I have a card that from the back side is as usual with the mtg logo but from the front side is completely blank. All white, nothing printed. What is this?

It's a filler card.
Magic cards are printed on sheets. Usually the number of cards in a set and the rarity distribution are chosen in a way that all slots on a sheet are filled but occasionally, especially when printing box sets or preconstructed decks, some slots remain unused. These slots are then occupied with filler cards. Normally these cards are sorted out prior to packaging, but sometimes a few of them slip through.

Is it any rare or not?

I guess it's pretty rare, but not worth much.
