I have tried previous rounds with simple dragons but didn't think to do it this time. Lost my level 7 Cleopatra to the Ninja, but the level 9 Marshmallow got him.
I'd appreciate your info about which simple dragons you're using in the next rounds. I'm getting this dragon one way or another. I don't have a Champion yet and want my first one. I bought some gold once the latest sale started and am prepared to pay my way through some rounds if need be. If I don't have to do this (and so far I haven't), I'm buying a third nest with that gold.
