- Giving bonuses (eg bonus faeria) for fast play.
I think many people would feel the same as if you did this in Chess - basically, time is meant to be 100% mechanically separated from gameplay. Although I did have an idea a while ago where you could manually spend 1f to get 30 more seconds - but that was probably not good IMHO except perhaps for low-level play - certainly not for tournaments.
- Playing against your own deck.
I like this idea. Unfortunately, the AI is somewhat variable in how well it plays different cards - and I doubt it has any idea of how to evaluate the best strategy for its deck (that would be a monstrously difficult task to do well).

Welcome back. Iām just guessing this is giving bonus stuff for coming back after a while. Sounds like a good idea from a business point of view, and I donāt imagine anyone else minding.

Loaded Cards.
This would be a majorly complex feature that doesnāt seem to be adding much IMHO. Because of that, I donāt think I like it, sorry. As for the loading once - thatās turning your collection into a complex gameplay component. Iām afraid I really donāt like that, as that amplifies any money-gained advantage.
- Front Page
I think this would be tricky for Faeria devs to add - theyād either need to add a web interface (which is no small task) or a spend a lot of time on getting it all done with Unity assets. Iām also not sure how many people would prefer that. I think I like it how it is. Better to just add everything to the web and use the in-game link(s) IMHO.
- Discarding Cards
I feel like managing your hand size is part of the strategy. There are offensive strategies (eg Storyteller) to try to force you to mill cards (if I remember the term correctly). Many cards would also be buffed (perhaps into OP-ness) if you could discard, such as Ogre Dance, Blood Song, Bold Bargainer, Auroraās Dream.
BoBBiN - I totally agree, the possibilities for custom games are huge and I hope they do add stuff. So many variables could be customizable. Different boards could be used, etc.

- Completion% seems like a very easy and useful addition.
- I agree you should be able to see base stats somehow.
- Mythic cards do have a glimmer effect that plays sometimes - I canāt remember if itās only when you first see it, though. But a constant effect could work I guess if it were, as you say, subtle. (Personally Iād also like some detailing on the bare part of the topmost border as it looks ugly on some colors).
