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 game was decided by early board pressure, commander access through Fang, Fearless l'Cie, graveyard recursion, life drain from Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Syphon Soul, or a failure to convert sacrifice draw into pressure.
- Mulligan quality: note whether the opener had black mana, a castable early creature, a draw or recursion engine, and a realistic path to use Fang, Fearless l'Cie without falling behind.
- Mana function: track whether Swamp count, Wayfarer's Bauble, Charcoal Diamond, Pristine Talisman, Crystal Grotto, Hidden Grotto, Conduit Pylons, Polluted Mire, Desert of the Glorified, Bojuka Bog, Mortuary Mire, or Witch's Cottage caused tapped-land delays, colorless bottlenecks, or useful sequencing advantages.
- Velocity check: ask whether Village Rites, Deadly Dispute, Corrupted Conviction, Eviscerator's Insight, Merciless Resolve, Cost of Brilliance, Dusk Legion Zealot, Resentful Revelation, Diresight, or Risky Shortcut found action at the right time or sacrificed too much board.
- Engine check: identify whether Persistent Specimen, Retrofitted Transmogrant, Dogged Detective, Skeleton Crew, Haunt of the Dead Marshes, Wailing Ghoul, Mindwrack Harpy, Dread Return, Unearth, Soul Salvage, Wander in Death, Return from Extinction, Pull from the Grave, Macabre Waltz, Ghoulcaller's Chant, Gravedig, Grim Discovery, Bone Harvest, Mortuary Mire, and Witch's Cottage produced meaningful recursion or merely delayed losing.
- Removal timing: review whether Defile, Murder, Tendrils of Corruption, Bone Shards, Bone Splinters, Eaten Alive, Feed the Swarm, Accursed Marauder, and sideboard Chainer's Edict, Snuff Out, Crypt Rats, or Suffocating Fumes answered the threat that mattered most from visible board state.
- Graveyard-hate discipline: check whether Crypt Creeper, Cremate, Bojuka Bog, Nihil Spellbomb, Relic of Progenitus, and Faerie Macabre exiled an opposing payoff window without damaging this deck's next legal recursion line.
- Combat discipline: record whether Scarblade Scout, Scrounger of Souls, Purple Pentapus, Wreckage Wickerfolk, Desperate Farmer // Depraved Harvester, Charity Extractor, Cabal Initiate, Troll of Khazad-dûm, and Fang, Fearless l'Cie traded, attacked, or stayed back according to the visible race.
- Protection usage: ask whether Professor's Warning, Unnatural Endurance, Scales of Shale, Armor of Shadows, Without Weakness, Azra Smokeshaper, Unlikely Aid, and Masterful Flourish changed combat or removal math; Card text check required before crediting any exact rules interaction.
- Closing plan: note whether Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Syphon Soul, Tendrils of Corruption, Scrounger of Souls, Charity Extractor, Troll of Khazad-dûm, Wreckage Wickerfolk, Skeleton Crew, Purple Pentapus, or Fang, Fearless l'Cie actually closed before the opponent recovered.
- Sideboard impact: record whether Duress, Wrench Mind, Unexpected Fangs, Chainer's Edict, Snuff Out, Nihil Spellbomb, Relic of Progenitus, Crypt Rats, Suffocating Fumes, and Faerie Macabre matched the opponent's visible plan after boarding.
- Mistake review: flag any pass with available interaction, sacrifice of the only stabilizing blocker, recursion target chosen before checking graveyard value, or land-top effect from Mortuary Mire, Witch's Cottage, or Bone Harvest made before draw sequencing was clear.
- Stranded-card review: list cards stuck in hand because of mana, missing creatures to sacrifice, missing graveyard targets, poor timing, or opponent board texture.
- Overperformer and underperformer review: name exact cards that created the win or failed repeatedly, and separate pilot error from structural deck weakness.
