[[File:DimensionalPrison-SDCR-EN-C-1E.png|200px|right]]'''Banish''', formerly known as '''remove from play''' prior to the [[Problem-Solving Card Text]] update and called '''exclude''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|除|じょ}}{{Ruby|外|がい}} ''Jogai'', lit. "exclude") in the , known as '''remove from play'''prior to the [[OCGProblem-Solving Card Text]]''update, is a term used to describe the act of moving making a card banished, causing the card(s) to the leave its current location. Banished cards are not in any particular [[Banished Zonezone]]. Cards can only be banished by a card that uses the word "Banish".

Cards Because banished cards are not in any particular [[zone]], a player can only be place their banished by cards anywhere in the play area that is not a card that uses zone. They are typically placed either above or to the right of the word "banish" (or "remove from play" for cards without [[Problem-Solving Card TextGraveyard]], or just under the field (directly in front of the player). Most video games place it to the right of the Graveyard.

AlsoA 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. The number of banished cards (including face-down banished cards) is public knowledge.

Most video games place it is not considered to be [[send]]ing that card to the right of the Graveyard, and can be done even if a card like "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" is active.

==Banishing face-down==By default, cards are banished If a card [[face-upcontrol]], and banished cards are public knowledge. However, several cards can led by a player that is not its [[Banishes face-down|banish cards face-downowner]], such as is temporarily banished by a card like "[[Goblin CircusInterdimensional Matter Transporter]]", "while banished it will be in the [[Ghostrick Skeletonpossession]]", "of its [[Xyz Overrideowner]]" and ", but when it returns to the [[Pot of Desiresfield]]"; a card it will return to the side of the field of the player that is controlled it when it was banished face-down is not public knowledge and can thus only be looked at by . If its ownerdoes not have an unoccupied [[Zone]] on the field to return it to, the card is instead sent to the Graveyard. A Furthermore, if the effect that gave temporary control of that card that to the opponent is banished faceno longer active, it will then return to the original owner.<ref>{{cite book |author=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game -down cannot Perfect Rulebook 2015 |url=https://ygorganization.com/perfectrulebook/ |page=45}}</ref> If a card would be used for any purpose except that prescribed on banished when it leaves the field, if it is temporarily banished by another card that banished effect, itdoes not return to the field.

However, over time, banishing cards has become a popular theme with several cards to go with it (such as [[Chaos]] and "[[D.D.]]" cards). In turn, more cards were created to bring them banished cards back, including "[[D.D.M. - Different Dimension Master]]", "[[Dimension Fusion]]", "[[Dimension Explosion]]", "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]", and "[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]]".

In the [[Problem-Solving Card Text ]] update, "remove from play" was renamed "banish" . This was both to make card texts less "clunky" and text easier to understand, because in normal English "remove" and "to distinguish it from play" would often be broken up making many card texts unclear. Also, the term was often confused with similarly-named "removed from the field", which was renamed "[[leaves the field]]" in the same update for this reason.<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>

Since many Decks rely on the Graveyard, Decks that rely on the effects of "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Banisher of the Light]]", and "[[Banisher of the Radiance]]" have grown in power. Being able to shut down an opponents Graveyard plus having "[[D.D. Survivor]]", an 1800 [[ATK]] monster that keeps returning every time it's banished while face-up, have shown themselves to be powerful Decks. "[[D.D. Scout Plane]]" is also incredibly useful in these Decks: if it is banished from your hand or Deck, it will be [[Special Summon]]ed. The main weakness of these Decks is the fact that it is not difficult to remove the card that banishes other cards; , and cards like "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" and "[[Chaos Hunter]]" counter such Decks with ease.

GX]]'', if a [[Duel Disk]] is connected to a [[Dueling Arena]], the banished cards are put where the [[Graveyard Zone]] of the Dueling Arena is. If not, the banished cards were placed in the Duelist's pockets.<ref name="gx ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'', monsters being banished or Special Summoned from the Banished Zone while banished sometimes enter in and emerge from portals identical to the Graveyard's one, but green. 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.

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-VVRAINS]]'', cards banished from the Graveyard disintegrate GY are disintegrated with a high-tech appearing vortex, cards interface. Cards that are banished from the hand and/or field disintegrate and scatterare dissolved into green particles. While displaying banished cards on-screen, and cards banished from the hand disintegrate into a purple spheretheir location is depicted as an endlessly spiraling green twister.
