Coveted Prize
Sorcery
This spell costs 
less to cast for each creature in your party. (Your party consists of up to one each of Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard.)
Search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle. If you have a full party, you may cast a spell with mana value 4 or less from your hand without paying its mana cost.

Coveted Prize is a five-mana tutor-to-hand that costs nothing if you control a full party — Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, and Wizard — making it a free Demonic Tutor in the right shell. The Destined Warrior and Spellweaver Helix builds that care about stacking creature types will regularly cast this for zero, which is the entire reason it exists.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
The Destined Warrior
The Destined Warrior runs Coveted Prize in nearly 79% of its decks because the commander is built to assemble a full party, and a free tutor at that point fetches exactly the threat or combo piece needed to close the game.
Burakos, Party Leader // Folk Hero
Burakos, Party Leader // Folk Hero rewards fielding all four party creature types with card draw and value, so Coveted Prize slots in as the payoff tutor — once Folk Hero has done its job filling the board, Prize grabs whatever is missing from the win.
Nalia de'Arnise
Nalia de'Arnise cares about having Rogues and other creature types in your upper deck, and Coveted Prize shows up in 59% of her lists because a full-party board is a natural byproduct of her strategy — free tutors are never unwelcome.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Coveted Prize is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's essentially a Commander card. In non-rotating formats like Legacy and Modern, five mana for a conditional tutor competes with Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Chord of Calling — all faster and unconditional — so Coveted Prize rarely sees play outside of party-themed brews. Commander is where the cost reduction becomes trivially easy to achieve: a 100-card singleton format incentivizes tribal and multitype builds, and a free tutor at instant speed (it's a sorcery, but zero mana is still zero mana) is a legitimate engine piece. In Oathbreaker it's similarly situational, dependent entirely on whether your signature spell shell supports full party assembly.

Price Context
Current price
$0.55 bulk tier
At $0.55, Coveted Prize sits firmly in bulk territory, which makes sense for a card whose power is highly conditional on commander format and creature-type synergy. It's unlikely to appreciate unless a new pushed party commander pushes the archetype into the spotlight.
