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 (6.35 x 8.89 cm) and weigh 0.064 ounces (1.814 grams). [1] Nonfoil cards are approximately 0.012 inches (0.305 mm) thick.
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. Tokens are never considered cards, even if cards are used to represent them. 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.

Parts of a card
On a card, several elements can be distinguished. [2] [3]

 1: name; 2: mana cost; 3: illustration; 4: type line; 5: subtypes; 6: expansion/set symbol; 7: text box for rules text and/or flavor text; 8: illustrator; 9: loyalty; 10: other, sub-text box information (including copyright information and collector's number).

Marked cards
Some players and collectors have their cards signed by artists, written on by celebrities, drawn on, or otherwise "embellished". In tournaments it is always the head judge's call as to whether a card is "disruptively" altered. Cards with just signature on them are almost universally acceptable; the fuzziness starts when the whole text box is covered or if the art is obscured too much. Even if the card name is readable, altered cards can be ruled illegal if they seem deceptive to your opponent from a distance. [4]
Counterfeits
Illegal counterfeit boxes of Magic as well as counterfeit single cards have been produced and distributed. Most counterfeits are easily distinguishable as fakes by a different color, gloss coating or texture. [5] Wizards of the Coast takes legal action, when appropiate. [6]
