I love the wish cards, but its near unplayable in cube. But what if every one of the wish cards came with its own wish board of somewhat situational cards you get after a draft that you keep with the cards not being played but you cannot put into your own deck.
One of the people in my cube group did exactly this for the wish cards - it worked perfectly well. Just have a mark of some kind on the front of the sleeve so you can easily sort out the wishboard cards in case they get shuffled into a deck by some effect.

Honestly it's been so long since his cube was in that iteration I can't remember. I think he ran Burning, Cunning, Living, and Glittering, and had like 10 cards for each one?
I woukd be tempted to let people wish for any drafted card not in their deck, just to keep logistics simpler. I ran Hanweir Battlements and a squadron pick with the garrison and it was a pain because of how often I have to dig about for it.
Are your wish cards all red? Do you colour balance them? If you have an uneven spread its leans towards a guild or 3 colour, seems awkward to balance.

Actually I like this idea.
EDIT: I was just thinking, the wish player could potentially go through 100+ cards and could take a long time while. Secondly, doesn't this give a huge advantage to the wish player who gets to see which cards aren;t drafted?

I think you misunderstood. The wish lets you pick a card from their own draft pool that isnt in their deck, not from the cube.
The way you descibed could work but would be pretty time consuming. I wouldnt worry too much about the information end of it personally, its a small bonous in my eyes, not a huge one. Just ask you drafters not to purpose fully gain any extra info because its not in the spirt of the card; depends how much your trust them I guess.
One last simple soloution would be to just let a player name any card they want from rge cube and use the wish to represent it. Most time people wll know wha silver bullet they need and it will cut dow the time it takes to find and not give away if its drafted.

That seems extremely underpowered.
It could be, but it feels like the cleanest soloution so it would be the first thing I tried before I added a whole new 15-20 card expansion to my cube to support 1 card. This is coming from a guy who wanted to add 2-3 Assemblers to his cube (but never did), balancing the cards you add will be a pain.

Which cards worked well for the wishes?
So here's the wishboard my friend used to run - http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/36432 - his cube no longer has the wishes in it, but my guess is you can figure out which ones he ran from this list.

After making the wishboards you could always power the wish cards up or down just by altering their board.
Looks awesome
