Runs three cards I wanna play: Glittering Wish, Bring to Light, and Gifts Ungiven.

An amalgamation of the Gifts archetype, with changes made by looking at Glittering Wish decks.

Over a year later, I have finally built said deck. A lot of fun to play with, and gets its fair share of wins in store tournaments. Deck may be outdated as it is a year old, looking for advice.

Things Maybe Lacking:

• Nothing feels worse than Glittering Wishing for a Slaughter Games against Ad Nauseam, only to have it Thoughtseized on their following turn. I have recursion in the form of Snapcaster Mage, Eternal Witness, and Jace, Telepath Unbound  , but they are either mana-expensive, finky, or otherwise one-ofs. Maybe a good graveyard-recursion wishboard target?

• Aggro is 50/50. We win the long game if we make it, but we have to survive the first few turns, get down a wrath, then stem the bleeding with Thragtusk or Baneslayer Angel. Turn two wish for Firespout is powerful, as is turn two Sylvan Caryatid with a wrath in hand.

Other combo considerations:

• Scapeshift : Would love to add as a one of, as you can get it with Bring to Light. It would require adding too many mountains in the decks current form. What if I ran Prismatic Omen? How do I retrieve it from my deck if I draw the Scapeshift and/or Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and wanted to go down that route? Maybe I just need the Mountains in the deck. What about a gifts package? Bring to Light, Prismatic Omen, Eternal Witness, Glittering Wish? Can also go down a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo too, depending what they give you.

• Madcap Experiment/Platinum Emperion: Can Bring to Light for it. The only other Artifact in the deck is a one-of Spellskite, so it wouldn't be too big a change to get this working. The question would be how do I add it whilst keeping the early game plays. Maybe a sideboard combo? Might have to take out Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Iona, Shield of Emeria for it, but which matchup would I prefer it in? Against burn? Game one they see no Artifacts, bring it in game two and take them completely by surprise, take it out again game three. Works as an alternate to the Gifts/Iona line, giving you multiple outs.

• Wargate: Like this card, would love to add it, currently don't see a need for it though.
