# Reflection Template For Mardu 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 game turned on early pressure, sacrifice reach, removal timing, mana access, a sideboard card, or the opponent failing to answer Goblin Bombardment. Note the exact turn where the game shifted and the visible board state that made the shift clear.

- Mulligans: Ask whether the opener cast a meaningful spell by turn one or turn two, whether it had the colors for A-Guide of Souls, Voice of Victory, Amped Raptor, A-Galvanic Discharge, or Static Prison, and whether speculative hands with Phyrexian Tower, Aether Hub, or one land actually converted into pressure.

- Mana: Track missed color requirements, tapped-land delays, Aether Hub energy constraints, and Phyrexian Tower decisions. Flag games where black sideboard cards such as Thoughtseize or Surgical Extraction were drawn but not castable when they mattered.

- Velocity: Measure whether Amped Raptor and cheap creatures kept material flowing or whether the deck stalled with multiple Goblin Bombardment, Static Prison, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER, or removal spells and too few expendable bodies.

- Engines: Record whether Marionette Apprentice plus Goblin Bombardment, creature deaths, Phyrexian Tower, or combat trades generated real damage or material advantage. If Ajani, Nacatl Pariah, Stadium Headliner, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER, or Voice of Victory affected the engine, rely on rules-engine output and mark any unclear text as Card text check required.

- Removal: Ask whether A-Galvanic Discharge and Static Prison hit the highest-impact public threats or were spent on replaceable creatures. Note when holding interaction would have prevented lethal, protected an engine, or stopped a combo turn.

- Combat: Check whether attacks preserved enough blockers against visible pressure, whether sacrifice outlets converted blocked or dying creatures, and whether the pilot missed damage from Goblin Bombardment after blockers or before a sweeper.

- Closing: Record whether the deck closed through combat, Goblin Bombardment reach, Marionette Apprentice drain-style pressure if confirmed by engine text, or a larger legend. Flag games where the pilot stabilized but failed to pivot into lethal pressure.

- Sideboard: Ask which of Thoughtseize, Containment Priest, Damping Sphere, Disruptor Flute, Pithing Needle, Surgical Extraction, Wrath of the Skies, and Wear // Tear had a legal target or meaningful timing window. Mark sideboard cards stranded by lack of targets separately from cards stranded by mana.

- Role: Decide after each game whether Mardu Sacrifice should have been the aggressor, stabilizing midrange deck, disruption deck, or attrition engine deck. Record any turn where the pilot played the wrong role based on visible battlefield, life totals, and known cards.

- Mistakes: List illegal assumptions avoided by the engine, legal actions the pilot ignored, and any pass that occurred while a relevant A-Galvanic Discharge, Static Prison, Goblin Bombardment activation, Thoughtseize, Wear // Tear, or Wrath of the Skies line was available.

- Overperformers and underperformers: Name exact cards that won exchanges or sat dead. Separate matchup problems from quantity problems, especially for Stadium Headliner, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER, Static Prison, Goblin Bombardment, and sideboard one-ofs.
