The goal of this deck is a typical rock with a twist. The Twist being the wishes. They're used to fix the mana base, pull out a finisher, or get kill/disruption from the board.


I haven't had too much time to play it as there isn't a very big legacy scene where i live.

Any advice/Constructive criticism would be much appreciated.

One of my favorite parts of this deck is the land base.
There are so many ways to fix your mana, including the wishes there are :
23 ways to get green
17 ways to get white
16 ways to get black
14 ways to get red

I count 20 (Living Wish doesn't count because it requires a green to play).

The only suggestion I have off the top of my head is -1 Duress +1 Tarmogoyf.

Oh yeah, and what about Glittering Wish. It has limited targets (multicolored only) but it can get creatures or answers (vindicate? :D).

A Savannah and a Bayou seems redundant in the board, if you're casting Wish you have green so why not just make that land be a Scrubland thus giving you access to W/B whichever you needed, then you have a spot in the board.

That just jumped out at me idk.


Your wishboard in general seems sort of underwhelming, no offense, but why not stuff like Yixlid Jailor, Gaddock Teeg, Haunting Echoes, Tsunami, etc? Like cards that if you wish for them and resolve them you made a game altering play? Wishing for like Gerrard's Verdict you spend 4 mana to get them to discard the two worst cards in their hand, and probably you gain 3 life.
