Posted: 12 Aug 2011, 15:57In Magarena a card has a simple id, like card number in library.
A permanent has a generated unique id and a reference to the card it represents.
So card and permanent id are two separate things.
To check if a permanent is still valid, like for targeting, the controller's permanent set is checked if it stills contains that permanent, using instance or id.
