Additionally, in regarding to your thought process regarding Tendrils, burning wish fulfills the same role with just one extra step (and thus 3 more cards) and will never be junk. At the worst it can search up more protection, search or accel.
Oh right, I guess Grapeshot is feasible then.

IMHO the clock, number of clicks, and decision fatigue are factors to consider for an event. The more tedious your kill, the more likely you exile the wrong card somewhere (oops Pact isn't open anymore!) or play suboptimally in future rounds. If it's avoidable, it seems better to devote mental energy to interacting with the opponent rather than just going through the sequences for a regular kill. That's why I avoid LB.

Yeah I agree with you that Burning Wish into Tendrils is better than maindeck Tendrils and allows more flexibility to find answers. Both Tendrils and Grapeshot could be in the Wishboard then, along with maybe other tools. At that point, Tendrils could be unnecessary.
