You won the game.
But did you actually make the right play?
That's the trap of outcome bias: judging a decision based on the result instead of the process that led to it.
In Commander, bad decisions can still win games. Great decisions can still lose them. Sometimes opponents bail you out. Sometimes variance punishes the correct line.
The problem is that if you only evaluate outcomes, you'll learn the wrong lessons. Risky plays start looking brilliant. Good habits get abandoned after unlucky losses. Focusing on results instead of decision-making can quietly make you a worse player.
What's a game you won despite knowing you made the wrong play?
