2026 New Touring Odyssey or 2023 Used PHEV Pinnacle Pacifica FWD?

I was able to talk the dealer down to 49k out the door price for the 2026 Odyssey. There was a 2023 certified preowned PHEV Pinnacle Pacifica FWD listed for 35k with 45k miles on it (I'm guessing I would pay about 40k OTD or lower for it). I'm leaning toward the Pacifica, but was wondering everyones opinion on cars and what they would choose?

Seating and stowing are the same. Back up camera and sensors (Pacifica has the 360 thing) Entertainment systems pretty much the same (Pacifica has a built in blu-ray player). Engine and power more or less the same-ish.

Car will be used as commuter car too so the mileage is 22 MPG Odyssey vs 30 MPG for the Pacifica.

How important is it to get a bye for Regional Qualifiers if you're going for a best-of card?

I'll be attending the Los Angeles Regional Qualifiers and trying my luck at getting a best-of card. I currently have no byes under my belt and the best I've ever gotten at a local skirmish is top 3 and made it into a few top 8s.

I have around 4-5 more skirmishes I can attend this next month and wondering if I should pivot to a meta champion to clinch a bye or should I just focus on using my regular sub-par legend to try to win a local skirmish.

The practice would be good with my regular legend, but I always feel like I would have an easier time just playing the meta. How important is it to get a bye?

Overnumber Poros with 90s Flair

I used to showcase all the banned cards in this photo wallet, but I found a better use for it.

However, I found out at the card shop that a lot of these cards have rotated out. Does anyone know of any good replacements for the G cards? Or is there a tournament legal deck list that someone else has already made?

Black and White Reflection Tokens

I don't have a color printer and thought black and white cards would be cool as reflection tokens. Added another layer with the reflection token cutout that was inspired by an earlier post here. I think they're kinda neat without the overlay as well.

Needlessly Hooked Yordles

Decklist: https://piltoverarchive.com/decks/view/aa95dac6-6605-4170-8629-b7b673a021f1

The idea around this deck is to cheat out your Needlessly Large Yordles. Plan B is to play a swarm style deck by constantly playing Vanguard Captain and generating tons of recruits. These recruits share the BF swords and seals are there to offset power and equip costs.

Zenith blade your Yordles as surprise defenders. If you hold with Nami, you can play accelerated Yordles for a discount. You can also sacrifice a Yordle to play Atakhan for 0 cost if you get two of them at one battlefield, then allowing you to gank next turn.

There will be combats where you use heroic charge to win the battlefield, allowing you to buff a 2 might unit to 4 might. Then hook that unit for your Yordle. A mix of hidden cards for draw and stun, paid for by seals too.

Trifrian Warcamp is the best BF to use as you can search for Yordles with just your 3 might units.

A very fun deck to play and catches a lot of people off guard.

I was able to trigger my Vi Legend ability one time during my Nexus Night. AMA

BO1 series. I had an red Kaisa and a yellow Fiora in base that were stunned last turn due to Vex at a battlefield. My Vex opponent had 2 runes up with 5 cards in hand. He has purple Vex on a battlefield with a hidden card and purple Kha on the other. I HAVE to kill this Vex!

I drop a Hextech Guantlets and attach it to my Fiora. She's mighty. I gamble. I move into the battlefield with BOTH Kaisa and Fiora. The hidden card? It's NOT Back Off. It's Evelyn. He's at 6 might against my 11 might.

I pass focus. I wait. Twonk? Existential dread? He has NOTHING! He doesn't have enough might to clear my Fiora. He trades the Kaisa!

I tap my Vi legend! I READY FIORA. SHE HAS GANKING. I move her to the other battlefield that has Kha. He gets +2 might. Doesn't matter. I'm 7! Focus is passed again. HE DOESN'T HAVE DISICIPLINE! I double conquer! Finally it has happened.

I then realized I forgot to draw 1 for conquering the first battlefield with Hextech Gauntlets because I've never triggered that ability before either.

I still lost the game, but I had finally used my legend ability that night. I considered that a win.
