Permanent

A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. 
==Description==
A card or token stops being a permanent as it’s moved to another zone by an effect or rule. The term “permanent card” is used to refer to a card that could be put onto the battlefield. 
Permanents are typically at least one (and possibly more) of the following:
*Artifact
*Battle
*Creature
*Enchantment
*Land
*Planeswalker
A permanent need not necessarily be one of the above types. If a permanent somehow loses all of its types, it is still a permanent.
==Rules==
===Permanent card===
===Permanent spell===
==Nontoken permanent==
A nontoken permanent is every sort of permanent, except a token.
==Non-permanents==
Sorceries, instants, triggered abilities and activated abilities which can never enter the battlefield are often called non-permanents.
However some objects like emblems and counters are never considered permanents, even if they are on the battlefield.
The players themselves are also not a permanent.
