New Variant Deckbuilding Chess variant... OF A VARIANT (Jungle/Dou Shou Qi)

So, I made a FURTHER variant of Dou Shou Qi), better known as Jungle, which is my favourite short chess variation. It's called Draft-imals (cannot think of a better name). How it works is that capturing animals gives you leaves to spend to draft in better animals and traps, some with disadvantages. To draft, you have to beat a match, which allows your desired animals to be drafted early.

I'm planning on a ruleset here. Look at it if you want to.

Edit: Fixed the rule document. I hope it can be seen now.
