In Magic: The Gathering, the word card always refers to a Magic card with a Magic card front and a Magic card back, or to double-faced cards. Tournament-legal cards are 2.5 x 3.5 inches and weigh 0.064 ounces. [1] Tokens are never considered cards, even if cards are used to represent them.
A card is only referred to as a "card" by game rules or effects when in a player's hand, library, or graveyard, or in exile. When a card has been cast and is on the stack waiting to resolve, the game refers to it as a "spell." When a card is on the battlefield, the game refers to it as a "permanent," or simply by its type or subtype.
