If you don't have a good base deck you are going to have to pay for the raids just like he did in this event, then you will need to pay for the bcs. U aren't going to be able to get away from it, but the most expensive T1... Is the first one not any more you dont. you're basically going to put money into a boss event to get the 10x card. if you get one of those you will easily get enough rubies to field 8 5x raid cards. i did that last event and still had an extra 4000 rubies left over. You can get all the rubies you want but if you don't have resources you wont accomplish nothing.

but we're talking about getting t1 so obviously you would have some resources saved up before attempting to get the x10 raid card. i'm talking strictly once you decide to go for t1. you dont actually need that good a deck cuz if you get the x10 raid card which is what you're aiming for when you make the decision to go for t1, the rest just falls in placed. within a day or two you will have 8 more x5 mtm raids.

the only thing you really need is battle cubes, energon you can farm 400-500 of on the first day which is at least 125 more than what you actually need to make t1. sorry for the much delayed response Danktrees, the money to put in to a boss event for a 10X mtm has been quite often documented to be at around 200 to 250 dollars minimum (excluding the need for resources); that in my mind is what i would consider to be a high cost T1. On average now, the LOT of us who have full R5 decks are able to achieve T1 with a cost of 110 dollars (inclusive of some resources).

if you don't have R5s in your deck, you are going to need to spend the money for raid cards which will most certainly increase your buy in. if you go for 10X then i've told you the minimum cost above. hence my remark that your first T1 will be the most expensive guaranteed.

once you start to get some R5s however, your cost goes down, because you don't need as much to build an acceptable raid deck to T1; and your costs shift primarily to resources.

in any case, if I am missing something in the consideration for your costs to get 10X, or you have been just extremely lucky in getting 10Xs, I am happy to hear your thoughts as a comparison.
