# Reflection Template For Rakdos Sacrifice

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: record whether the match was won by recursive pressure, sacrifice reach, removal tempo, planeswalker pressure, creature-land damage, or opponent stumble. Name the cards that actually converted advantage, especially Bloodghast, Forsaken Miner, Goblin Bombardment, Mayhem Devil, Chthonian Nightmare, Seasoned Pyromancer, Ob Nixilis, the Adversary, Den of the Bugbear, and Hive of the Eye Tyrant.

- Mulligans: note whether each keep had early colors, at least one proactive play, and either an engine card or interaction. Flag hands that kept Artillery Enthusiast, Voldaren Epicure, Bloodghast, or Forsaken Miner without Goblin Bombardment, Mayhem Devil, Chthonian Nightmare, Seasoned Pyromancer, Fatal Push, or a clear pressure-land plan.

- Mana: track every game where Blightstep Pathway, Blood Crypt, Blackcleave Cliffs, Phyrexian Tower, Takenuma, Abandoned Mire, Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance, Barbarian Ring, Den of the Bugbear, Hive of the Eye Tyrant, or Mountain constrained a line. Record whether tapped timing, color choice, pain from Blood Crypt, or sacrificing to Phyrexian Tower changed the turn.

- Velocity: ask whether the deck spent the first three turns affecting the board or only setting up material. Flag games where Blood-token filtering, Seasoned Pyromancer, or Chthonian Nightmare arrived too late to prevent falling behind.

- Engines: identify the first engine that mattered and whether it survived long enough to change decisions. Separate Goblin Bombardment reach, Mayhem Devil trigger pressure, Chthonian Nightmare recursion, Warren Soultrader sacrifice mana, and Seasoned Pyromancer refuel instead of grouping them as generic value.

- Removal: review every Fatal Push, Molten Impact, and Kolaghan's Command decision for target quality. Mark whether removal answered a lethal attacker, blocker, engine, artifact, planeswalker, or merely spent mana on a low-impact legal target.

- Sideboard: record which sideboard cards were drawn, cast, stranded, or actively wanted. Track Disruptor Flute name quality, Molten Impact target density, Kolaghan's Command mode relevance, and Ob Nixilis, the Adversary pressure against the opponent's actual plan.

- Closing: note whether stable boards became wins quickly. Flag games where the deck had material but lacked Mayhem Devil, Goblin Bombardment, Ob Nixilis, the Adversary, Seasoned Pyromancer bodies, Den of the Bugbear, or Hive of the Eye Tyrant to finish.

- Role: decide after the match whether the pilot correctly played beatdown, attrition, control, or race. Mark role errors such as overprotecting life while ahead, sacrificing blockers under pressure, overcommitting engines into visible removal, or passing with a legal closing line.

- Mistakes: capture visible missed sequencing involving landfall for Bloodghast, graveyard targets for Chthonian Nightmare, sacrifice timing for Mayhem Devil or Goblin Bombardment, and mana timing with Phyrexian Tower. Do not assume hidden-card mistakes without public evidence.

- Stranded cards: list cards held for multiple turns because of mana, missing targets, board texture, or legal-action absence. Pay special attention to Chthonian Nightmare, Warren Soultrader, Kolaghan's Command, Disruptor Flute, Ob Nixilis, the Adversary, and creature lands.

- Overperformers and underperformers: identify cards that changed win probability, not cards that merely appeared. Compare each card's result to its expected role in that matchup and stage.
