I may be thinking about this the wrong way, but I don't see how the megnetic/iron breeding strategy makes more cash than the air strategy. I'm going to show my logic using only one breeding set.

Assume you start your day with no dragons breeding or incubating. Fire + Water = Air egg after 2 hours Two more hours to incubate, while the Fire + Water are breeding again = 4 hours total = 500,000 cash Two more hours to incubate, while the Fire + Water are breeding again = 6 hours total = 1,00,000 total cash Two more hours to incubate, while the Fire + Water are breeding again = 8 hours total = 1,500,000 cash (plus there's another 500,000 waiting in the wings when you get to hour 10)

With the metal dragon strategy, you get your 1,500,000 after 8 hours total, but you don't have the additional 500,000 after another 2 hours.

I haven't thought this through for a full 24 hours to see how it works out if you assume metal vs air breeding over night. I suppose the difference is that if you let the strategy run its course over multiple days the metal strategy will work out better.
