Help! Final Fantasy 8

[SunTzu]

Ok sup everyone, i need some help from FF8 experts.
The card game is awesome, and well i've won tons of cards including GF cards that i missed in the game, is there anyway to refine the cards into what i want? Like lets say i need a dragon skin and i got the card of the monster that gives d.skins. can i refine it?
Also are there any real life card games in the world that are like the card game in ff8?

Well, it must be close to the Armageddon. Lord, you know that I won’t fly by that lesson you taught me, to pull out my Wesson you brought me, and i’m not stressin’ it softly. Get ‘em up off me, ‘cause all we wanted harmony, been bombin’ ‘em. Yell up outta my ghetto, “I won’t settle,” get on my level.</FONT c></FONT f>

you should be able to get dragon skin from a card or steal it from a monster lots of items needed for weapons are stolen from monster. i gotten all gfs in that game and all the top weapons i steal from all monsters. i ususally fight diablos early like at level 7.
