Pure Dragons (Night, Virtue etc.) have a special set of breeding rules. Diamond has special breeding rules of its own also. Breeding Diamond + Deep and Diamond + Night are two different things. Night is a pure type so when bred with Diamond it has different rules than using a hybrid dragon (Deep).

For Diamond:


 * When a breeding pair contains a total of two types - Diamond and a minor type (Pink, Black, Mythic, Cosmic, Fairytale, Stone, Dino, Rainbow, Gemstone, Zodiac, Tropic, Royal, Champion, and Metal) - you can get the following:


 * A pure dragon of that type (ex: Night Dragon for the Night type)


 * A pure dragon of its component types (ex: Magic and Water for the Black type, which is made up of Purple and Blue)


 * Any currently available hybrid that can be bred using those two parents, with or without the minor type splitting (ex: Purple/Blue hybrid, Diamond/Purple hybrid, Diamond/Blue hybrid, Diamond/Black hybrid)


 * When a breeding pair contains Diamond and at least two other different types (3 types total), Diamond is then treated as its own type under normal rules and any possible hybrid offspring using that pair of parents can emerge.

So, in short Diamond+Deep (Pure Diamond+Hybrid=3 types) has less results because you can not get a pure dragon outcome from that pair. Diamond+Night (Pure Diamond+Pure Type= 2 types) can produce more results because you can not only get hybrid outcomes but pure outcomes also.

You can find these rules for the Diamond type on the Diamond Dragon page. You can also see more information on other types on the Dragon Types page.
