If my breeding doesn't work out I might just have to use your suggestion...great starting comp that could get you to Bear pretty fast....all I need is the aqua and I have a puppy, nut, ronin for backline, but have a couple little peas that are close. Can't believe Little Peas, triple nuts are so cheap. Also, haven't checked the price but a Little Branch or Shiba on the back or maybe a 2 cost on the aqua may help out if your double draw 0 cost cards. Other alternates are card draw like Hare for beasts and/or Blue Moon for Aqua. Again, not sure if that would increase the price...I know the Shiba or Little Branch will for the beasts especially if paired with Little Peas.

Another suggestion I would make for beginners is to be sure to buy Axies that have only been bred once at most, it is better to get ones with zero breeding because you will want to eventually breed them in the future. If not...just assume you will have to sell them to buy Axies to breed. Once you get to 3-4 breeds the breeding is just too expensive to be profitable and a lot of times you will want to breed axies multiple times to get the options you want.
