For that reason I have 1 upped and 2 unupped Hope´s in my deck. The chance to lose because of this 1 light quanta isnt as big as with 3 Hope´s upped, but if you draw the upped Hope later in the game it wont be totally useless.

Some dragons are, in my opinion, worse upgraded.

Take Denovian Dragon to Silurian Dragon, 10/5 for 10 and 13/4 for 12. Not worth it.
I don't think crimson dragon to ruby is worth it either.

i know about the crimsons by expirience used to use ruby drags now use crimson that extra 2 is a big difference when ur using most of the costly fire deck unuped

you can power crimsons dragon easily at first turn with 1 creamation+1 fire tower, but not ruby dragon
the 1 turn faster make much more different than that 2 damage

I like the ruby dragon better.  I always play destroyers and minor phoenix first and I prefer that 15 attack in late game situations.

I probably have the dissenting opinion on life's dragon too.   I like the 9 hp of Jade Dragon in some of my life decks, but its seems like almost everyone else uses Emerald Dragons.

Several of the dragons seem to be judgement calls on who like which version better.

The difference is 3 in attack and 2 in quanta.

Also, holy flash and lucifrase. I'm afraid they will collide with auto-mulligan.
Luciferase has its use as I said - it brings light quanta splash to any deck containing creatures without an ability.
Luciferin can bring that same light splash to any deck containing creatures as it uses 1 random quanta, not 1 light quanta. So any deck can use it, not just light. To me chance of getting it first turn instead of a tower and not getting an auto mulligan bc its free greatly outweighs the 1 random quanta cost of the unupgraded version. Its nearly useless early in the game anyways, and later you will have at least 1 random quanta available to play it :P.

I use Luci in my RoL/Hope Deck and its pretty useful upped. After Fractal I dont have any  :aether left. Sometimes your light quanta is divisible by 13(Dragons). That means after playing all Dragons you can still use Luci. Too you can use it without using  :aether or  :light quanta you maybe need in your next turn.

relic is clearly better off un-upped.

Thinking about it, besides relics, the absolute last card i would upgrade would be skeleton -> elite skeleton.  Even gnome gemfinders and dragonfly's can find use in certain decks (fractal).
