# Reflection Template For Silas Renn, Seeker Adept // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful

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 turned on early Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful pressure, a protected Silas Renn, Seeker Adept recursion line, a planeswalker or legend sticking, a single interaction window, mana failure, or inability to close after stabilization.

- Mulligan review: record whether the opener had castable pressure, at least two usable mana sources, and interaction aligned to the opponent. Flag hands that kept only cantripping or speculative cards such as Gitaxian Probe, Tainted Pact, Demonic Tutor, Rivendell, or Minas Tirith without a clear first-three-turn plan.

- Mana review: note every game where City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Watery Grave, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountain, Underground River, Caves of Koilos, Dismember, or Gitaxian Probe materially changed life totals. Check whether fetch sequencing with Flooded Strand, Polluted Delta, Marsh Flats, Verdant Catacombs, Misty Rainforest, Scalding Tarn, Arid Mesa, Windswept Heath, or Bloodstained Mire preserved white removal, blue permission, and black discard.

- Velocity review: ask whether Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel, Psychic Frog, Raffine, Scheming Seer, Kaito, Bane of Nightmares, Skullclamp, Minas Tirith, Rivendell, or Sygg, Wanderwine Wisdom converted into decisions that improved the current board texture. Card text check required for unfamiliar draw or filtering details before blaming a card for low output.

- Engine review: track whether Silas Renn, Seeker Adept, Unearth, Pre-War Formalwear, Takenuma, Abandoned Mire, Emperor of Bones, Barrowgoyf, and Tainted Pact were enabled or stranded by graveyard pressure, sideboard hate, or sequencing.

- Removal review: record whether Cut Down, Fatal Push, Swords to Plowshares, Prismatic Ending, Sheoldred's Edict, Dismember, Solitude, Skyclave Apparition, Swift Reconfiguration, Parallax Wave, Otawara, Soaring City, and Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire answered the threat that mattered before combat or only cleaned up after the game was already slipping.

- Stack review: identify missed or overused windows for Force Spike, Mana Tithe, Spell Pierce, Daze, Mana Leak, Memory Lapse, Force of Negation, Wash Away, Tale's End, Stifle, Subtlety, Tishana's Tidebinder, Ertai Resurrected, Dovin's Veto, and Mental Misstep. Mark whether the soft counters were spent while they still constrained mana.

- Sideboard review: ask whether Rest in Peace, Grafdigger's Cage, Dauthi Voidwalker, Kaya's Guile, Stony Silence, Pithing Needle, Disenchant, Supreme Verdict, Duress, or Dovin's Veto affected visible opposing actions. Flag any sideboard card that entered without a public target, matchup reason, or clear pressure plan.

- Closing review: record whether wins came from Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Raffine, Scheming Seer, Psychic Frog, Kaito, Bane of Nightmares, Svyelun of Sea and Sky, Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, evasive legends, or attrition. Ask whether the deck stabilized but gave the opponent too many draw steps.

- Role review: compare the chosen role against the revealed game. Note when the pilot acted as control despite having the only clock, or raced despite holding better interaction.

- Mistake review: log every action where Veles selected a legal line but ignored visible board pressure, a stack window, a commander tax constraint, a sideboard hate conflict, or a known card from Thoughtseize, Gitaxian Probe, Vendilion Clique, or reveal effects.
