Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Burning Wish, newest first.

  • In a sanctioned event, a card that’s “outside the game” is one that’s in your sideboard. In an unsanctioned event, you may choose any card from your collection.
  • You can’t acquire exiled cards because those cards are still in one of the game’s zones.
  • Can’t acquire cards that are phased out.
  • Can’t acquire the Ante cards. They are considered still “in the game” as are cards in the library and the graveyard.
