The upped costs 2, and 3 is still more expensive than 2 last time I checked 
And yet nobody uses the upped guard either ............. because it sucks!!
If the unupped one gets a buff, the upped one certainly deserves one too.
HEY AWESOME IDEA! Make the upped version cost only 3 random quanta! Its mercenary, they fight for the highest bidder anyway!
Sounds like I would just be mad about him taking away my precious mark-quanta.
A predictable quantum-usage is much better in the very most cases.
So that would be a nerf, in fact.
