Reflection Template For Abzan Yawgmoth
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 turn or decision frame that most changed the game, then record whether it involved Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Chord of Calling, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, Grist, the Hunger Tide, A-Blood Artist, sideboard hate, or a mana failure.
-
Mulligans: Record whether opening hands had a functional mix of mana, early creature, and payoff access, then note if keeping without Birds of Paradise, Delighted Halfling, Young Wolf, Badgermole Cub, Chord of Calling, Green Sun's Zenith, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, or Yawgmoth, Thran Physician led to slow starts.
-
Mana: Track every loss where black for Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, green for Chord of Calling or Green Sun's Zenith, or white for sideboard cards was missing, late, or available only through painful Overgrown Tomb or Temple Garden sequencing.
-
Velocity: Check whether Dredger's Insight, Malevolent Rumble, Jet Collector, Deathrite Shaman, and Grist, the Hunger Tide increased action density, or whether they delayed board stabilization, combo assembly, or pressure.
-
Engine access: Count games where the deck found Yawgmoth, Thran Physician but lacked sacrifice fodder, found Young Wolf or Badgermole Cub but lacked payoff, or drew Agatha's Soul Cauldron without a graveyard or creature context that made it matter.
-
Removal and disruption: Record whether Grist, the Hunger Tide, Witch Enchanter, Boseiju, Who Endures, Accursed Marauder, A-Haywire Mite, Outland Liberator, Endurance, Deafening Silence, Archon of Emeria, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Strict Proctor, or Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons answered the specific opposing axis shown by public information.
-
Sideboard accuracy: After each post-board game, note whether the exact plan reduced too much core engine density or failed to add enough hate, protection, life, removal, artifact/enchantment pressure, or graveyard interaction for the opponent's visible plan.
-
Closing: Record whether wins ended through A-Blood Artist drain, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician card flow, Agatha's Soul Cauldron pressure, Grist, the Hunger Tide, combat, or opponent concession, and flag games where the deck stabilized but lacked a clean closer.
-
Role assignment: Mark whether the pilot correctly chose combo, midrange, tax-disruption, or survival posture after seeing the opponent's first public signals, and identify any game where the deck kept grinding while a faster combo line was needed.
-
Mistakes: Log every priority pass with available Chord of Calling, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician activation, Grist, the Hunger Tide action, sideboard interaction, or lethal/survival block that later looked decisive.
-
Stranded cards: Track cards stuck in hand because of mana, timing, target absence, graveyard absence, creature-count shortage, or opponent board state, especially Chord of Calling, Green Sun's Zenith, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, Dredger's Insight, and sideboard one-ofs.
-
Overperformers and underperformers: Compare repeated impact from Badgermole Cub, Young Wolf, Birds of Paradise, Delighted Halfling, Grist, the Hunger Tide, A-Blood Artist, Prosperous Innkeeper, Archon of Emeria, Deathrite Shaman, Boggart Trawler, Ouroboroid, Rope Line Attendant, and Witch Enchanter against their role expectations. Card text check required before making final judgments on digital or unfamiliar cards.
