How chess should be changed

Here's an original idea: changing chess. I have recently thought of a way to change chess to make it more interesting and provide an RNG element to chess as well as increasing the skill ceiling.

Ok, so first I'll add nine classes to chess. Each class will have 30 health and a unique ability aka hero powers. The goal of chess now is to destroy the opposing class/hero. To destroy the opposing hero you need cards. Forget about pieces, you now play with collectable cards. Each hero have unique cards which will help define class archetypes. Of course there will be some cards that all classes can use. Each player uses a deck of cards from their collection with a maximum of 30 cards in your deck. There are four different types of cards: minions, spells, weapons, and hero cards. Cards are ordered by rarity: legendary, epic, rare, and common.

All cards cost a certain amount of "mana" which is a budget each player must abide by and each turn players get 1 mana with a maximum of 10. This involves strategy as the player must plan ahead. Minions and spells are unique. Minions can be placed on the board and may carry a special effect. Minions also have a different amount of attack and health. Minions will high attack and health will obviously cost more mana. For example, a minion can have 3 attack and 3 health and it will give another minion +1 attack. This minion will probably cost something like 3 or 4 mana. Spells have a distinctive effect on the board. For example, you can have a spell that does 6 damage that will cost 4 mana or a spell that heals your hero 6 health that cost 3 mana.

I believe this new version of chess will increase the skill ceiling as players will have to build decks with cards to work well together also the deck will be shuffled at the before the match and random cards will be drawn. This way there will be no openings. You will have 3 cards if you're white (going first) and 4 cards if you're black. This will give both players advantages instead of white having an advantage for nothing. This new version of chess is by far more complex and require more skill than current chess will ever have.

What are your thoughts?

I think you are insane, and have just described every PVP TCG ever made.

Hey, that sounds great, then everyone can forget it existed in ~2 years, like all the other crap games that come out that no one remembers the name of.

Not that I didn't realize you're a troll from the first sentence ^
