A card like Burning Wish tells you to choose a sorcery card from outside the game. So what&#8217;s outside of the game then?<\/p>\n<p>When the Wishes were first printed, there were essentially two places a Wish could acquire a card from in tournament Magic. You could acquire a card from your sideboard, or you could acquire a card that&#8217;s been &#8220;removed from the game&#8221;. However, when the Magic 2010 rules changes came about, it changed the &#8220;removed from the game&#8221; zone to the &#8220;exile&#8221; zone. Since the exile zone is a zone in the game, those cards aren\u2019t outside of the game, so you can no longer Wish for those cards (and many argued that &#8220;removed from the game&#8221; was never truly &#8220;outside the game&#8221; anyway).<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re in a tournament and you&#8217;re resolving a Burning Wish, you can only get a card from your sideboard; you can no longer get a card that&#8217;s been exiled or removed from the game. Of course, if you&#8217;re playing casually, you probably don&#8217;t have a sideboard, and you choose any card in your collection. Some groups may let you have a &#8220;wish board&#8221; for just this purpose, while others may let you search for any card you can access at the moment that isn&#8217;t in your deck.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by Nathan Long<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you But what can you Wish for in Magic?
