Coming as a player who took a long break, I've noticed there are more secret abilities to cards than ever. While I understand keeping these abilities secret for the sake of lore or whatever, I feel that once we have used the effect, it should appear on the card. This not only allows us to search for these cards using the filters in deck building, but also avoids us having to come to the discord/reddit for reminders of these secret abilities.
It also could be a reward with a cool animation on the card (showing the text slowly appear on the card once you've unlocked it). Thoughts? Opinions?

The animation idea would be pretty fun. I think it would make discovering abilities on your own feel especially rewarding

If a card has many hidden abilities then we might need an entire section for that (much like tags) but I agree it's better if they are shown after discovery and I'd argue they need to be discovered and shown even if you simply came across an opponent using the secret ability. If this was a physical card game then such custom rules would be uncovered as you played with people at tables, and would stay cannon due to people not dropping the custom rules.
