To be '''removed from play''' (also called ''RFG'' or ''removed from game'') is a term used to describe when a card is removed from the [[Duel]] by another card's effect. Once a card is removed this way, it cannot re-enter the current duel, except by a card that specifically allows it, such as "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]".

'''Banish''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|除|じょ}}{{Ruby|外|がい}} ''Jogai'', lit. "exclude"), known as '''remove from play''' prior to [[Problem-Solving Card Text]], is a term used to describe the act of making a card banished, causing the card to leave its current location. Cards can only be banished by a card that uses the word "Banish".
  
−
Originally, there were not many cards which could remove other cards from play, with some of the first being "[[Nobleman of Crossout]]" and "[[Nobleman of Extermination]]". However, over time, removal has become a popular theme, with several cards to go with it ([[Chaos]] and [[Different Dimension (D.D.) Deck|D.D. (Different Dimension)]] cards, for example.) And, in turn, more cards were created to bring them back, such as "[[D.D.M. - Different Dimension Master]]", "[[Dimension Fusion]]", "[[Dimension Explosion]]" and "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]".

Removal is good for breaking strategies, especially when combined with a card like "[[Fiber Jar]]", which reunites every player's [[hand]], [[Main Deck|Deck]], Field Contents, and [[Graveyard]], into a new Deck, but doesn't combine cards removed from play. Combined with monsters like "[[Gren Maju Da Eiza]]", "[[Golden Homunculus]]" or any in the "[[Helios - The Primordial Sun]]" series can give a player some of the highest attack powers in the game.
+
==Mechanics==
 +
Because banishing a card causes it to leave its current location, banishing a card on the field causes it to [[leaves the field|leave the field]]. Consequently, if a [[Monster Token]] is banished face-up, it is simply removed from the game rather than placed with the other banished cards.
  
−
Since currently, many decks rely on the Graveyard, Decks that rely on the effects of "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]" and "[[Banisher of the Radiance]]", along with "[[D.D. Survivor]]" have grown in power. Being able to shut down an opponents Graveyard, plus having an 1800 [[ATK]] monster in Survivor that keeps returning itself every time it's removed from play while face-up for as long as the removal card is active, have shown themselves to be powerful decks.
+
Banished cards cannot be [[destroy]]ed. [[Return]]ing a banished card to the [[Graveyard]] is not considered to be [[send]]ing that card to the Graveyard, and can be done even if a card like "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" is active.
  
−
The [[Removed from Play Zone]] can be placed anywhere on the table, as it has no actual place in the game. However, most typically it is placed above or to the right of the [[Graveyard Zone]], placed face down beneath the Graveyard, or just under the field (right in front of the player).
+
===Banished face-down===
 +
By default, cards are banished [[face-up]], with these cards being [[public knowledge]]. However, several cards can [[Banishes face-down|banish cards face-down]] (such as "[[Ghostrick Skeleton]]" and "[[Pot of Desires]]"); a card that is banished face-down is not public knowledge and can thus only be looked at by its [[possess]]or. A card that is banished face-down cannot be affected by cards that specify properties of the banished card, other than the card that banished it. (e.g. "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" cannot return face-down banished ''monsters'' to the GY, but "[[Virtual World Hime - Nyannyan]]" can shuffle a face-down banished ''card'' to the Deck.) The number of banished cards (including face-down banished cards) is public knowledge.

[[Monster Token]]s cannot be banished face-down.

Card effects can temporarily banish cards until a later point in time, at which point the card returns to its original location. Returning a monster to the field from temporary banishment does not count as a Special Summon.
 +
 
 +
If a card [[control]]led by a player that is not its [[owner]] is temporarily banished by a card like "[[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]]", while banished it will be in the [[possession]] of its [[owner]], but when it returns to the [[field]] it will return to the side of the field of the player that controlled it when it was banished. If its owner does not have an unoccupied [[Zone]] on the field to return it to, the card is instead sent to the Graveyard. Furthermore, if the effect that gave temporary control of that card to the opponent is no longer active, it will then return to the original owner.<ref>{{cite book  |author=Konami  |title=Yu-Gi-Oh!

 +
Banished cards are not considered to be placed in any actual location, and as such there was no noun used to refer to their placement, or them as whole, in the ''TCG'' until ''[[Phantom Nightmare]]'', where "your banishment" was first used to refer to "cards in your possession that are banished" (although only on some cards). A somewhat similar change was introduced to the ''OCG'' a few sets earlier in ''[[Duelist Nexus]]'', which changed all references to "excluded cards" to "cards in '''excluded state'''" ({{Ruby|除|じょ}}{{Ruby|外|がい}}{{Ruby|状|じょう}}{{Ruby|態|たい}} ''Jogai Jōtai'').

Artwork of "Dimensional Prison", depicting a monster being banished

Banish (Japanese: 除（じょ）外（がい） Jogai, lit. "exclude"), known as remove from play prior to Problem-Solving Card Text, is a term used to describe the act of making a card banished, causing the card to leave its current location. Cards can only be banished by a card that uses the word "Banish".

Banished cards are not placed in any particular zone. Banished cards should be kept next to the Graveyard, in clear view of both duelists;[1] banished cards are typically placed in a single pile, in a manner similar to the Graveyard. Most video games place banished cards in a single pile located to the right of the Graveyard.

Mechanics[edit]

Because banishing a card causes it to leave its current location, banishing a card on the field causes it to leave the field. Consequently, if a Monster Token is banished face-up, it is simply removed from the game rather than placed with the other banished cards.

Banished cards cannot be destroyed. Returning a banished card to the Graveyard is not considered to be sending that card to the Graveyard, and can be done even if a card like "Dimensional Fissure" is active.

Banished face-down[edit]

By default, cards are banished face-up, with these cards being public knowledge. However, several cards can banish cards face-down (such as "Ghostrick Skeleton" and "Pot of Desires"); a card that is banished face-down is not public knowledge and can thus only be looked at by its possessor. A card that is banished face-down cannot be affected by cards that specify properties of the banished card, other than the card that banished it. (e.g. "Burial from a Different Dimension" cannot return face-down banished monsters to the GY, but "Virtual World Hime - Nyannyan" can shuffle a face-down banished card to the Deck.) The number of banished cards (including face-down banished cards) is public knowledge.

Monster Tokens cannot be banished face-down.

Temporarily banished[edit]

Card effects can temporarily banish cards until a later point in time, at which point the card returns to its original location. Returning a monster to the field from temporary banishment does not count as a Special Summon.

If a card controlled by a player that is not its owner is temporarily banished by a card like "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", while banished it will be in the possession of its owner, but when it returns to the field it will return to the side of the field of the player that controlled it when it was banished. If its owner does not have an unoccupied Zone on the field to return it to, the card is instead sent to the Graveyard. Furthermore, if the effect that gave temporary control of that card to the opponent is no longer active, it will then return to the original owner.[2] If a card would be banished when it leaves the field, if it is temporarily banished by another card effect, it does not return to the field.

Banished cards[edit]

The Game Mat as it appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus. Banished cards are placed in the location offset to the right of the Graveyard.

Banished cards are not considered to be placed in any actual location, and as such there was no noun used to refer to their placement, or them as whole, in the TCG until Phantom Nightmare, where "your banishment" was first used to refer to "cards in your possession that are banished" (although only on some cards). A somewhat similar change was introduced to the OCG a few sets earlier in Duelist Nexus, which changed all references to "excluded cards" to "cards in excluded state" (除（じょ）外（がい）状（じょう）態（たい） Jogai Jōtai).

Before this, some sources occasionally but incorrectly referred to it as the "Banished Zone"[3] or "banished pile"[4] ("removed zone"[5] or "removed from play pile"[6] prior to the Problem-Solving Card Text update), despite the basic premise of not being a zone. These terms have never been used in card texts, and no longer used in official ruling materials.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, banished cards are represented by an icon depicting a blue disintegrating card backing; previously, they were represented by an icon depicting a purple tombstone marked with an "X". In most video games, banished cards are placed in a pile to the right of their owner's Graveyard (from their perspective).

Appearance[edit]

Anime[edit]

Yu-Gi-Oh! and GX[edit]

In Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, if a Duel Disk is connected to a Dueling Arena, the banished cards are put where the Graveyard of the Dueling Arena is. If not, the banished cards were placed in the Duelist's pockets.[7] Seto Kaiba is seen placing his banished cards to the right of his Deck while Dueling using his Duel Disk connected to a Dueling Arena.[8] Other series do not draw attention to the physical locations of cards.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's[edit]

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, cards being banished are depicted as being sucked into a black vortex.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL[edit]

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, monsters being banished or Special Summoned while banished sometimes enter in and emerge from portals identical to the Graveyard one, but green. While banished cards were not displayed off-screen, interacting with banished cards (such as returning them to the hand or Special Summoning) will have banished card regenerated in the Graveyard, then Special Summoned from there.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V[edit]

"Gem-Knight" monsters being banished by "Fragment Fusion" in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, cards banished from the Graveyard disintegrate with a vortex, cards banished from the field disintegrate and scatter, and cards banished from the hand disintegrate into a purple sphere. However, it is unclear where these cards are kept.

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS[edit]

In Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, cards banished from the GY are disintegrated with a high-tech appearing vortex interface. Cards that are banished from the hand and/or field are dissolved into green particles. While displaying banished cards on-screen, their location is depicted as an endlessly spiraling green twister.
