# Reflection Template For Hidden Strings
|
|
|
|
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 each win or loss was caused by engine access, survival time, permission pressure, graveyard pressure, sideboard threat quality, or a visible sequencing mistake. Mark the first turn where `Lotus Field`, `Thespian's Stage`, `Hidden Strings`, or `Pore Over the Pages` became usable, and whether that turn was early enough for the matchup.
|
|
|
|
- Mulligans: note whether the kept hand had a real engine path or only selection. Track hands with `Sleight of Hand`, `Consider`, `Flow State`, or `Artist's Talent` that failed to find `Lotus Field`, `Thespian's Stage`, `Expedition Map`, or an untap chain before pressure became lethal.
|
|
|
|
- Mana: record every game where `Lotus Field` sacrificed lands before the hand could recover. Note whether `Spirebluff Canal`, `Steam Vents`, `Riverglide Pathway`, `Island`, `Otawara, Soaring City`, or `Lindblum, Industrial Regency` entered or functioned in a way that changed the combo turn; Card text check required for unfamiliar land details.
|
|
|
|
- Velocity: ask whether `Sleight of Hand`, `Consider`, `Flow State`, `Artist's Talent`, and `Pore Over the Pages` converted into engine pieces or only churned cards. If `Dig Through Time` was cast, record whether it found a decisive card, was delayed by graveyard constraints, or was stranded by visible hate.
|
|
|
|
- Engine execution: record whether `Hidden Strings` and `Pore Over the Pages` generated a continuing turn or stalled after one untap. Mark any turn where a legal `Hidden Strings` line existed but waiting, interaction, or mana constraints made another play better.
|
|
|
|
- Interaction: log whether `Into the Flood Maw`, `Divide by Zero`, and `Otawara, Soaring City` bought a full turn, answered the correct permanent or spell, or were spent on a low-impact target. Record whether holding interaction caused more damage than using it.
|
|
|
|
- Sideboard: record which sideboard cards were actually drawn, cast, or stranded. Track `Anger of the Gods`, sideboard `Divide by Zero`, `Spider-Sense`, `Lier, Disciple of the Drowned`, `Niv-Mizzet, Parun`, `Sphinx of the Final Word`, `Vivi Ornitier`, `Improvisation Capstone`, `Firebending Lesson`, `Iroh's Demonstration`, `Accumulate Wisdom`, `Boomerang Basics`, and `Quantum Riddler`; Card text check required for any sideboard card whose runtime label does not confirm its role.
|
|
|
|
- Closing: record whether the deck won by combo execution, `Wish` access, `Lier, Disciple of the Drowned` recursion, or sideboard threat pressure. Mark games where the engine produced mana and cards but no legal closer appeared.
|
|
|
|
- Role: ask whether the pilot correctly shifted between racing, stabilizing, protecting the engine, and grinding. Flag games where the pilot followed a generic combo plan despite visible pressure, open interaction, or a revealed disruptive card.
|
|
|
|
- Mistakes: identify the first legal action that likely changed the result, including land sequencing, premature `Lotus Field`, unnecessary `Into the Flood Maw`, missed `Divide by Zero`, weak selection choice, or overcommitted engine turn.
|
|
|
|
- Stranded cards: list cards left in hand at loss or game end, especially duplicate `Lotus Field`, excess `Thespian's Stage`, expensive closers, `Wish`, `Flashback`, `Dig Through Time`, or sideboard cards with unclear text.
|
|
|
|
- Overperformers and underperformers: compare card impact to opportunity cost, not just whether a card was cast. Credit cards that changed the clock, enabled a deterministic engine turn, protected the decisive turn, or solved a specific sideboard problem.
