Permanents aren't always cards, but neither are spells.
> 108.2 When a rule or text on a card refers to a “card,” it means only a Magic card or an object represented by a Magic card.
That's the dumbest thing I've heard. Any object in any zone represented by a card is a card. Cards in the battlefield are called permanents and cards on the stack are called spells, but they don't stop being cards
Spells can be copies. Those aren't represented by Magic cards.
There is a reason they changed the wording of old cards that referred to say "nontoken permanent" over the old wording referring to "card". The concept out "card" is to be moved as far away as possible from spells and permanents
