Bladewing is giving my dragons a beating too! I've been trying since yesterday on this one. I've lost Angel, Astromancer, Guardian Angel, Spirit Warrior, Rainbow Sentinel, Fire, Lightning, Landworm (3x) - all epics, several baby Love and Winter breeding fails - I'm sure there are a few others I didn't write down. I've got the gold to Ultimate, but for some reason, I keep thinking that for sure it will be the next one (except it hasn't) - I do find comfort in the fact that I'm not the only one.
I'm thinking my next choice will be Eeny Meany Miney Moe, Catch a dragon by the toe......
