First, go see this guide by Kaya:  
[Troops leveling & Sacrifice 1.0.8](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/troops-leveling-sacrifice-1-0-8/2015)

If you want more info on the traits and the troops, you should go see the Wiki:  
[Gems of War Wikia | Fandom](http://gems-of-war.wikia.com/wiki/Gems_of_War_Wikia)

Then, as @Shimrra said, it depends if you want to traits or troops.

One way or another, you will be short of cards and traits… I had 3500+ iron keys and 500+ gold ones and 3000 gems, and I’m still far away from maxing all my troops, months after the update.
