| + | 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, like [[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".

| − | Banished cards are not placed in any particular [[zone]]. Banished cards should be kept next to the Graveyard, in clear view of both duelists;<ref>{{cite web |title=Official KDE-E Yu-Gi-Oh!

Most video games place banished cards in a single pile located to the right of the Graveyard.
| + | Originally, there were not many cards which could remove other cards from play. (E.G. [[Nobleman of Crossout]].) 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]] and [[Burial from a Different Dimension]], for example.) |
| | | | |
| − | ==Mechanics==
| + | Removal is good for breaking strategies, especially when combined with a card like [[Fiber Jar]], which reunites every player's [[Hand]], [[Deck]], Field Contents, and [[Graveyard]], into a new [[Deck]], but doesn't combine cards removed from play. |
| − | 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.
| |
| | | | |
| − | 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.
| + | 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 [[destroyed]]as long as the removal card is active, have shown themselves to be powerful decks. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Banished face-down===
| + | 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]]. |
| − | 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.

| − | ===Temporarily banished===
| |
| − | 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! Official Card Game - Perfect Rulebook 2015 |url=https://ygorganization.com/perfectrulebook/ |page=45}}</ref> 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 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'').

| − | 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).

| − | 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.

| − | 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.

| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * Thematically, cards which banish tend to imply either that the card's soul is being removed (e.g. "[[Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer]]", "[[Bazoo the Soul Eater]]") or that the card is sent to another dimension (e.g. the "[[D.D.]]" [[series]]).
| |
| − | * One of the reasons that "remove from play" was renamed to "banish" in the [[Problem-Solving Card Text]] update was because it was too easily confused with the similarly-named "removed from the field", which itself was renamed to "[[leaves the field]]" in the same update.<ref name="part2">{{cite web|url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=2915|title=Problem-Solving Card Text, Part 2: New Words & Phrases|last=Tewart|first=Kevin|authorlink=Kevin Tewart|publisher=[[Konami]]|date=May 23, 2011|accessdate=July 28, 2011}}</ref>
| |
| − | * The first card that could banish cards was "[[Gravedigger Ghoul]]".
| |
| − | * The first card that can return banished cards was "[[Miracle Dig]]".
| |
| − | * ''[[Structure Deck: Advent of the Emperor]]''/''[[The Dark Emperor Structure Deck]]'' revolves around banishing.
