Uhm, well how would i go about the effects and requirements? That's pretty much what i'm asking. I'm still kinda new to programming, so i don't know what methods i could use to make those effects and requirements, and make the program respond to that. That's my problem.

First, you need to sit down and figure out all (or a great deal) of the effects that you'll need. You'll then have flags for each effect in the card structure.

i.e.

struct Card{      int attack;      int defence;      bool spell;      bool invincible;      bool fire_element;      bool water_element;      bool stone_element;      bool impervious_to_spells;};

So, for instance, if the 'invincible' variable is 'true', then the creature that the card represents is invincible. In fact, you might even go so far as to define a Card base class and then have derived classes for spells, creatures, etc, etc, but that's probably a little too advanced at the moment.

So, run with that for a while and see how you go. But, I'm just letting you know now, in order to keep it flexible, you'll probably be re-writing this a couple of times, if not more, over the development life of the game. But, if you do it properly, it will be an absolute cinch to add new cards, and have those cards be used with no problems whatsoever.

Edit::
Instead of relying on booleans to define your card type, you'll probably want to use enums:

enum CardType{      CARDTYPE_CREATURE,      CARDTYPE_SPELL,      CARDTYPE_I_DONT_KNOW_YUGIOH_SO_I_CANT_ADD_ANOTHER_CARD_TYPE};struct Card{      CardType card_type;      // everything else};// later on in the codevoid useCard(Card c){      if( c.card_type == CARDTYPE_CREATURE )            // do stuff      else if( c.card_type == CARDTYPE_SPELL )            // do more stuff}

Did that help?
