Coveted Prize

Description

Coveted Prize is a black Sorcery card from the 2020 Magic Online Promos set, identified by card number 83724 and illustrated by Lie Setiawan. This release is printed as a rare foil, offering collectors a distinct visual finish compared to the standard non-foil versions found in other print runs. The card requires a mana cost of {4}{B} to cast, positioning it as a mid-to-late game spell that demands strategic resource management. The card’s mechanics revolve around the "party" concept, a system where a player’s team can include up to one Cleric, one Rogue, one Warrior, and one Wizard. When casting Coveted Prize, the spell’s cost is reduced by {1} for each creature belonging to the party that is currently in play. This discount structure makes the card increasingly efficient as the party fills up. Once the spell resolves, the player searches their library for any card, places it into their hand, and shuffles the library. This search ability provides flexibility in hand management and deck construction. A unique secondary effect triggers if the player controls a full party of four different creature types. In this scenario, the player may cast a spell with a mana value of 4 or less from their hand without paying its mana cost. This clause transforms Coveted Prize from a simple search tool into a potent engine for casting additional spells, rewarding players who build diverse decks around the party archetype. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, this promo card represents a specific era of gameplay innovation and design philosophy. The combination of the foil treatment and the specific promo status makes it a notable piece for enthusiasts tracking the history of Magic Online promotions and party-themed mechanics.
