While primarily a strategic challenge, Faeria's competitive multiplayer nature carries a moderate risk of competitive toxicity and social comparison. The presence of microtransactions for new cards also introduces a potential for 'pay-to-win' dynamics, which could pressure players to spend money to remain competitive.
