I have a few sacrifice fire dragons. In total, 5 - so when a square calls for evolving more than one dragon, I can. I also can use it to evolve a dragon to juvenile, adult, epic, no matter what I took of the temple. I do have 2 evolution temples, so that helps. I also try to make sure my evolution temples are finished hours apart, whenever possible. I sell the dragons and buy new level ones whenever I can. I also found that it seems any dragon raised to level 7 will satisfy the "raise a fire dragon to level 7" square. Don't tell Storm8!
I have also found clearing boards is better than waiting for a two or three line, so as soon as I can get 4 across, I do. It's rare I wait to see if I can get two lines.
I don't spend time leaving a square and trying for things - so those 'breed such and such dragon egg' I almost always clear, unless I happened to breed something and it is going to hatch soon.
I always clear anything with scalypears, pumpwings, and fire apples because I don't plant them. I only keep anything with diamondates, rushrooms, or eliteleeks if I'm going to plant/harvest them.
I never try anything that's more than 2 battles. VERY rarely, I will do the "win 4 battles" unless nothing else on the board can get done in the next 3 hours.
I am usually in 2nd or 3rd section, but sometimes I get into the 1st prize section, especially if I have the breeding roost activated.
I'm trying to think of anything else that I started doing to help me out - I also struggled when I first got to the Gold League but now I stay there pretty comfortably.
