Why it might work

  • A shared threadWoody and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Abraxas in spring and summer and Carbon Sapphire in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Abraxas is long lasting and enormous, Carbon Sapphire eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
