Thanks for noticing my somewhat feeble attempts at decorating. At least it's a start. I still ran out of room, however.

That Diamond combo looks interesting. HCh has a Diamond breeding tab that is supposed to list all the possibilities and the weighted average time should show the best bets. It appears to be broken however, because it doesn't match with the breeding calculator. Not sure why. I thought it worked earlier, but I knew less then so maybe I was wrong. One thing to consider is that if you take a combined type, e.g. mythic (= red/yellow) and then breed it with a tricolor that has those same two colors, e.g. scarecrow = red/yellow/green you will reduce the number of possible dragons. Red/green is always good cause Life is a short fail. If you separately average the times of all Commons, all Rares, and all S. Rares, in a combo, multiply them by 0.75 (Commons), 0.18 (R), and 0.06 (SR) and add the result you will get a good estimate of the true average fail times. This of course ignores whether you need the dragons, which iis also important.

Good luck. xoxo
