Sundial Suggestion https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=3887.msg37423#msg37423

Since sundials were nerfed, no one really uses them anymore (not as much anyway). They aren't completely useless, but they aren't completely useful either. This led me to ponder a way to keep them nerfed the way they are, but add a different effect as well.

Basically, we make sundial last for two turns. If you use hasten, it only lasts for one. Kinda complicated because you would have to code it so people can't activate the ability on the second (last) turn. I'm not counting the turn you play it as a turn, but if you want to count it then just add +1 to your understanding of the suggestion; it's still the same thing.

Anyway, it's basically changing the card, but not changing it. Either you can draw faster with one turn of no attacks, or you can draw regularly with two turns of no attacks. I don't think either way provides more of an advantage over the other; however, it could change the outcome of the game (if you don't hasten, more quanta is distributed before attacks are allowed...).

Discuss.

I like this idea.

The impending result would be somewhere between the original and how it is now.

[...] no one really uses them anymore [...]
I just feel I need to disagree with this since I see them a lot in top50. So they are still usefull enough that many people put them in their rainbows. Should we empower cards people rarely use? Then there are some that would need it much more than Sundial. I've heard Thunderstorm is never used (and I've never seen it used in a top50 deck) ... there are probably more.
