When a rule or text on a card refers to a "card," it means a _Magic_ card with a _Magic_ card front and a _Magic_ card back. This includes both traditional _Magic_ cards, which measure approximately 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) by 3.5 inches (8.8 cm) and have a "Deckmaster" back, and nontraditional _Magic_ cards, which are oversized and have different backs. Tokens aren't considered cards -- even a card that represents a token isn't considered a card for rules purposes.
