{"product_id":"cunning-wish","title":"Cunning Wish (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCunning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e is a three-mana blue instant from \u003cem\u003eJudgment\u003c\/em\u003e (2002), that lets you choose an instant card you own from outside the game (sideboard) – you reveal it and put it into your hand, exiling \u003cem\u003eCunning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e. It’s part of the “Wish cycle” from \u003cem\u003eJudgment \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eBurning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLiving Wish\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDeath Wish\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGolden Wish\u003c\/em\u003e). This card is considered one of the most skill-testing blue spells ever printed, encouraging strategic sideboarding and rewarding format knowledge. At the 2002 World Championship, Carlos Romao’s winning blue-black “\u003cem\u003ePsychatog\u003c\/em\u003e” deck featuring \u003cem\u003eCunning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e was the defining deck of the tournament. A control deck at heart, with lots of card drawing (e.g. Deep Analysis, Fact or Fiction) and countermagic (e.g. \u003cem\u003eCounterspell\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCircular Logic\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMemory Lapse\u003c\/em\u003e). This deck wanted to stall an opponent until it could play a devastating \u003cem\u003eUpheaval\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePsychatog\u003c\/em\u003e on the same turn, finishing the game shortly after. \u003cem\u003eCunning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e is mostly known for being a Legacy combo staple. It’s played in decks like High Tide \/ “Solidarity”, Ug Omnitell and Omni-Show. In these decks, \u003cem\u003eCunning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e functions as a toolbox tutor, letting you access silver-bullet instants (e.g. \u003cem\u003eBrain Freeze, Turnabout, Blue Sun’s Zenith, Flusterstorm, Wipe Away\u003c\/em\u003e) at exactly the right moment. Being instant speed is crucial here, as it can be cast mid-combo or played in response to disruption. In the Premodern format, Cunning Wish is also a widely popular card – played in Mono Blue Storm and Ill-Gotten Gains combo decks and control variants such as Psychatog and Ux Control. \u003cem\u003eCunning Wish\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762018709549,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Cunning_Wish_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126821","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/cunning-wish","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
