Delnai said: Sorry, I should have clarified for non-native speakers. Nouns in English come in two types: "countable" and "uncountable". Countable nouns include things like, "card, "creature," or "token," to use some MtG examples. Uncountable nouns include things like "water," "happiness," and "maintenance." (Also "life" and "power" in the way they are used in this game.) Uncountable nouns never have the words "a" or "an" in front of them. To a native speaker it just sounds weird; what is "a water"?
