U/R Standstill - An alternative approach using Cunning Wish

For the most part, I decided to play the standard primer on this sight for landstill and got only mediocre results against my metagame, which is heavy in welder mud, eba, taiga, and above all - hulk variants and dragon. At this point, I decided to do some replanning on what is available in the deck and changed the design slightly to accomodate wishes after switching the Fact or Fiction to the Sideboard, as well as adding back in 2 extra Lightning Bolt and making room for 2 Cunning Wish, which seems to be a good answer to my metagame, currently a proxy 10 t1 area. This post is not designed to brag, despite my usually winning second to either Hulk or Welder mud, but I would like to get peoples opinions on if wishes are plausible in an already great deck

Locked.
We really need more than a list of a couple of changes to a netdeck when you start a thread. More discussion of the reasons why you made the changes and what you expect to gain from it are essential.
