General Ideas for this:

️Imitate the anime effects of the cards as best as possible.

️Expand and/or alter them as needed to help them compete with the modern game. Add new effects as needed as well.

️Base the Normal Spells off of the “Morganite” cards to better expand the Seal’s power and have them be permanent in the duel (like the field spell was in the Anime, with the additional benefit of allowing you to use other field spells after the fact.

️Provide some support/interplay with existing “Orichalcos” cards that are already in-game (most of the cards revolve around the Seal itself, Tritos is “Divine Serpent Geh” support, and Kyutora can fish out “"Orichalcos Shunoros" like in the anime.)

…If all this sounds overly powerful, keep in mind that you’d be needing to lock yourself out of the extra deck from the moment you use the Seal and it’s Morganite-style “layers”, which is a BIG ask in this day and age.
