Quoting from Scott Marshall.
If a player plays Cunning Wish. Is it possible for them to get the Wish
back with Pull from Eternity. The ruling on wishes says that they are
placed in the sideboard does that cause them to become part of it or is
this just an easy way to remember to put the wish back in your deck
after the game?
Cunning Wish 2U
Instant
Choose an instant card you own from outside the game, reveal that card,
and put it into your hand. Remove Cunning Wish from the game.
Pull From Eternity W
Instant
Put target face-up card that's removed from the game into its owner's
graveyard.
First, the rules question - yes, Pull From Eternity can retrieve a Wish
that's been RFGd; there are some effects that remove cards from the
game
*face-down*, but unless that's specified, the default is face up.
Secondly, the not-quite-asked question - Pull From Eternity can NOT
retrieve a card from your sideboard; these cards are not *removed* from
the game, they were never "in" the game. The RFG zone and your
sideboard are both "outside the game", and a card in either location is
(probably) a valid choice for the Wish cards, or Research, or Ring of
Ma'ruf. (I say "probably" because of the type restrictions on some
Wish
cards.)
And now for the policy question - when the Wishes were released, it was
recommended that a "spent" Wish be placed in the sideboard as a
place-holder, so that the sideboard would still have 15 cards. And, as
I've said before (and has been recently quoted here), that's fine in
"ordinary" circumstances, but is not a requirement. (At first, we did
require players to adhere to that, but Mirari quickly made that
futile.)
Even when that policy was strictly enforced, the act of putting the
Wish
into your sideboard did not make it part of your sideboard, nor did it
remove it from the RFG zone
