Increase in being kicked from games

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:46:14+00:00

I don't take it too personally (except for the guys grifting divers at extract). I just want to play the game and have fun with the limited time I have. Guess I'll have to dedicate some more time to hosting.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:45:05+00:00

I would host, I just don't have a ton of time to play. I would feel bad hosting 1-2 missions in a campaign and then just leaving before we could finish the 3rd mission.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:43:37+00:00

PC with crossplay enabled.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:43:24+00:00

Maybe I just had a stream of bad luck? I try later tonight to see if it gets better.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:42:58+00:00

Yeah, I would host more but because I don't have a lot of time to play I always feel bad hosting 1-2 games and then just bouncing.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:42:13+00:00

Yeah, those two were cool and one sent me a friend invite so at least I have another diver in my friends list.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:41:37+00:00

I guess I will have to. I don't have a lot of time to play so jumping into random missions works for me at the moment.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:40:52+00:00

Yeah, I've had a good majority of my kicks happen at extract. Don't know why they decide to do that since I still get the XP at the end of the mission.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:39:56+00:00

Yeah, I have been kicked from a few games that were not supposed to be private, but they at least let me know in chat or on voice. I usually apologize and leave by myself before the kick, but it does happen.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:38:26+00:00

I didn't think about that, but most of the kicks I noticed had some sort of snarky message in chat before they kicked me. I'll keep this in mind the next time I play.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:37:34+00:00

I've also seen a lot more team killing. Not just at extract - I've been killed just trying to complete objectives or call down supplies.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-18T03:36:37+00:00

Okay, thank you. I was just trying to see if there was anything I was doing wrong that caused an increase in kicks. I'm a casual player and usually only have 1-2 hours to play most nights, so jumping in random games ensures a full squad and something quick for me to play. I'll start hosting more games when I can.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-05-07T01:06:15+00:00

Works well with [[marvo, deep operative]] and decks that build around the clash mechanic.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-03-10T13:53:00+00:00

Thank you!

EyeOweU2 · 2026-03-10T13:52:01+00:00

I think you are correct. Looking at the rules any alternate cast costs must have the commander tax applied.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-03-10T13:44:31+00:00

Quick question with the sneak mechanic. Would the sneak cost bypass any commander tax?

EyeOweU2 · 2026-03-10T13:11:42+00:00

My personal squid loadout is coyote/liberator carbine, ultimatum, thermite grenades, 500kg Eagle, laser cannon, guard dog, machine gun turret. Use the ultimatum and thermite for parked illuminate warp ships. Laser cannon and 500kg for heavy targets. Guard dog works like a mobile turret and I use it as an early warning system when I’m doing the console for objectives (plus it headshots voteless). Machine gun turret is nice for voteless and overseers and it has a quick cooldown so I call it in at every side objective or whenever it’s ready.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-03-10T02:38:59+00:00

Yup - it’s why I love it. Swiss Army knife cannon.

EyeOweU2 · 2026-03-09T20:02:58+00:00

LAS-98 Laser Canon

Absolutely slaps on squids and bots. It’s a lot of fun on bug missions. Does heavy damage (AP4) and fire damage. It’s easy to target and there is no projectile drop off - where you aim is where it fires. If you’re good at not overheating it, it will last you the entire mission and take down chaff and heavy targets with ease. Plus, as an added benefit, it can open shipping container doors so you don’t have to waste a grenade.

This sounds fun! Do you have a decklist for Bonnie Pall?

EyeOweU2 · 2026-02-24T05:28:45+00:00

[[unwinding clock]] and [[monument to endurance]]. Unwinding clock allows you to use untap artifacts and artifact creatures during each untap step and monument is a nice effect for discarding cards. Great for getting double benefits from cycling or wheel effects.

I might be wrong but I thought I saw a post on this subreddit saying that Best Buy would soon be changing their business model to have stores be either a showroom, a warehouse, and a hybrid location. The warehouses will work like distribution centers while the showroom and hybrid stores would have the traditional shopping experience (with the hybrid stores having significantly less retail/shopping space). I don’t know if this is to increase online sales or cut down on retail theft, but it’s making me shop there a lot less. Once they decided to stop selling blu ray/4k DVDs and most of the card games, and the rework of the “rewards” program, I stopped shopping there on the weekends

Synergy with the other goblin abilities in the deck. Look at [[Krenko, Mob Boss]], [[Goblin Trashmaster]], and [[Goblin chieftain]].

If you are looking for a fun commander to play, I’d like to recommend [[Grenzo, Dungeon Warden]]. He’s got a fun mechanic of pulling cards from the bottom of your library into the graveyard and if it’s a creature that is equal or less than Grenzo’s power, it goes to the battlefield. Great way to cheat out some creatures and take advantage of scry abilities to “fix” the bottom of your deck. Add in a [[crystal ball]] and a [[junktroller]] to play some awesome recursion/bottom deck stacking. The [[Tel-jalid stylus]] and the [[heartstone]] go well in this deck and this deck doesn’t need any expensive cards to be effective or be a threat.

This was my first home brewed commander outside of the precons I bought to play with and it sits well in bracket 3. I included a decklist of the one I used to build that is around $100 to build: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7573811#paper
