That's not a bad starter deck. We all began with a deck full of R3's and some R2's. I always buy the first tier space bridge for a dollar. Even one form will increase your deck and help you gain a higher ranking. Even in the beginning I didn't spend much. Try to accumulate enough points to get the lowest level reward cards for the event. Over time they accumulate and of course your deck will get stronger, thus giving you better cards. Also the point rewards give you an R4 full set once you reach 2 million points. That might seem out of reach now but you'll eventually get there.

You really don't want to put more than one cube into a boss. Just ask for help and put your other cubes into more bosses. The points will add up quicker that way. No need to keep R1 and R2 cards around. Just use them to upgrade your R3 and R4 cards. Just make sure you don't trans-scan your higher level cards without maxing them first. I made the mistake early on and some of my R4's suffered because of that.

In conclusion, you don't have to spend much money to have a average to above average deck. Of course putting money into it helps and it gets you there faster. It just takes patience the free to low spending way. Just keep going and you'll progress soon enough.
