as far as i can tell, you've proposed magic with one change, and the rest kind of follows naturally by designing around that change. you're replacing mana screw with a more mitigable color screw- you can circumvent it entirely if you're willing to run a 1-color deck
i think before designing a new game, you would enjoy playing a bunch of existing card games that are different from magic to varying amounts. it's certainly a lot faster than bumping into the same design issues yourself
While doing this, ask yourself- why are they fun? why are they not fun? how much randomness do they have? where do they put the randomness?
you don't need to buy them- the ones that aren't free you can play on open source platforms or with proxies

vintagegin also mentioned faeria. maybe worth dropping $10 on?

maybe even stuff like arkham horror, artifact, age of sigmar: champions, infinity wars tcg, minion masters, stormbound, fftcg, etc. there are just so many.
something that already exists might be what you're looking for. i had my eyes opened to the wild world of board games in the mid 2010s and it's been a fun ride

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
I have a little more time to expand now. Here's some more basic infostart playtesting with paper cards! it could be a lot of fun. given how similar the proposal is to magic, you could even just start playtesting with magic cards you already own
