Which Cards are not worth upgrading? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=9141.msg107724#msg107724

I saw the thread on which cards to upgrade, and it got me thinking in reverse... as one who was pleasantly suprised to win a relic, and not knowing what to do with it, I upgraded it of course.  Doh.

1.  Relic - pointless upgraded
2.  Sundial -  a moot point, but it is used unupgraded the vast majority of the time.

What next?  Giant frogs/Jade staffs are often unupgraded for the adreneline rush.  For nymphs I note it is advised to keep unupgraded for tournies.  I understand there are benefits to keeping certain dragons unupgraded?  Any others...

boneyard is most of the time better non-upgraded.

I never understood this, I usually run a Graveyard rather than a boneyard in my FG rainbow.  What advantages are there to using boneyard?

In rainbow decks, especially oens that use a couple bone walls, it saves on  :death quanta, so it can be played faster.

Frankly, SD's are way better upped. They were only used unupped in old timebows. Not anymore.

Stone Skin: +1 Healing , only if you play a second one, 1 quantum saved per upgrade.

Luciferin: 1 random quantum per upgrade is definitely the worst upgrade of all.

Although if they're upped you can actually play them in most decks. This helps.
