    So I'm trying to get into Legacy by starting with this deck. Mostly because I already had 4 LEDs. I'm going with Trall's 2 Mox 3 Pyretic list and am building the sideboard. Some questions:

    1) When do you Wish for Diminishing Returns? Let's say you have RRRRUU, 6 storm count, and a Burning Wish in your hand. Do you Wish for Empty to make 16 Goblins and a 2-turn clock, or Diminishing Returns to essentially gamble for the first-turn kill via Belcher or Tendrils?

    2) Has anyone tried 1 Rite of Flame in the sideboard as a Wish target? I'm not sure how much worse -1 Rite +1 Pyretic would make the main deck, but already goldfishing I've gotten 2 hands where a Rite of Flame in the sideboard allows you to get +2 storm count. Once I had 5 mana, Burning Wish, and Empty, and once I had 7 mana and 2 Wishes. (Unfortunately Rite of Flame is the only sorcery ritual.)

    Thanks for the work, Lili, Trall, and others who have contributed. You definitely saved me and others a lot of time trying to find the optimal list.
