Yep Ultramus, fortunately for you (and unfortunately for T2ers stuck on the hellish "T2 plateau"), it's not too hard to get up a good deck in a couple months' consistent effort. By the end of this month, you should be able to have 1 Sky Lynx and 2 Elita Ones, for 3 R5s in your deck already.

You should be able to snipe/tag into T2 with good allies during raids, during which you should farm ecs and bcs where possible. In campaigns, it's possible to T2 if you're willing to burn a couple hundreds bcs and a couple of chains (I managed to T2 the last campaign burning only 1 chain and 300 ecs). The T2 campaign rewards outgun most of the T2 rewards, according to my analysis. And of course if you can, capture 1-2 of the Hard level bosses during a Campaign.

After a couple months of this, you should have a solid T2/Evo3 deck, plus the 3 R5s i mentioned earlier.

That's when you hit the dreaded T2 plateau. To improve your deck at that point, you pretty much need to gun for T1 or be content to stay at that power level forever. Read elsewhere on how to T1, i don't want to go into that here.

It does take a TON of time to T1 though, so even a good deck is worthless if you don't put in a lot of time to rack up the points. I think when I T1ed the raid Eagle Eyes, I must've sunk about 80 hours over 6 days, which affected my work, which is never a good thing.
