What is a card? For me that is purely stylistic and should live in the CSS alone. What does a card mean to a blind user?

This is all very easy when you're in the business of marking up documents. It turns out that the handful of element types defined in HTML are good enough for the vast majority of documents. It's quite rare to need to introduce a new tag. The difficulty starts when you're actually trying to create a "user interface" rather than a document.

For me, cards are usually lists of self contained items (usually summaries). So the cards parent is usually a `<ul>` or `<ol>` and the card them selfs are `<li>` with a single `<article>`, `<aside>`, or `<figure>`.
