While Echo Mage is at level 3, you can only copy it once, so you cast Burning Wish and get another copy of the spell from the mage. If the Mage was level 4, it would make 2 copies.

Since the M10 rule changes, you can no longer grab 'exiled' cards with wishes like you could back when they were just 'removed from game'.

Also, since the original Burning Wish hasn't resolved yet, it is not in the exile zone, and therefor, not a potential target of the copied Burning Wish anyway because it is still on the stack.

I think this answers the original question.

Ok. So you cant grab a second card, letting that one be removed? Also, say you have 4 volcanic hammers in your library. Can you burning wish and pull more from outside the game into your hand?

Q1) If you copy a Burning Wish (via Echo Mage level 2-3, Fork, Twincast, etc) you will grab 2 cards. You cannot grab the original Burning Wish that was played because it is still on the stack and in the game. Also, if you had played a separate Burning Wish, say the turn before, you cannot grab that Burning Wish because Wishes can only grab cards not in the game. The exile zone is technically part of the game now per the M10 rules changes.

Q2) Not in a tournament. Wishes now are specifically used to grab cards from your sideboard. Since you cannot have more than 4 of a card in your deck AND sideboard, you cannot grab a 5th Hammer because that would make your deck illegal for tournament play. In casual play, you COULD do it if your opponent isn't a rules lawyer.

Hope this clears it up
