I don't think these posts are really needed, but the best play
is to Putrefy one of the dragons in response to their cip ability..

Putrefy one of them at the right time and I believe you can leave him with nothing (not sure). In that situation I'd call a judge and ask if there is a way you can do it, pretty sure they have to tell you....and if not just keep asking "will this work if...".

What Wish is in your hand? Are all of your lands untapped? Does he have any mana untapped?

If the answers are "Living," "all of them," and "no," this is how you make the play.

Ask your opponent which dragon's trigger is going to resolve first. Putrefy that dragon before either trigger resolves. That dragon will die, and its "leaves play" ability will trigger, returning nothing. Then that Dragon's comes into play ability will trigger, removing all his permanents, including the other Dragon, from the game. That dragon's leaves play ability will trigger, also returning nothing (because it was the first Dragon's ability that removed everything) and then the second Dragon's comes into play ability will resolve with no permanents in play to remove. Congrats: your opponent's board is gone, and you have 7 points of damage on the field to win the game.
