I haven't finished in the top 150, but based on my observations from this forum and the chat room, I think there are very few (but some) who have finished there for less than $50 in the event. The ones that I would guess have done it needed the stars to align in the following way:

(1) some extremely lucky pulls on the space bridge to get x10's without going through too many tiers;

(2) a large stock of battle cubes from farming prior events (likely a minimum of 400-500);

(3) a deck full of second tier (first tier would be even better) rewards from prior events; and

(4) the ability to put in a lot of time for the duration of the event.

I don't know if anyone can reliably get the top tier for less than $50. I've just figured I would keep accumulating battle cubes and second tier rewards and then maybe eventually I would get very lucky on the space bridge, early in an event, and that would dictate whether I would make an attempt at the first tier.
