[Ranked Play] Beatmap Card Packs with a Main Deck setup (and possibly gacha too?)

[pigeonskew]

Heavily inspired by the osu!gacha trend started by @miztomizto on twitter.

Basically, since Ranked play seems to flow like a card game, why not just full-blown make it as one, with card packs, rules and everything?

Afaik, ranked play's current card game-like implementation is only extending what was initially promised from the first implementation of ranked play (with improvements) but it doesn't seem to change things too much from that.

What I have in mind is something like this, which can go either way:

1. Players can set their main "fighting deck" for any pair they might get matched at (should be ranked maps only, and within a star range to keep things fair)
2. Players can pick multiple beatmap "card packs" based on tags/artists/etc. that the system can only pick from (also should still be within their SR/ELO)

Also, instead of players having to freely choose a mod, there can be "mod" cards in which players can pick from the "Mods" deck. The game might allow players to force the other player to play their map with the mod they picked, etc. or it can be a buff for the player that picked it. The mod cards can also allow players to gain 2 round points (=2 wins) if they win with the card. Having UNO-inspired cards (reverse card, etc.) might work too.

I believe this can add some fun twist to playing against other players and also creates a new game overall within osu!

Lastly, gacha. I don't have any good ideas for it since you can just search any random map you like or chat with Tillerino for a random recommended map but feel free to put suggestions if you have any!

After official release of Ranked play, I want my ideas to be considered now lol
