Reflection Template For Selesnya Angels
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 whether the game was decided by early acceleration, life-total buffering, a flying clock, disruption, mana failure, or the opponent ignoring life totals. Record whether Bishop of Wings, Giada, Font of Hope, Righteous Valkyrie, or Resplendent Angel actually changed the turn count.
-
Mulligans: Review each opener for green access, white access, early action, and a payoff. Flag hands that kept only Elvish Mystic or Llanowar Elves without a meaningful follow-up, and flag hands that kept multiple Angels without enough mana to cast them on time.
-
Mana: Note every turn where Abandoned Air Temple, Hushwood Verge, Multiversal Passage, Razorverge Thicket, Temple Garden, Plains, or Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire constrained a legal play. Card text check required for any conclusion that depends on Abandoned Air Temple, Hushwood Verge, or Multiversal Passage beyond rules-engine output.
-
Velocity: Count whether Collected Company and Kayla's Reconstruction were cast in windows that added pressure, rebuilt after removal, or merely spent mana after the game was already slipping. Track misses, weak hits, and whether holding Collected Company changed combat or priority decisions.
-
Engine performance: Record whether Bishop of Wings plus Angel deployment bought enough time, whether Giada, Font of Hope counters made attacks or blocks decisive, and whether Righteous Valkyrie reached a board state where its life-threshold pressure mattered.
-
Removal: Review every Skyclave Apparition and Portable Hole target by visible impact, not by card reputation. The key question is whether the removal hit a racing permanent, combo enabler, blocker, graveyard piece, mana source, or low-impact object.
-
Sideboard: Check whether Archon of Emeria constrained spell-chain or control turns, whether Unlicensed Hearse attacked visible graveyard resources at the right time, whether Portable Hole had legal high-impact targets, and whether Enduring Innocence improved attrition games. Card text check required for Enduring Innocence lines not explicit in engine state.
-
Closing: Identify turns where the deck gained life but failed to shorten the clock. Note missed attacks, over-defensive blocks, delayed Resplendent Angel pressure, and Kayla's Reconstruction lines that should have converted mana into lethal or near-lethal board presence.
-
Role: Record whether the pilot correctly became the beatdown against combo, the stabilizer against aggro, and the resilient threat deck against removal-heavy midrange. Flag games where sideboard cards diluted the Angel count or where Angels were overcommitted into obvious public-risk windows.
-
Mistakes: Mark illegal-action assumptions, hidden-card assumptions, missed legal attacks, missed life-threshold checks, premature Collected Company, slow Kayla's Reconstruction, and any pass where visible mana and legal actions suggested a stronger use of priority.
-
Stranded cards: Track copies of Collected Company, Kayla's Reconstruction, Skyclave Apparition, Portable Hole, Archon of Emeria, Unlicensed Hearse, and Enduring Innocence that remained unusable because of mana, missing targets, timing, or role mismatch.
-
Overperformers and underperformers: Compare actual game impact for Bishop of Wings, Giada, Font of Hope, Righteous Valkyrie, Resplendent Angel, Inspiring Overseer, Collected Company, Kayla's Reconstruction, Skyclave Apparition, Archon of Emeria, Portable Hole, Unlicensed Hearse, and Enduring Innocence against the matchup role they were meant to serve.
