The Supvernova comes in hand if it's in the first 10 cards and later sometimes also of good use if your lack quanta because of your randomtowers. The Animate has some kind of dual use for me, 'cause you can also animate your Eternity and make it then invulnerable to avoid nasty creatures during a first rush, or to minimize the draw rate of the gods. Also you mustn't discard your pulverizer, if your going out of cards.
Btw, you make use of your light quanta by the upgraded Sundials (not to mention the mutate abilities).
