These first two are things I've asked for and made cases for myself, Cor
So far no luck though, but it's nice to see I'm not the only person who thinks these would be good ideas.
The third is also a good idea, although I'm just as in favor of sites that allow you to summon creatures and pay for them with gems, instead of just tying up a single mage and getting a Draconian every single turn.
