My very second Magic rare. After that booster, I though all Magic cards were like this.

This Wish is also instant speed, which would allow you to get a counter to counter just in time, or end of opponent's turn instant draw cards, or just simply the combo piece you'll need for next turn.

Interesting, it's the ultimate instant tutor. Of course, you need to own the card. I wonder if you could end up with more than 4 of a card with this? If it were for , rather than , it would be much more interesting, since you could put it on a stick with Isochron Scepter. Still, a very fun idea. Grabbing super-specific strategy counters is pretty nasty stuff, but there's not much offensively that you could do from what I know. Worth it for the flavor alone, and the priceless expression when your opponent learns that it isn't, in fact, an unhinged card.

This thing wins games in my blue/green deck. I just stuff a sideboard full of excellent instants.
Also, fetching a Mirrorweave and turning everything into Rhox is just wrong. This card is easily a 5/5.

What happens if I wish for a counter, and then counter the wish?

You can't counter the wish with a counter you wished for. You'd only get the counter as part of its resolution.

Pity this doesn't work with exiled cards anymore. When the "Exile Zone" was still the "Removed from the Game-Zone", this zone was considered 'outside from the game', so you could get instants that exiled themselves upon use. Like Cunning Wish! :P Or a card that you exiled with Force of Will.
@DarthParallax: Sadly there won't be any hammer time, even MC Hammer can cast this hammer only during the main phase since it's a sorcery and not an instant.
@thisisnotmyname: How are you supposed to do that? You'd either have to counter with something that you don't have in your hand yet or to target something that isn't on the stack anymore! Oo

Played this at a MtG store. Borrowed Ancestral Recall from storeowner and used it. True story.

How might this work with EDH? I understand that I can't build a EDH deck with cards out side my Generals colors, but could I use this to get a card that was outside my normal colors if I so chose? And if so. How should I abuse this?

It doesn't specify that the card has to be a Magic the Gathering card, just an instant card. So i did a quick search, but i couldn't find any card games with 'instant' as a part of their mechanics. Except for maybe some WoW stuff, but I didn't care to look that far into it. Anyone know of any other 'instant' card we could pull using this?

@Yozuk Wish spells don't work in EDH, according to the official rules for that format. Wishes can only be used if sideboards are being used, and can only fetch cards from the sideboard, and from what I gather the rules for the sideboard are the same as for the main deck.
@BastianQoU According to the Comprehensive Rules, "When a rule or text on a card refers to a "card," it means only a _Magic_ card. Most _Magic_ games use only traditional _Magic_ cards, which measure approximately 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) by 3.5 inches (8.8 cm)." (CR 108.2)
I find it amusing that the flavor text on the Judgement version of this card almost directly contradicts the Judge Promo version of the card. "The foolish wish for what they desire. The cunning wish for what they require."

I like the ruling, *If you can't find anything*. "Dude, I searched for hours before I realized I don't own any other magic cards."

I noticed that this isn't restricted. That poses *Very* interesting possibilities in my mind. Main deck your needed card, but leave one in sideboard/in your box (if casual.) This is an instant speed card-neutral tutor then for that card or possibly other answers in your deck.

I will break the minds of my opponents and imprint this on my Panoptic Mirror! And that kids, is how you begin to master The Awesome.

"Reveal that card" Does that mean all other Magic cards you own are technically a hidden zone? So if your opponent is playing with a deck you own, they aren't allowed to look at any of the cards. *LOGIC* @Yozuk You probably can't, but EDH is a casual format. Convince your friends you can. And abuse this by putting Azor's Elocutors in a Vorel of the Hull Clade EDH deck.

My Blue/Green deck sideboard consists of: Moment's Peace, Evacuation, Hurkyl's Recall (so evil), Fracturing Gust, Snakeform, Vitalizing Wind, Reclaim, Twincast, Turnabout, Pact of Negation, Spectral Shift, Mirrorweave, Voidslime, Mystical Tutor, and Chord of Calling.
One of the favorite things that I love to do is Cunning Wish at the end of my opponent's turn for Mystical Tutor and search for something like Time Stretch or Rite of Replication and put it on top.
Also, fetching a Mirrorweave and turning everything into Rhox is just wrong. This card is easily a 5/5.

Just add the fact that you are playing blue...
Does that mean all other Magic cards you own are technically a hidden zone?
