Thought I was doing quite well up to halfway as I finished the day in the top 100 (after spending a lot of time on it). It's all gone a bit pearshaped since as I just can't keep up. My deck power is currently 51.5k and I've managed to get 2 of each Breakdown cards but for the level 8 & 9 cards I have to 4 cube and I don't have enough BC to recover the 15 million gap I've lost by sleeping. I think I'll consolidate and try to stick in the top 1000.

I think my strategy of playing as much as I can in the first day to farm EC & BC was correct, just my deck at the start of the event wasn't strong enough. Anyone got any other tips?

Sounds like you won't make T1 this time around. I'd suggest for next time paying money for the spacebridge to aquire raid cards as 2 mtm x 10's won't cut it this late in the event for T1. There is no denying this game is pay to win and the players that do seem to pull it off for free are experienced on what it takes to do it. . Another is having a  great ally list for helping you take down your bosses. Come into chat and make new friends with alot of us regulars and trim your ally list to people you know.

Btw hope your not planning a ton of sleep when T1ing as the more you sleep the more positions you fall. Keep it minimal.
