While I get why a lot of people like YB or BluEL group or Fire for what they do as single genes, I tend to find that once they become pervasive in your collection they are more of a hindrance. As an example, next season I have two animals that I could pair together that would offer me 324 possible outcomes one of which would be a quad superform... But two of those possible superforms are BluEL and Ivory. And in just about every case, if I make a BluEL or an Ivory I will most likely have zero idea what other genes it may be carrying so I either have to keep all of them back to prove them out or move them out as only the base superform, potentially giving out a powerhouse animal. Neither of those options appeal to me, rendering what some might call a fantastic pairing opportunity utterly worthless.

See for me this is an example where while breeding, more genes doesnt always equal better. When I'm breeding for BELs I dont want to mess with more than a few genes and have to second guess if something is say a super phantom vs passion. I also plan most of my pairings with the intent to hopefully hit a certain combo for a hold back so I dont want a 1% chance of getting one and then over 100 other combos I dont really like. Take this year in particular, I have a waiting list for a few morphs that arent easily available so Im planning my pairings to have pretty good odds at hitting what I want for myself along with gauranteed sales of a few others before theyre even laid. It just depends on your goals. I dont try to collect every morph out there and prefer to just focus on my favorites and have customers with similar appreciation to them.
