Since the both of you are near or at gold,not so bad leveling up cards. My main focus is the modern league with the budget i have. Not easy deciding amongst summoners, I've tried sticking with one splinter at a time getting it to silver/gold. For me it's better to focus on one at a time, unless silver is the main focus, then spreading thin makes more sense with a lower budget.
