Cards can be discarded in one of two ways:
*During the [[turn player]]'s [[End Phase]] due to [[hand size limit]].

Although discarded cards are sent to the Graveyard by default, the term "discard" on its own does not specify where those cards are sent to. Even if those cards are not sent to the Graveyard, they are still considered to be discarded.

Note that only effects that specifically have the term "discard" stated in their texts involve discarding. The effects of cards such as "[[Hand Destruction]]", "[[Chain Destruction]]", "[[Polymerization]]" and "[[Black Illusion Ritual]]" send cards from the hand to the Graveyard, but they do not discard cards.
