This doesn't work.

Main Deck (40 cards)

Creatures (3)


Sorceries (4)


Instants (7)


Artifacts (4)

Enchantments (8)


Land (14)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I didn't want to make a full deck simply because there are SOOOOO many places you could go with this...

Play Death Wish and select a permanent from your collection, then target it with Radiate. Now you take every permanent in your collection and put it in your hand!

In this particular deck: play Battle of Wits and Hidden Retreat, then Shock. Prevent the damage from Shock, oh, 1,000 times and you win the game at the beginning of your turn.

Deck discussion for This doesn't work.

Its a really great and interesting idea. Unfortunately it doesn't work because Death Wish doesn't target anything. Radiate can only copy a spell which targets a permanent or a spell. Even though you can get permanents with Death Wish, the spell itself doesn't target the cards it retrieves.

Keep thinking though, this could really have been something great.

still a very cool idea. it's a shame that it doesn't work. If it did having 100 DR and a consume spirit in your collection would've been cool too.

since the way death wish is worded, could you stifle just the loss of life part since it is separate from the creature grab part by a period? it would technically be an activated ability of the spell since it has more than one. by retrieving the card (period) activates loss of life (period(counter with stifle)) remove card. that may not be how it works.. but its a thought....if it doesnt work...well it fits in here narf! :-P

lmao. I think it does, but since the Radiate/Wish ombo doesn't work, what does it matter? I was too busy freaking out to notice that the word "target" isn't even CLOSE to being printed on Death Wish.
