Excavate (めくる Mekuru, lit. "flip" or "turn over") is an action that picks up and reveals cards from the top of the Deck. It is featured prominently on "Sylvan" monsters, which debuted in Legacy of the Valiant.
This term was introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game in War of the Giants: Round 2 (January 17, 2014). Previously, cards that used this term in Japanese were simply described as "picking up" cards instead. Revealing cards from the Deck in other ways (e.g. "Noble Knight Borz") is not excavating—unless a card specifically refers to "excavating", then it doesn't excavate.[1]
Excavated cards remain in the Deck even after being picked up, until they are explicitly moved to another location. Since the cards are revealed, they are shown to both players. While cards are normally only excavated from the Main Deck, some cards (e.g. "Cynet Storm") can excavate cards from the Extra Deck instead.
