So I decided earlier I was going to cap spending at $50 and try to run top 150, even if I have to sneak in. I didn't have much in cube reserve after last event, but I didn't last event, either, and I knew I'd have money for some cubes... But, I figured winning top tier last event and going three tiers deep on the episode space bridge would at least get me 1-cubing day 1. I do the tiers and get 2 alt Kups. :/ I see the x5 deal is up and running so I do that as well. I MTM both and add them in, deck power ~15k. I should cruise day 1.

Then, I snipe a Scourge 7 Cashbuster sent me. 7!!! I knew Cash was going in on this one, so when he can't one-cube something on day 1, I know there is trouble afoot.

Despite getting to UM's weapon via points, I failed to be able to one-cube Scourge 6 and came 5mil short on one Scourge 5. I'm stalled out at ~+100 cubes over my starting position (which wasn't good; I was expecting to be double that at this time).

I don't know what Mobage has up their sleeves for this event, but it better be good, or I may just be rolling back on expending any serious money in this game. They are trying to balance the game while still allowing people to pump unlimited money per event, and that's just not possible. They are flailing around, throwing anything and everything at the problem and are only creating more, not less, imbalance in the game.

With the exception of last event, I've been a moderately heavy spender every event. Unless this event improves, as I said before, I don't know how much I can throw at this game until they straighten it out. Even though I want to cruise, I went three tiers deep and pulled Kup A+R, and Magnus A. I decided I would stop there, and work towards the second Kup via points, and make getting Magnus R-mode my holy grail via medals - something to hope for. But shortly I decided Magnus was one of the best looking cards I have ever seen in this game, just a wonderful fiery red white and blue. If I didn't pull him from medals, I would want to buy him just to have him, so I got his MTM via a pack as it's better to have him work for me now.

So with $40 spent I can only 1 shot up to Scourge 5, but at the same time tier 2 is pretty much guaranteed. The tier 2 Cyclonus card looks nice, but seriously Cyclonus and Scourge so close after Cold Delivery. Talk about dull, Daniel.

I want to farm some outrageous number of cubes over the next month, like 1000 and see what happens when a rewards card really takes my fancy.

I think like you God, $50 is going to be my reasonable limit. I can't afford to pump in what I have when I've gone top 100. Actually I can afford it, it just makes me feel bad when I do.

Masterpiece Prowl is due for release in a few months, I want two of those, and Acid Storm is a Toysrus special due soon. I could get all those for less than I've spent on this game.
