A deck full of T2's and a raid card or 2 and you can T2 with time and good allies. Actually my first event (DotD2), i was able to T2 without spending a nickel. Don't know how i did it but I didn't even have a full deck of MTM'ed R3's. When that event ended, every single Dinobot I acquired had made my deck!

If you want T1, it won't matter if you have a full deck of R5s or a full deck of R4's. You will need good raid cards MTM'ed, and a ton of cubes. Wardeal was testing this before he quit. Full deck of R5's and he couldn't get past day 1 without resorting to sniping and playing like a T2 player. If no one purchased raid cards, then they wouldn't be required. But if one player purchases raid cards then they have an obvious advantage. The app has to produce a profit or else the game will shut down. You don't have to fill your deck with raid cards to tier 1.
