A '''discard''' is the act of [[send]]ing a card from the [[hand]], under normal circumstances, to the [[Graveyard]] that can either be as a result of a [[card effect]], or as a requirement to [[activate]] a card. Two such examples are "[[Spirit Reaper]]" and "[[Lightning Vortex]]," respectively. When a card is discarded it is not considered [[destroy]]ed.

Discarding for cards like "Lightning Vortex" or "[[Raigeki Break]]" is considered paying a [[cost]]. As such, "[[Dark World]]" monsters would not get their [[Trigger]] effects. Discarding cards from hand during the [[End Phase]] due to [[Hand Size Limit]] will not trigger "Dark World" effects, as discarding at this time is not considered discarding as part of a card effect.

A card being discarded does not necessarily go to the Graveyard. Although this is normally the case, cards like "[[Macro Cosmos]]" will send the cards to the [[Banished Zone]] instead; however, the card is still considered as being discarded.

Cards can be discarded in several ways:

*During the [[turn player]]'s [[End Phase]] due to [[hand size limit]].

*By card that specifically uses this term (as a [[cost]], [[card effect|effect]], or as part of a [[Summoning condition]]).

* [[Discarding for a cost]] - [[Discards for cost|List]]

It is possible to discard multiple cards at once. For example, "[[Card Destruction]]" discards multiple cards at once, but is still considered a single act of discarding cards (for the purposes of cards such as "[[Blessings of the Nile]]").

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. For example, even while the effect of "[[Macro Cosmos]]" is being applied, a player can still discard 1 card to activate "[[Magic Jammer]]" as usual; the discarded card will just be banished instead.

Discarding (Japanese: 捨（す）てる Suteru) is a form of removing cards from the hand.

Cards can be discarded in several ways:

It is possible to discard multiple cards at once. For example, "Card Destruction" discards multiple cards at once, but is still considered a single act of discarding cards (for the purposes of cards such as "Blessings of the Nile").

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. For example, even while the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is being applied, a player can still discard 1 card to activate "Magic Jammer" as usual; the discarded card will just be banished instead.

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.

The "Dark World" and "Fabled" archetypes revolve around discarding.
