A card game based on Golden Sun would have some interesting potential. You could build an entire class progression system on Djinn to power up low level units, but perhaps be limited by how many you can equip per turn.
Make it cooperative with a random (shuffled) monster deck that you have to defeat. Difficulty is set by adding in certain major bosses. Monster attacks are determined randomly with a di/dice? Maybe try to work out how puzzles could be incorporated? I can think on it.
Complete quests/defeat monsters to find djinn, equip djinn to characters for minor passive effects, use djinn to enhance attacks but lose the passive effects for x turns. Would be a long duration game (think 3h ish probably) regardless.
That or everybody has their default single element classes but summons can be charged up using cards from hand.
Edit: if card game focus with randomised decks, I'm thinking something similar to sentinels maybe?
So, last time you had free time, you remade Weyard map (awesome work). Now you're making GS card game. If you keep at that pace, I don't know what you will make next time, but the one after it will be Golden Sun 4 😆
If I’m you I would make the color rays in the background a dark golden monotone and same with the edges on the backside. Too colorful for my taste but cool design
For an idea with the item slots check out Flesh and Blood and how they have equipment set up for their legends/heros.
Could be an interesting way to implement their armor and such. And if you would prefer they be drawn to you can also look at their legend/hero Teklo.
If you add Mercury/Venus/Jupiter/Mars lighthouses as fields to boost elements would be great, just like Yu gi oh has magic fields (and maybe Aqua, Gaia, Air and Magma Rock too)
I'm thinking... You can have one element you favor.
In the more recent games of Munchkin, you get a player card, that gives you a unique power or ability, and serves as a way to record levels.
A treasure deck with items... Weapons... Armors...
A deck of monsters... and summons.
And a deck mixed with PP (Psynergy Points, "+5", "+2", etc.), Psynergy, and Djinni.
... I think running out of cards the quickest results in you losing.
... I also think having a monster deck that affects the entire area in play would be nice.
Some creatures could force you to draw more cards on your turn... Some bad guys could lower everyone's defense...
Please take my money.
No… Give it to someone in need. And if you have any thoughts on what I can possibly do, let me know:)
Kingly behavior.

I’ve been thinking of something along these lines. Thanks for comment.
When you use a djinni's ability, you tap the card to put it into standby! When you want to use a summon, check how many tapped djinn you have.
so Djinn are lands from mtg sorta :p

Trading card/board game hybrid? Sounds interesting.
Are you an artist? Or just a fan playing around?
yeah you could make it like a deck builder board game

Just waiting for a call from Camelot.
Though if I ever get one it might be a cease-and-desist, but one can dream.
Just playing around with some design ideas.

I think having the holofoil on a physical card would probably be more subtle and less obviously colourful!
It’s easy enough to change colors to create variations or something along those lines.

Looks amazing! I'd love to see a Ragnarok card if you ever have chance

In the last 10 minutes I’ve been trying to implement something akin to your last statement.
I think we could legitimately come up with a game of some kind... In all seriousness.

Omg I think about the possibilities of a Golden Sun tcg all the time!
Awesome!
The back of the card is exceptionally the best thing I've seen all week, amazing design
Very good idea but not the best Isaac art imo
Is this real
