This one is probably the hardest riddle yet.

Ok here are the hints gathered from comments on this thread:

The card has less than 1 printed copy. Therefore the card is from a computer game, specificaly magic online. It is not an avatar/vanguard, it is a card, ilegal in tournament play.

1996 World Champion. Only one ever made, and it's in a trophy so it's unusable.

EDIT: Here's the card's text:

1996 World Champion WUBRG

Summon Legend

Cannot be the target of spells or effects.

World Champion has power and toughness each equal to the life total of target opponent.

0: Discard your hand to search your library for 1996 world champion and reveal it to all players. Shuffle your library and put 1996 World Champion on top of it. Use this ability only at the beginning of your upkeep and only if 1996 World Champion it in your library.

It takes great sacrifice to make it to the top.

(power and toughness is star/star, which shows up as an italicized slash.)

still not it :) but you are the closest so far. BTW you guys had an extra clue ever since Proposal turned out not to be true. If cards like proposal and 1996 world champion, who have only one printed copy, aren't the least printed card, it must be a card with less than one printed copy. – rif-raf Nov 8 at 10:18

There were exactly nine copies of genuine 'Proposal' ever made(on a 3x3 sheet) The only truly unique cards in existence are the aforementioned world champion, and the famed Shichifukujin Dragon. Go to http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr163 to see the story of each.

[[Shichifukujin Dragon]]

It's the blue Hurricane ofcourse! The one that was printed in Revised, but recalled because the Hurricanes in were blue. Only like 5 or 6 cards survived. There's also the 'green' Serendib Efreet misprint, but I don't know what edition it's from.

Notice how the mana symbols are actually the right ones? So you can't even play them in the other colours.

I would bet it's Proposal. It even doesn't appear in Gatherer :)

[Proposal]

Though it's a bit disturbing this card "allows" Richard to propose. What, he couldn't propose unless allowed to? :) – ripper234 Nov 6 at 10:13
I knew this would be people's first answer but it is not the correct one :) – rif-raf Nov 6 at 10:25
Are you sure? How many copies of Proposal did Richard have printed? – ripper234 Nov 7 at 12:51
probably one, but the answer to my riddle, is a non-printed magic card. Nethertheless you could still use it, though not in tournaments, and I am not talking about a proxy. – rif-raf Nov 9 at 11:03
Something from a computer game? – ripper234 Nov 9 at 12:48

It looks like we don't have many online players in this site at the moment so I'll just answer this slightly unfair riddle myself. I do think that this thread was very interesting though, because It revealed ablot of interesting miscelenous magic trivia.

The card is Gleemox, an online card that was given to players as rewards. For example there was very recently a tournement between Wizards employees and magic community influantial people. It was basicaly like an online Inventational tournement with 4 diffrent formats. If the community would win, anyone who post their name on the forum thread of the tournament would get a free Momir Basic tournement, one huge tournement for all of them. If the comapny won each of these people would get a Gleemox.
