@ Tap - even if he's lying, it's not costing me anything so I don't mind. So I'll throw in my advice:

Yes, if you have lots of time, one-cube like hell right now while the bosses are all still easily killable for your deck. Establish the early-game lead.

Later in the event, pay attention to cube-to-points efficiency so you can stay on top (say top 50), in a cube-efficient manner. Having 1000 cubes is great but don't waste them if you don't need to. I usually set myself a target (say, 1 cube per 30k) and try to achieve that target each day via a mix of sniping (free points without costing cubes) and seeding.

In the last ~12 hours, though, forget about cube efficiency and just do whatever it takes to stay on top, obviously.

You look like you're in a good spot to T1 this. I am a constant T2 player like you. Last raid event, I accomplished by first-ever T1 finish, and I burned up 1300 cubes in the process (I started the event with >1100 and earned about 400+ more during the course of the event). I ended with 41m points. Dividing 41m by 1300 cubes, you can see I achieved a points-to-cubes ratio of ~30k to one cube spent.

If this event is crazier (it is) and needs, say 60m in order to T1, if you are able to match my efficiency of 30k per cube, you'd need 2000 cubes, which you can buy or farm. Alternatively you can just try to be more cube-efficient than I was, and/or you can gun to earn less than 60m points. I have no idea whether 60m is too high or too low for a T1 finish this time around so your guess is as good as mine.
