Theory? Just about everything we know about breeding in DragonVale is just theory, the only "combo" Backflip has ever given us the details of is that water + fire = air (on the description of the Air dragon). The "uncommon rule" comes from the same group of dedicated testers who help find out the combos for all the Gemstone and other limited dragons (plus new epics etc.). You can test it if you like but from personal experience I trust it to be true (breeding Forge + Metal/Fire trying for Gold and getting nothing but Brass 80 or so times in a row until I finally got a Gold dragon).
