Played this at a MtG store. Borrowed Ancestral Recall from storeowner and used it. True story.

What happens if I wish for a counter, and then counter the wish?

You can't counter the wish with a counter you wished for. You'd only get the counter as part of its resolution.

Pity this doesn't work with exiled cards anymore.
When the "Exile Zone" was still the "Removed from the Game-Zone", this zone was considered 'outside from the game', so you could get instants that exiled themselves upon use. Like Cunning Wish! :P
Or a card that you exiled with Force of Will.
@DarthParallax: Sadly there won't be any hammer time, even MC Hammer can cast this hammer only during the main phase since it's a sorcery and not an instant.
@thisisnotmyname: How are you supposed to do that? You'd either have to counter with something that you don't have in your hand yet or to target something that isn't on the stack anymore! Oo

How might this work with EDH? I understand that I can't build a EDH deck with cards out side my Generals colors, but could I use this to get a card that was outside my normal colors if I so chose? And if so. How should I abuse this?

It doesn't specify that the card has to be a Magic the Gathering card, just an instant card. So i did a quick search, but i couldn't find any card games with 'instant' as a part of their mechanics. Except for maybe some WoW stuff, but I didn't care to look that far into it. Anyone know of any other 'instant' card we could pull using this?

@Yozuk
Wish spells don't work in EDH, according to the official rules for that format. Wishes can only be used if sideboards are being used, and can only fetch cards from the sideboard, and from what I gather the rules for the sideboard are the same as for the main deck.
@BastianQoU
According to the Comprehensive Rules, "When a rule or text on a card refers to a "card," it means only a _Magic_ card. Most _Magic_ games use only traditional _Magic_ cards, which measure approximately 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) by 3.5 inches (8.8 cm)." (CR 108.2)

I find it amusing that the flavor text on the Judgement version of this card almost directly contradicts the Judge Promo version of the card. "The foolish wish for what they desire. The cunning wish for what they require."

I noticed that this isn't restricted. That poses *Very* interesting possibilities in my mind. Main deck your needed card, but leave one in sideboard/in your box (if casual.) This is an instant speed card-neutral tutor then for that card or possibly other answers in your deck.
