Burning Wish

[kusumoto]

Is there anywhere someone would have compiled a list of good Burning Wish targets?

We all know there are lists like this for Doomsday, but I think it would be nice to find one for the wish.

I guess it would have to include options for storm/loam/control/show and tell?

I think those are the only things that ever use it.

If there isn't such a list, we should make one.

On a related note, what do people think of Devastating Summons as a target for it in control and loam shells? It seems like the best wish target in those decks to actually be able to get something that can win you the game.

This list is not exhaustive, but these are the cards I kept on hand when I played RGbw Survival way back in the day, and the cards RGb/w Loam usually keeps around. I'll start with the more common ones and work from there:

Hull Breach
Shattering Spree
Life from the Loam
Reverent Silence
Pyroclasm
Firespout
Natural Order
Devastating Dreams
Armageddon
Deathmark
Reanimate
Worm Harvest

Ruination
Tsunami
Massacre
Plow Under
Primal Command

And, of course, Goblin War Strike sees play in Charbelcher!

There is also:

Chain Lightning
Overmaster
Flame Slash
Infernal Tutor
Duress (and similar effects)

[Admiral_Arzar]

Typical storm wish targets (minus the ones AngryTroll listed):

Grapeshot
Doomsday
Tendrils of Agony
Empty the Warrens
Ill-Gotten Gains
Diminishing Returns
Meltdown
Pulverize
Eye of Nowhere
Infernal Tutor
Duress
Thoughtseize
Infernal Contract
Cruel Bargain

Some more fringe ones I can think of:

Virtue's Ruin
Perish
Recurring Insight
Balance of Power
Maelstrom Pulse
Vindicate
Reprocess

EDIT: Devastating Summons is certainly an idea. However, it gets wrecked so hard by countermagic that I would be hesitant to play it, even as a wish target. The card is a huge risk in standard, much less in legacy where there's way more free countermagic.

DRAGONSTORM!!! I jest...but it's fun in a casual environment to pull out 4 Bogardan Hellkites and win on the spot.

I've been toying around with a Valakut-Lands! build that relies on Burning Wish to find key portions:

Scapeshift
Treasure Hunt
Mulch
Primal Command

[kusumoto]

If we tried to make a comprehensive list for this would we want to make a new topic or should I edit the OP?

Thoughts?

Here is the complete, comprehensive list:
"Sorcery"

Too bad most of them suck, and won't see constructed play.

I saw an Aggro Loam list in the top 16 of SCG Baltimore running Retribution of the Meek. It's probably used against Progenitus and Emrakul.

Sick against control
