In order to pay to put out creatures, spells, etc you need to remove a number of the counters = to the cost. Works kind of like mana from MTG. Removing excess counters won't cause any damage, and the excess dissipates at the end of the turn it was drawn on.

This is a quick concept I tried to make, didn't give it much thought so it looks pretty standard

Actually that card is almost exactly what I am looking for! With a different background for all the types..lose the 1 up top and replace it with a 'research' symbol and keep the name of the card on the other corner. 
Instead of
Creature
Mechanical
Maybe it should be
Mechanical - Creature.
Would be perfect for my needs.
And yes food for humanoids would all be the same. Yes I know that logically people do not all eat the same thing, but for sake of consistancy you have to forgo logic sometimes.

Perfect in my opinion. Those cards would allow me to do just exactly what I need. Soon I will be putting down the 'level 1' (there are no levels, but the cheapest/weakest of the creatures and such so I will use the word level).
Now the main differences between the different types (mechanical, humanoid, etc).
Mechanical cost a bit more to 'get out' but they are like 'hevies' higher att and health then the other kinds. It would be a slower type.
Humanoid I hate to use the word average, but there it is. Not all will be human however. Some creatures that normally would fall under Magical will be here and not have magic (and will be called something else of course).
Magical - Weaker attack then the other groups but more special abilities then most.
Etheral - Weaker in health but with a common ability ammoung them..Etheralness which can allow them to avoid half damage from any non etheral source. There are exceptions (Which would be listed on the card), and other etheral creatures do full damage to other etheral creatures automatically.

I will redo the background coloristic on all of them once I get a list of cards but the problem I have is with lighter colours because white text becomes invisible.
I can:
1) make some of the cards have black fonts
2) choose a more substantial font but that would decrease description space
3) add a transparent layer under the text to make it more visible
So far I like the 3rd option best

Magic set editor? what's that?
No, I'm using a graphic program (similar to Photoshop - it's called RealDraw Pro), so I am free to change everything I want

Internet Explorer is a program that allows you too browse internet from your computer and back.
But resonable people use professional tools. How many cards created with MSE look real? None. It's only a toy with no actual use.

Most people i know use MSE and their cards look like they came straight out of WOTC's files.
its a very potent program.
@veco those are really nice looking.

Sweet!
I'm trying to make a CCG too. My problem is logistics (i.e, actually getting the cards printed or alternately writing up a program to run it with). 
That, and I lack discipline. I get pumped up about it for a few days, and then, crash! Then I stop working on it for a few months.

if you have no ability (and patience) for graphic programs, it's the best thing to use. And there are a lot downloadable other card frames for other games, amongst them "dvorak" a game which,a s far as I know, was designed to make own cards and is not good with backgrounds, but very free in technical card design.
qmytical: nice. I suppose the ability of rolling spikes not to work on flying units?!?
