Elite sundial is worse than regular sundial

[olshanski]

It appears that a regular sundial gives you a free draw at a cost of 1 light.
The upgraded sundial gives you a free draw at a cost of 2 light.

That seems backward to me.

The advantage of the upgraded Sundial is, that it requires no Time quanta, so it can be used in every mono- or duo deck. You have to pay for that advantage with 1 light quantum.

In rainbow- decks, many people use the unupgraded version.

This is no bug.

Maybe olshanski is suggesting that the upgraded version should remain 1 light quantum to draw.  It's not much of an upgrade if most people are sticking to the unupped version.

Other possibilities:
~1 random quantum to cast, still 2 light to draw (not very helpful)
~2 random quanta to cast, 1 random quanta to draw (weird)
~1 time quantum to cast, 2 random quanta to draw (i like this the most, but then you wouldn't be able to put it in ANY mono or duo)

The reason upgraded Sundial requires two to activate is because if it was only one , practically any deck could play it and activate it. By requiring two , it is more difficult to activate. With the unupped version, the dual quantum requirement is sufficient to restrict its playability.
