Where it came from
Cunning Wish was originally released in the Judgement expansion for Magic: The Gathering in 2002. As a card that allows a player to retrieve a card from outside the game, it became a staple of competitive play, prompting this specific version to be released as part of the 2007 Judge Gift program. This initiative rewards high-level tournament judges with exclusive promotional versions of powerful cards to show appreciation for their service in managing the game's complex rule sets.
The 2007 Judge Gift version of Cunning Wish features new, specialized artwork by Greg Staples. Moving away from the original illustration, Staples utilized a darker, more atmospheric aesthetic that emphasizes the mysterious and strategic nature of the spell. The design was received favorably by collectors and competitive players alike for its unique visual departure from the standard set art and its scarcity as a promotional item restricted to the judge community.
