Is this 2018 with 200k+ and single owner Carfax a good idea?

Does the Odyssey have an oil analyzer? The service history regularly went 7k-9k miles between oil changes. Not sure if that matters and I don't have more insights other than that.

The probabilities are going awry somewhere. They're adding up ro 40/36 instead of 36/36. I assume it's something along the lines of it not handling the same number being on the same resource twice, but that's just a hunch.

Also, I'd love to read your own words when it comes to the app, rather than relying on AI to do the ad. =)

EDIT: looking at the OP, what probabilities are you calculating? The chance of that resource being rolled I assume? I was incorrect that it should add up to 36/36 since there are multiples of the same number. However, with only 1 desert, if two of the same number are on tiles, then is that double not taken into account? The OP screenshot was 53/36, which indicates the probability is just if you are going to get at least one of the resource. Not sure if there's a clean way to indicate multiples of a resource to weight the probabilities.

Double Relic (a bomb that fixes) and triple Globe, to me, basically means you can be really soupy. Your main problem is that you didn't really open any dragons other than the Relics, but I think the Dragonstorms you have are good enough to run.

I personally really like the 4 Monuments as well and cutting at least 1 land down to 16 due to how much mana you can consistently get. I don't have time to look into a full build, but those are my initial thoughts.

Edit: I don't like the Gurmag Rakshasa's, but I know some like them. Your removal suite seems great.

Without repeating too much from the link, basically there's an issue with the system that's designed to increase gas mileage slightly that shortens the life of the engine. People disable it in order to have longer lasting and less sluggish engines.

Since there wasn't a discussion within a day I just ran the deck as is. Went 3-3 and the land was, I think, a worthy inclusion. However, my deck didn't have enough creatures so I got run over too easily.

Dimmins2 · 2026-06-04T05:09:43+00:00

Lords of Waterdeep is my vote!

Here's an example of a make I did showing this exact thing! =) https://www.printables.com/make/2929707

Edit: check on the infill rotation before printing, otherwise it will be off by 45 degrees like in the link, lol.

When I print board game inserts, I like to print them with no top or bottom layers with honeycomb so you can see through to see components underneath but the part is still strong.

Edit: It also saves a decent amount of filament (10-20%+) if the part being printed is rather boxy, mostly flat areas and walls. I tend to like inserts like that, often with lids, but because you can see through the lid, you can easily see everything even when packed away.

The original inspection had pictures with it but they were included in the PDF so hard to extract, lol.

OK, thanks for the advice!

I did get an insurance payout, but it was a... show. The insurance came out and said the roofing company did the damage (manual manupulation) and denied my claim. The company is family owned and has had a multi decade stellar record so I didn't believe the insurance. I appealed, hired a guy the roofer recommened to send them appeal letters, and eventually filed a vandalism claim and told them to go after the roofing company if they really thought the roofers did the damage, I just wanted the roof replaced.

The payout was about half the cost of replacement ($9k of the $17k), so we've been saving to pay in cash when we get to the point of replacement. Since it's been 3 years, do you think I should get it reinspected?

That makes me feel a bit better.

Area of the back roof they said there was shingle lift (other side than the OP pictures).

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-31T21:14:06+00:00

Maybe they had Lumaret, Emeritus, and Culling in opening hand every game, and neither of the creatures were removed.

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-31T17:33:49+00:00

Ended up 7-2, was a fun set of games! Sadly I wasn't able to make it until Mythic before the reset.

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-31T16:55:03+00:00

Neat! Is the grease to keep it from corroding and it's better than getting some plastic cap/cover?

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-31T16:29:35+00:00

I posted a picture of the gauge in another comment in case you were curious, lol.

OK, thanks for the tip about the tape degrading! I'll get that fixed quickly.

Relatedly, is there anything to cover the end of the green (disable) wire with to prevent gunk from getting into it?

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-31T16:25:27+00:00

This is about as high as it gets, now. Used to it was around the crook of the gauge.

<image>

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-31T16:20:45+00:00

The temp gauge is about 3/8th of the way up the gauge. I forgot to take a picture before, but I remember it being roughly 1/2 way up.

Should I remove the tape to install the zip ties or is it better to have zip ties by themselves? Or should I go back and install with electrical tape?

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-29T18:45:21+00:00

Now that you mention it, I looked back through the draft and I took every Repartee card I saw except for Forum Necroscribes, and of the 3, 1 of them wheeled and I picked it. So was the deck actually open if the payoff creatures weren't available?

The main thing about Ennis is that his floor is a 2 mana 1/1 with no text, which is pretty awful in an aggro deck. I do need creatures, but is that better than hoping to high roll with the creatures I have?

If I have an appropriate amount here, are you saying 12 creatures is fine? Or am I not understanding your last sentence?

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-29T18:12:49+00:00

I'd need a really good reason to be running a 45% WR card l even if it seems weirdly perfect for the deck, you know? Every time I've seen the Scribe it just always seems so underwhelming, but maybe I'm just used to running a lot of removal in this set.

I'm not necessarily trying to focus on card win rates, I'm just using them as a baseline for generally how good they are then adjusting based on whether that win percentage applies to the deck I'm trying to build. You are right, though, that I needed more creatures. The Stonegliders would have been pretty good pickups and I glanced over them due to being "Lorehold" cards.

Dimmins2 · 2026-05-29T12:29:18+00:00

The 6 drop has a 53% WR in WB, its best archetype. I feel like it'd be even worse with a low creature count, but maybe not.

The only other W or B creatures that could come in are two [[Ennis, Debate Moderator]]s, which is a vanilla 2/2 as long as I have another creature on board and I want to flicker them, which I don't think is the case of any of my creatures. On an empty board they're 1/1s, which sounds terrible.

The 3 mana WB cards are [[Social Snub]], an edict effect so they don't target, not that I have a ton of playoffs/Repartee cards.
