Right there with you! I love playing the game, but for me also Bronze/Silver seems to be the cap, because I'm not willing to rent like crazy to power up higher just to be beaten by better decks (and strategies) than mine. So, I'm trying to chillax more as well. Might look into getting a GF or two myself. We'll see.
