Store Game Object Into List For Later Reinstantiation?

I need to be able to store a game object on the scene into a list (destroying the original game object in the process) and then recreate that object from the list later in the game. I would like to ask how to do this exactly within a C# script.

For context, I am making a card game and would like to store a Card game object into a Deck game object's list, including destroying the stray Card, effectively putting the card in the deck.
