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 the exact turn or decision that swung the game, then record whether it involved Wraith, Vicious Vigilante connecting, failing to connect, being answered, or being delayed by mana and protection sequencing.
- Mulligans: Record whether opening hands had both colors, an early carrier plan, a protection piece such as Blacksmith's Skill, Karametra's Blessing, Shore Up, Turn Aside, or Hindering Light, and a way to make combat matter through Ethereal Armor, All That Glitters, Steel of the Godhead, One With the Wind, or Spectral Flight.
- Mana: Note every turn where Island, Plains, Command Tower, Path of Ancestry, Razortide Bridge, Skybridge Towers, North Pole Gates, University Campus, Forge of Heroes, Abandoned Campground, or Dig Site Inventory changed the available line, especially when holding up Counterspell, Spell Pierce, Muddle the Mixture, or protection.
- Velocity: Track whether Ophidian Eye, Tandem Lookout, Last Thoughts, Goggles of Night, Goldvein Pick, Prying Blade, Hidden Strings, Defiant Strike, or Cartouche of Knowledge created real follow-up decisions or sat stranded behind blockers, removal, or missing evasion.
- Engine execution: Check whether Ethereal Armor and All That Glitters were cast after enough artifacts, enchantments, or protection were visible to justify the commitment, and whether Bone Saw, Bonesplitter, Darksteel Axe, Utility Knife, Goldvein Pick, Golem-Skin Gauntlets, Armory of Iroas, Adventuring Gear, Greatsword of Tyr, Kor Halberd, Amorphous Axe, Dúnedain Blade, and Strider Harness supported a credible commander-damage clock.
- Removal and disruption: Record whether Chains of Custody, Counterspell, Spell Pierce, Hindering Light, Magic Damper, Muddle the Mixture, Dizzy Spell, You Come to a River, and Sigil of Sleep answered the relevant public threat or were spent on low-impact windows.
- Sideboard impact: For each post-board game, record whether Dispel, Intervene, Keep Safe, Guided Strike, Acrobatic Leap, Flare of Faith, Rebellious Strike, Beaming Defiance, Moment of Triumph, or Bonds of Faith had a visible legal-action window and whether the added role matched the opponent's public plan.
- Closing: Ask whether the deck lost with lethal or near-lethal damage stranded because Wraith, Vicious Vigilante lacked evasion, protection, untap timing, or safe attack math.
- Role accuracy: Record whether the pilot correctly played tempo against slow engines, control against fast pressure, and protection-first Voltron against removal-heavy opponents.
- Mistakes: Mark any action where the pilot cast a premium aura before protection, tapped the only relevant color, attacked into a visible losing crack-back, passed with useful legal interaction, or used a narrow answer outside its real Forge-legal window.
- Stranded cards: List every card stuck in hand for three or more turns, with the reason: missing color, missing target, unsafe board, no legal action, commander tax, or opponent pressure.
- Overperformers and underperformers: Record whether specific cards won time, cards, damage, or protection, and separate real performance from games where the card was never drawn or never had a legal window.
