Oh my...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING THIS CARD IS BANNED IN LEGACY AND RESTRICTED IN VINTAGE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! AND ITS LEGAL IN HISTORIC?!
well... it could be one of the 7 that will be banned in historic....
but, I don't really think it would be very good in historic, there are no rituals and stuff to make a large storm count before casting this.
I doubt it will be feasible in the current historic cardpool

I feel the same but going on the opposite direction, as the decks that can win playing Mind's Desire don't need to play it to win. We do have Paradox Engine and Emry, Lurker of the Loch loops for the Mana/Storm Count to break it completely.
While I could be proven wrong, I doubt Mind's Desire is going to break Historic, unless somebody discovers a weird loop bouncing Ornithopter or Mox Amber, it's not going to do much. Mind's Desire decks relied on a critical mass of fast mana (rituals) or mass untap effects to increase their storm count and go off, all of which are missing in Historic, on the other hand, maaybe Aetherworks Marvel decks could be adapted into Mind's Desire decks,but I'm not sure, if I'm not mistaken, Mind's Desire decks usually aimed at a Storm count of around 6 before trying to go off and I can't see that happening faster than T4/T5 Ulamog.
I kinda want to play this alongside Tendrils (and maybe Weather the Storm) in a Bolas' Citadel deck. The fact that Mind's Desire shuffles your deck in between each copy is also neat with Citadel because you can cast any instant-speed spells that happen to be on top of your deck between the resolution of the copies.
So for me, my next thought is "what are the best ways to find your Citadel and get it onto the battlefield ASAP," because with the lifegain off of Tendrils and Weather, plus the card advantage of Desire, you could have a combo, that, while not deterministic, has a pretty low fail rate. Hell, you could probably even run some number of MDFC lands to reduce whiffing on lands off the top even more.

I think you're on to something here...you may have just discovered the Sultai Desire archetype.

Historic doesn't have the problem of vintage and legacy. It isn't banned for power. It's banned for wasting an absurd amount of time in paper magic. You have to shuffle for every copy that resolves and you have to give it a really good shuffle to make sure it's properly randomized. In digital, a proper shuffle is what? One second? It was simply a badly templated card.
In paper play it is legal to shortcut Mind's Desire (and Dragonstorm) for that matter by skipping the required shuffles in between resolving storm copies. Note that this is only acceptable if no one is attempting to take actions to modify the deck in question between copies resolving. If you cast Mind's Desire and get 6 extra copies, assuming both you and your opponent pass priority until all the copies resolve, you only need to randomize the deck at the beginning. This is because taking the top 7 cards out of a fully randomized deck is the same as taking the top card 7 times, but re-randomizing in between, because you're always pulling the top card from a deck that has an unknown order.
Now, anything that may happen to care about the number of times the deck was shuffled will notice all the skipped shuffles, but in most all cases, you can resolve a Mind's Desire pulling cards one-by-one without reshuffles.

Yes, this one is legal in Historic, but not Brawl. Have fun out there.

thanks when I saw natural order I knew that had to be the last one (especially) with quite a few green creatures you can fetch with it.
