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 first turn where the game became favored or unfavorable, then name whether the cause was mana, early damage, a failed Indomitable Creativity window, a resolved Torrential Gearhulk, a missed land drop, or an interaction exchange.
- Mulligans: Record whether the opener had early red, early blue, at least two lands, a clear token/material path for Indomitable Creativity, or a functional Torrential Gearhulk plus instant graveyard plan; flag keeps that relied on drawing both mana and action.
- Mana: Track whether Riverglide Pathway, Steam Vents, Shivan Reef, Thundering Falls, Stormcarved Coast, Island, Mountain, Hall of Storm Giants, Otawara, Soaring City, Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance, or Fountainport sequencing prevented a legal Fiery Impulse, Divide by Zero, Deduce, Prismari Charm, Prismari Command, Indomitable Creativity, or Torrential Gearhulk action.
- Velocity: Note whether Deduce, Stern Lesson, Prismari Charm, and Prismari Command found land drops and live interaction, or whether spending mana on card flow exposed the deck to lethal pressure or a decisive opposing spell.
- Engine material: Record every Indomitable Creativity attempt, the target count, the expendable permanent used, whether opponent interaction removed the material, and whether waiting for Fountainport, Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance, Prismari Command, or Prismari Charm would have improved the window.
- Graveyard setup: Check whether Magma Opus, Abrade, Into the Flood Maw, Fiery Impulse, Divide by Zero, Prismari Charm, Prismari Command, Deduce, Stern Lesson, Spikefield Hazard, or Sublime Epiphany entered the graveyard in time for Torrential Gearhulk without discarding the wrong payoff or starving later decisions.
- Removal: Review whether Fiery Impulse, Abrade, Spikefield Hazard, Prismari Charm, Prismari Command, Into the Flood Maw, Anger of the Gods, or Pyroclasm answered the visible threat that mattered most, or whether cheap removal was spent before a higher-priority attacker, engine creature, or artifact appeared.
- Interaction: Review every Divide by Zero, Sublime Epiphany, Mystical Dispute, Negate, Change the Equation, Aether Gust, and Prismari Charm stack decision for target legality, timing, and whether preserving interaction for a payoff would have changed the game.
- Sideboard: Confirm whether each sideboard card brought in had visible or matchup-based targets; apply Card text check required before evaluating Boomerang Basics, It'll Quench Ya!, Firebending Lesson, Iroh's Demonstration, Redirect Lightning, Improvisation Capstone, or The Legend of Roku as successes or failures.
- Closing: Record whether Torrential Gearhulk, Magma Opus, Hall of Storm Giants, repeated token pressure, or a resolved Indomitable Creativity actually closed the game, and flag games where the deck stabilized but failed to convert before the opponent recovered.
- Role: Mark whether the pilot correctly played control, combo, or tempo-control after sideboarding; flag games where Deduce or Stern Lesson was prioritized while under a short clock, or removal was overheld against visible lethal pressure.
- Mistakes: List only mistakes proven by legal actions and visible board state, such as missed land sequencing, passing with available interaction, targeting the wrong visible permanent, tapping out before a known pressure point, or exposing the only Creativity material.
- Stranded cards: Track dead or delayed copies of Magma Opus, Torrential Gearhulk, Indomitable Creativity, Sublime Epiphany, Divide by Zero, Prismari Charm, Prismari Command, and sideboard cards, then state whether the issue was mana, timing, matchup fit, or missing enablers.
- Overperformers and underperformers: Separate card quality from draw context; a card overperformed only if it created a decisive legal exchange, and underperformed only if it was repeatedly stranded, too narrow, too slow, or worse than an available registered alternative.
