Okay I'm so sick of fighting Rezael and Varga players. Any tips?

I just got Gold rank in DD2 earlier today using Bavs and Lianorn all the way. About 70% of my matches are either rezael or varga and I'm so sick of it. Against rezael, i tried pacing the early game by only matching the damage and not pushing to 4 damage on the enemy before the g3 turn. Against varga, i tried preventing early damage to not get into divine skill territory. I have a feeling im doing it wrong. Should i just not care and keep on pushing anyway if im going first? Any tips?

P.S. i really hate that these two decks always have more than 9 cards on hand at any given time and dont even deck out. Its outrageous
