# Reflection Template For Quintorius Combo

For each loss, name one primary cause and one secondary cause.
For each win, name the card, package, or tactical policy that most contributed to the win.
Classify each result as a card quantity problem, card selection problem, mana problem, tempo problem, matchup problem, sideboard problem, pilot sequencing problem, or closing-power problem.
Report mana performance, sideboard impact, stranded cards, overperforming cards, underperforming cards, and whether the Deck Strategy or Tactical Policy guidance was followed.

- Deciding factor: Identify whether the game was decided by a resolved `Quintorius Kand`, copied pressure from `Spark Double` or `Surgical Metamorph`, instant-speed pressure from `Shark Typhoon`, large creature beats from `Calim, Djinn Emperor`, `Horned Loch-Whale`, `Oliphaunt`, or `Trumpeting Carnosaur`, or by failure to assemble those pieces before the opponent’s clock.

- Mulligans: Record whether each keep had functional lands, a castable interaction plan with `Leyline Binding` or `Mirrorshell Crab`, and a credible route to `Quintorius Kand`; flag any keep that had expensive spells but no near-term action.

- Mana: Note every turn where `Mirrex`, `Castle Vantress`, singleton shock lands, or missing triome colors prevented the chosen legal action, especially casting `Leyline Binding`, committing `Quintorius Kand`, or holding up `Mirrorshell Crab`.

- Velocity: Check whether the 67-card configuration delayed finding `Quintorius Kand`, `Shark Typhoon`, or interaction; distinguish actual draw variance from keeps that lacked a plan.

- Engine commitment: Review each `Quintorius Kand` turn for whether waiting one turn would have increased protection, mana flexibility, or follow-up pressure, and whether going now was forced by visible lethal pressure.

- Copy effects: Audit every `Spark Double` and `Surgical Metamorph` decision for target quality; flag copies made only to spend mana when a later `Quintorius Kand`, `Shark Typhoon`, or large threat target was plausible.

- Removal and interaction: Track whether `Leyline Binding` answered the permanent that changed the race or stopped the combo plan, and whether `Mirrorshell Crab` was spent on a decisive spell or ability rather than a low-impact exchange.

- Sideboard: After post-board games, ask whether `Doomskar` actually answered the opponent’s pressure and whether `Virtue of Courage` produced relevant resource advantage; Card text check required for exact `Virtue of Courage` mode evaluation.

- Closing: Record whether the deck won promptly after stabilizing, or whether it stabilized without a closing plan because threats were stranded, copied poorly, or answered one at a time.

- Role: Classify the pilot’s correct role each game as race, stabilize-then-combo, attrition, or protect-the-engine; flag turns where the chosen action contradicted the visible role.

- Mistakes: Mark any pass, attack, block, target, or mana payment where the legal action list contained a clearly safer survival line, a higher-pressure closing line, or a cleaner setup for `Quintorius Kand`.

- Stranded cards: Count games where `Doomskar`, `Virtue of Courage`, `Spark Double`, `Surgical Metamorph`, `Mirrorshell Crab`, or high-cost threats remained unusable because of mana, target absence, timing, or role mismatch.

- Overperformers and underperformers: List exact cards that changed outcomes, not just cards that looked powerful; compare `Shark Typhoon`, `Leyline Binding`, `Quintorius Kand`, `Calim, Djinn Emperor`, `Horned Loch-Whale`, `Oliphaunt`, `Trumpeting Carnosaur`, `Spark Double`, and `Surgical Metamorph` by outcome impact.
