Hi everyone,So I am trying to build a Modern legal deck that uses Glittering Wish as the win condition. As you are all well aware, the card has limitations namely it has to be a multicolored card and Glittering Wish is exiled once used.To this end I was thinking of using Riftsweeper to get Glittering Wish back (and hence be able to reuse it) and Painter's Servant to be able to get cards I want.As for mana, I was opting for three routes,- Nettle Sentinel with Favor and Servant to play them easily.- Shaman route with Orochi to change colors.- Ardor Elf, Orochi and Utopia (same as above)I need your help trying to piece the deck together, what other cards would go well here? Please remember I'm aiming for Modern here.Thanks in advance.

First, we need to understand the rules of Glittering Wish and Painter's Servant:In a tournament "outside the game" is your sideboard. Thus Glittering Wish can only fetch cards from your sideboard.While I get what you're trying to do with Painter's Servant, sadly it doesn't work. The "cards that aren't in play" of Painter's ability only refers to the zones "hand", "graveyard", "exile", "library", and I think the "command zone" too. ie; not your sidebaord. So, sadly, you can't use Painter's Servant to allow Glittering Wish to fetch a mono coloured card.Now that that's out of the way, lets move onto making this work.Shuffling Glittering Wish back with Riftsweeper is not a bad idea, but I think I prefer Pull from Eternity to put it into the graveyard. That way you can cast the witch with something like Snapcaster Mage or Goblin Dark-Dwellers. Meaning you get a more immediate use rather than waiting to draw it again.Now, we are limited on what Glittering Wish can fetch from the sideboard, but the up side is we only need to include one of each option, giving you access to variety. The options will depend heavily on what it is you want to achieve, but thankfully you can get almost any effect you want off gold and hybrid cards.As for casting whatever you fetch with the wish, there's two ideal options open to you. Option 1 is at least one of every fetch and one of every shock land. Option 2 is mana dorks that tap for all or multipe colours, ie Birds of Paradise; Noble Hierarch; Bloom Tender; Druid of the Anima; Gemhide Sliver; Manaweft Sliver; Rattleclaw Mystic; Sylvan Caryatid; and / or Utopia Tree. Trace of Abundance in the sideboard can also help with the colour fixing.Paradise Mantle is superior to Karametra's Favor.In the end, whatever Glittering Wish fetches depends on what you want the deck to achieve.

One of my friends plays a WUBRG Control that runs a sideboard of conditional multicolored disruptive spells (Detention Sphere for tokens, Destructive Revelries for affinity, Kitchen Finks for burn, etc.) and uses glittering wishes to filter through those, which has worked pretty well.
This would probably be better placed in the forum section under challenges, it might get more responses.
