Object

Object is a rules term, representing a 'single object'.

Details

Although a game of Duel Masters is played using cards, not all objects in the game are represented by a single card.

For example, an evolution creature is treated as a "creature", but also as "multiple cards". However, it is clearly distinguished from being just a single card due to the evolution source card.

Link

Link is a keyword action that can attach specific cards to each other side by side and treating them as a singular object.

This can appear on God creatures (and God Nova / God Nova OMG) as well as Psychic and Dragheart cells.

Other

In zones where cards aren't treated a singular object, one card is synonymous with one object.

This applies to your hand, deck, mana zone, graveyard and hyperspatial zone.

• Except when an unopened pack is moved to those zones.

Super Phantom Lion's Flame
Fire / Spell / 4
Shield trigger (When this spell is put into your hand from your shield zone, you may cast it immediately for no cost.) ■ Choose one of your opponents cards in the battle zone that costs 4 or less. If its a creature, destroy it. Otherwise, put it into its owner's graveyard.

Destroy refers to "put a creature object in the battle zone into the graveyard", so if its a creature, its not a "card".

As it refers to creatures, even if you add Phoenix to a cardtype by Universe Lapia, the card wont be counted.
