Alternative to mana tapping card games

I came up with another solution, there are 2 ways to go by this. Ok how about I return to using cards as mana. So 1 way once per turn after you draw choose 1 card any card in your hand and place it face down on the side of the field. You can keep doing this once per turn, you can then spend the mana and after you do you discard the mana cards to the discard pile instead of recharging per turn. And the discard pile has a chance to return to the deck or your hand through card effects or something. The other way is once per turn you can choose to draw a card and add it to your hand or choose to send the top card in your deck to the mana pile. You don't look at your card u just put it straight in the mana pile. I could even increase it by 2 so once per turn you can draw 1 card or send 2 cards from your deck to the mana pile

oh yeah, i see

could also not be a deck out mechanic.

if u run out of cards in your deck area, can shuffle them to form a new deck

What do you say about having mana random, if you been reading my evolution posts, im planning on changing the mechanics, but that is unrelated to this right now.

So i had a crazy thought, yes its crazy, i got the idea of a previous poster saying that each turn you only have 1 point to spend. I was thinking what about a dice that will determine the outcome of your mana this round

Lets say you have 4 monsters on the field and to evolve them all you need atleast 5 points, so you roll the die and you get 5, ok so i can evolve 2 of my heroic cards into epic cards which they require 1 point each and i have 3 left over and the epic card i just played requires 3 points to evolve into its final stage, oh i have that card in my hand. so ill spend it and evolve it again.

Next turn comes i need 3 points to evolve my other monster, i roll a 2..too bad.

i know people do not like much randomness in games especially using a dice, but it was just an idea....a crazy idea, i might end up forgetting about this mechanic all together just throwing some ideas out there

Yeah I’m thinking of having first 10 cards in your deck act as players life point ( will reduce it if the games take too long). At any point you can pick up a card from your life points to reshuffle your discard pile into the deck

Yeah that idea came and gone, wasnt even thinking too far ahead with it.

I have another idea which will replace the cube energy resources and the mana tap from cards.

So hope you been following my other post or else you might get confused what im about to say.

I might change my monsters ATK/DEF stats too pure power stat so only 1 stat such as 2000 power,if opponent has 2000 or more then that card is defeated. and to help with resources, the monster card will have another power stat maybe on the side of the card called evolution stat or something, so maybe a stat of 1000, on your turn, if you want to evolve a monster it may require maybe 3000 evo stat, so you just sacrifice these monsters in your hand to the discard pile and then evolve into the new monster. There might be no deck out option either so if you run out of cards in your deck then you discard your entire hand and reshuffle your discard pile into a new deck and the draw say 5 cards.

I was going to write this on my other post but this one seems to be more active so, so as for the players life, at the start of the game you draw 10 cards from your deck and add them face down at the side and when a monster defeats another monster on the field, the defeated monster's player draws a card from their life and add it to their hand.

Ill still update my other post for future changes but decide to write this as it was on topic for the most part.

right now i need to figure out what will happen to the defeated monster?, does the defeated monster lose an evolved form? so you need to evolve it to the next tier again or should the whole monster and its forms be removed from the field including the novice monster. Or should the monster only become a rested state for one turn or something
