Heres my duelist, its obviously themed after Yu-Gi-Oh, and is designed to be a summoner/caster. However the Duelist doesnt have much control over what card he gets so he has to think quickly and be creative with what he has. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

The Card Mage can own as many cards as he wishes but may only have a limited number of cards in his deck. He determines what cards are in his deck each day just as how a Wizard prepares spells. A Card Mage starts play with 1 card per Wis mod.

The creatures that a Card Mage summons are referred to as Incarnum Shadows. When a creature dies the Card mage may roll a capture check, 1d20+class level, within 1min/ levels to capture some of the dying creature’s Incarnum and create a copy of it.
