My number one feature request is "spectator mode".
This is probably the only thing that I feel is really lacking from what you guys showed us. Everything else about social features is really awesome. Oh and please, never ever add an in-game chat with your oponnent (unless he's in your friend's list of course). People can already be annoying with the emotes only, imagine with an open chat with your oponnent. Maaaaybe there could be such a thing if there was an option to allow it or not, so to be able to chat directly to your oponnent, both players should have that option enabled. Something like a checkbox in the match window that is by default unchecked, and when your oponnent check it, a small message is shown on the oponnent's side saying something like: <username> wants to chat with you. That just sounds like a more flexible and faster alternative then to add the player to your friend's list to chat.
Regarding the stats numbers, I'd love to see those stats per deck. And on the match history tab, a summary row at the end and some nice filtering options, including for example: Outcome (win, loss, draw), Coin flip (won or not), Decks, Factions, etc.
