Where it came from
Cunning Wish was originally released as part of the Judgment expansion in 2002, but this specific version originates from the 2003 World Championship Decks. These products were unique boxed sets that replicated the precise sixty-card main decks and fifteen-card sideboards used by the top players at the previous year's World Championship tournament, serving as a commemorative snapshot of professional Magic: The Gathering history.
The card itself, illustrated by Arnie Swekel, is a powerful blue instant that allows a player to retrieve a card from outside the game. Within the 2003 World Championship context, it was a staple tool for deck flexibility, reflecting a design philosophy that rewarded versatility and high-level strategy. The World Championship reprints are identifiable by their gold-bordered frames and the signatures of the professional players who piloted them, making them distinct from standard tournament cards.
