through the island searching for opponents to duel and win against to gain enough point to enter the final matches. Different terrain, dungeons, puzzles and other challenges await. Rest points will have card shops to buy new decks and booster packs to up your game. YOu're also able to unlock new patrons and upgrade their abilites.
As far as battle, Xander prefers to use himself as one of the patrons, a tactic never before seen or used by another duelist thus far.

Booster packs can be used in battle to replentish your cards available and also mkay give you a rare card which will summon a special attack.
