The rarest card of all is the 1996 World Champion. This card was given out to the winner of Worlds in 1996, and all other copies of it, plus the printing plates, were ceremonially destroyed. The winner of that tournament was Australia's Tom Chanpheng, who, at last word, still has the card at his home in a screwdown plastic case.
Chanpheng won the title playing a White Weenie deck:
Main Deck
60 cards:
1 Kjeldoran Outpost
4 Mishra's Factory
15 Plains
4 Strip Mine
24 lands
4 Order of Leitbur
4 Order of the White Shield

4 Savannah Lions
2 Serra Angel
4 White Knight
20 creatures 1 Armageddon
1 Balance
4 Disenchant
1 Land Tax
1 Lodestone Bauble
1 Reinforcements
1 Reprisal
1 Sleight of Mind
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Zuran Orb
16 other spells
Sideboard
2 Arenson's Aura
1 Black Vise
4 Divine Offering
1 Energy Storm
1 Exile
1 Kjeldoran Outpost
1 Reprisal
2 Serrated Arrows
1 Sleight of Mind
1 Spirit Link
15 sideboard cards
The funny thing about Chanpheng's deck was that it contained a Sleight of Mind with no way to cast it. He misregistered his deck, forgetting the Adarkar Wastes. DCI rules forced him to fill out his empty slots with basic Plains, and so the Sleight of Mind was "stranded." It didn't matter, however, as he went on to win the Championship anyway.

I have been playing MTG for years now. I guess Tom made an impression on me that until now, i only construct white weenie decks.
