I've bought the X5 pack a few times before rubies and once after I think. It made life easier to T2 when my dp was in the 12-14K range and I was guaranteed a complete X5 w/sig. It was better than going $20 in SB and some in the weapons SB with no guarantee of mtm/sig. After rubies I'd spend $1-$5 on the SB for a long shot lucky pull and $4 for 2 weapon pulls.

I didn't have to spend this money to make T2 but: I can afford it, it was more enjoyable game experience to mtm/sig at least the X3 & X5 raider, it made T2 finishes easier/ less stressful to attain, I was able to  help allies more with larger hits on whales, seeding to lower/like lvl allies and getting myself to T2 w/o the big boys and then stayed there with their big seeds instead of just tagging whales, and lastly to improve my deck.
