This is less a suggestion of the bases included and more a suggestion for the TYPE of base. If you don't support, let me know why! I'd love your help to improve this suggestion.

I think that most combo base fans can agree that Cloudburst and Nadir were done wrong to. There is no reason that they shouldn't be at least rare. Why are they common?

But they got me thinking... what kinds of combo bases should be common?

Introducing...

Fail Combo Bases

A "fail" combo base would refer to a base (common or uncommon, but I would prefer uncommon to increase the number of uncommon bases) that is a "fail." It can be achieved through several different (but similar) combos. It would replace *some* occurrences of the common/uncommon "fail" bases that show up now.

Similar Combo Examples

Elysian, Nadir, and Soul
Black Rose and Ember
Qahir, Hellebore, and Cairngorm
Arabica, Asiatic, Madagascar, and Olive
Temporal, Gilded, and Rose Gold
Snowflake, Cloudburst, Qahir
Cloudburst, Nadir, and Elysian
Elysian and Rose Gold

Examples

*Warning: These are extremely rough examples. I am not, nor have I ever claimed to be, an artist*

Black Rose and Ember Fail Bases


Qahir, Hellebore, and Cairngorm Fail Bases


Elysian, Nadir, and Cloudburst Fail Base Examples


The main reason for this idea is that there is no reason that a difficult-to-achieve and absolutey stunning combo base is "Common." This would provide new combo bases that are actually common/uncommon without infringing on the specialness of "goal" combo bases.

Example Breedings

To breed for "Tinder", all possible breedings are:
Black Rose OR Cinnabar x Black Rose OR Obsidian OR Jet OR Onyx
Ember OR Blazing OR Fiery x Ember OR Flint OR Pewter

To breed for "Struggle", all possible breedings are:
Qahir OR Buff OR Cameo OR Hallowed OR Russet x Qahir OR Chartreux OR Glacial OR Hematite OR Opal
Hellebore OR Lilac x Hellebore OR Udara OR Goldenrod
Cairngorm OR Celestial OR Ice OR Sidereal OR Skyward x Cairngorm OR Cocoa OR Ethereal OR Pearl OR Slate

Implementation

Obviously, this would be a big project. New bases would be introduced over a long period of time.

This would NOT influence the rate of achieving the "goal" combo base. It would just replace a few of the possible common/uncommon bases that pop up (e.g. in Black Rose Breeding it would replace some (not all) of the occurrences of Henna, Chocolate, Redwood, Chestnut, Titanium, Obsidian, Rust, Onyx, and Jet).

Fail combo bases and new "goal" combo bases are NOT mutually exclusive. I just think it is a good way to add in common/uncommon combo bases without denigrating the specialness of achieving a "goal" combo base.

TLDR;

These are bases that replace some current "fail" bases (like Chestnut, Redwood, Henna, Cream Lighter, etc). These can only be achieved via factor breedings, but would be common so would be based on factors for 2-5 combo bases.
