Once act of making a card is removed this waybanished, it cannot re-enter causing the card to leave its current duel, except location. Cards can only be banished by a card that specifically allows it, such as uses the word "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]Banish".

Originally, there were Banished cards are not many cards which could remove other cards from play, with some of the first being "[[Nobleman of Crossout]]" and "placed in any particular [[Nobleman of Exterminationzone]]". However, over time, removal has become a popular theme, with several Banished cards should be kept next to go with it ([[Chaos]] and [[Different Dimension (Dthe Graveyard, in clear view of both duelists;<ref>{{cite web |title=Official KDE-E Yu-Gi-Oh!

And}}</ref> banished cards are typically placed in a single pile, in turn, more cards were created a manner similar to bring them back, such as "[[Dthe Graveyard.D.M. - Different Dimension Master]]", "[[Dimension Fusion]]", "[[Dimension Explosion]]" and "[[Burial from Most video games place banished cards in a Different Dimension]]"single pile located to the right of the Graveyard.

Removal is good for breaking strategies==Mechanics==Because banishing a card causes it to leave its current location, especially when combined with banishing a card like "on the field causes it to [[Fiber Jar]]", which reunites every player's [[hand]], [[Main Deckleaves the field|Deckleave the field]]. Consequently, Field Contents, and if a [[GraveyardMonster Token]]is banished face-up, into a new Deck, but doesn't combine cards it is simply removed from play. Combined the game rather than placed with monsters like "[[Gren Maju Da Eiza]]", "[[Golden Homunculus]]" or any in the "[[Helios - The Primordial Sun]]" series can give a player some of the highest attack powers in the gameother banished cards.

Since currently, many decks rely on the Graveyard, Decks that rely on the effects of "Banished cards cannot be [[Dimensional Fissuredestroy]]", "ed. [[Macro CosmosReturn]]" and "ing a banished card to the [[Banisher of the RadianceGraveyard]]", along with "is not considered to be [[D.D. Survivorsend]]" have grown in power. Being able ing that card to shut down an opponents the Graveyard, plus having an 1800 and can be done even if a card like "[[ATKDimensional Fissure]] monster in Survivor that keeps returning itself every time it's removed from play while face-up for as long as the removal card " is active, have shown themselves to be powerful decks.

===Banished face-down===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. [[Removed 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 Play 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]] can 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!

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 typically it is video games, banished cards are placed above or in a pile to the right of their owner's Graveyard (from their perspective). ==Appearance=====Anime======''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' and ''GX''===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
