# Reflection Template For Giada, Font of Hope

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: Which visible event most changed the game: an early Giada, Font of Hope, a cost reducer such as Pearl Medallion, Cloud Key, Herald's Horn, or Urza's Incubator, a lifegain swing from Righteous Valkyrie, Lyra Dawnbringer, Baneslayer Angel, or Bishop of Wings, or a missed interaction window with Crib Swap, Angel of Sanctions, or Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire?

- Mulligans: Did the opener have enough Plains or mana rocks to cast Giada, Font of Hope and the next meaningful Angel on time, or did it keep expensive cards such as Serra's Emissary, Sanctuary Warden, Platinum Angel, Valkyrie Harbinger, or Emeria's Call without a credible early path?

- Mana: Did Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or Nyx Lotus produce real acceleration from visible devotion, or did the pilot sequence them before building a board that could support them? Track whether Arcane Signet, Coldsteel Heart, Pillar of Origins, Mind Stone, Oketra's Monument, Pearl Medallion, Cloud Key, Herald's Horn, and Urza's Incubator converted into extra spells or only delayed pressure.

- Velocity: Did the deck run away of cards after one removal spell or sweeper, and did Inspiring Overseer, Sanctuary Warden, Herald's Horn, Mind Stone, Serra Paragon, Sigardian Savior, Starfield Shepherd, or Castle Ardenvale materially rebuild from the visible state?

- Engines: Did Giada, Font of Hope enter before later Angels when legal and safe, or did sequencing leave counters unclaimed? Record whether Metallic Mimic, Roaming Throne, Resplendent Marshal, Serra Redeemer, Serra the Benevolent, Bishop of Wings, Youthful Valkyrie, Resplendent Angel, and Valkyrie Harbinger created scaling pressure, lifegain, tokens, or only win-more board presence.

- Removal: Did Crib Swap, Angel of Sanctions, Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire, and Linvala, Keeper of Silence answer the card that actually constrained attacks, blocks, or survival? Note any game where interaction was held for a hypothetical threat while a visible threat dealt lethal or invalidated the Angel board.

- Sideboard: Did any match call for sideboard changes even though the registered sideboard is empty? Record the pressure type, but do not propose illegal decklist changes during runtime.

- Closing: Did the pilot convert aerial superiority into lethal, or did it over-develop with more Angels when attack actions were already favorable? Flag games where Angel of Destiny, Enduring Angel, Platinum Angel, or Serra's Emissary was selected for special text without confirmed legal text and visible survivability.

- Role: Did the pilot correctly identify aggro stabilization, midrange board dominance, control threat spacing, or big-mana racing? Note turns where playing Pearl Medallion or Urza's Incubator was worse than casting Segovian Angel, Speaker of the Heavens, Youthful Valkyrie, Angel of Vitality, or another pressure/stabilizer.

- Mistakes: Which legal action looked suspicious after replay: passing with interaction available, attacking with a needed blocker, blocking away Giada, Font of Hope unnecessarily, spending mana before a tax or combat trick window, or casting a payoff into visible removal pressure?

- Stranded cards: Which cards remained uncast or low-impact: Serra's Guardian, Angelic Guardian, Skyline Savior, Champions of Tyr, Starnheim Unleashed, Stalwart Valkyrie, Vanguard Seraph, Sustainer of the Realm, Angel of the Dawn, Boon-Bringer Valkyrie, Exalted Sunborn, or Emeria Captain?

- Overperformers and underperformers: Which exact cards repeatedly advanced winning lines, and which exact cards were drawn but failed to affect the board, race, mana, or recovery plan?
