I haven't spent much money at all in the game so the only R4 cards that I have were won through the event. Not the most powerful of R4's but they do help with getting even more powerful cards. You don't have a bad deck at all. Within an event or two you'll have full deck of R4's. Maybe soon you'll break into the 2nd tier reward cards and increase your deck even greater. I've spent very little money, under $10, and my deck strength is around 11k so with time and some progression, your deck will increase.

I'd also upgrade all the R4 weapons that you have. I also have won cards through the event but not their weapons. An R4 weapon with any character, matching or not, will be beneficial. It took a while for me to start winning both cards and their weapons but you'll eventually get there.
