Description
Proposal, identified as card number 3 in the 1993 Celebration Cards set, stands as a distinctive entry in Magic: The Gathering history. Designed by Quinton Hoover, this rare white sorcery card introduces a complex mechanical interaction that diverges significantly from standard win conditions. The card allows one player to propose marriage to another, creating a shared victory state where libraries and graveyards are mixed into a single deck. Collectors value this card for its thematic novelty and its place within the niche Celebration Cards subset.
