Spending money definitely helps you get a high end deck faster. Luckily, raid cards are often pretty good, and you can get them cheap. With a few MTMed raid cards (even ones from past events), you should be able to land some episode rewards, which then strengthen your deck even further. This makes it easier to rank high next time, and it starts to become a vicious circle.
