I'm in the same boat as you. I used to love playing the game, then came the bot flood and I hated playing. So I became a bot on there and am renting a lot of my cards as well and staking SPS.

Still playing brawls for the guild and I'm hearing good things about gameplay in modern now post-bots. People are actually liking to play the game and - who knows - maybe I'll give it another go playing it again myself.
