I think the biggest key for non-paying players is to be patient. I started during the Unleash the Beasts event and slowly built up my deck by just using the reward cards... Since Cold Delivery, I've consistently managed to place with the 2nd best card set. I spent $40 on raid cards through my first 2 events to get me a decent start. That's a lot of money to me so I'd reached the point where I was going to stop paying or stop playing.

I'll probably never place in the top 100 without buying, but beating hundreds of others who've spent cash makes it enjoyable for me.
