Cards can only be banished by ==Mechanics==Because banishing a card causes it to leave its current location, banishing a card that uses on the field causes it to [[leaves the word "banish" (or "remove from play" for cards without field|leave the field]]. Consequently, if a [[Problem-Solving Card TextMonster 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]] does is not count as considered to be [[send]]ing that card to the Graveyard. Unless banished [[face-down]], banished cards are and can be done even if a card like "[[public knowledgeDimensional Fissure]]" is active.

The ===Banished Zone face-down===By default, cards are banished [[face-up]], with these cards being [[public knowledge]]. However, several cards can be placed anywhere on the table, [[Banishes face-down|banish cards face-down]] (such as it has no actual place in the game since it "[[Ghostrick Skeleton]]" and "[[Pot of Desires]]"); a card that is banished face-down is not actually a public knowledge and can thus only be looked at by its [[zonepossess]] (as demonstrated from its absence on official play mats)or. HoweverA 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 is typically placed either above or . (e.g. "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" cannot return face-down banished ''monsters'' to the right of the GY, but "[[Graveyard ZoneVirtual World Hime - Nyannyan]], or just under " can shuffle a face-down banished ''card'' to the field Deck.)

==History=Temporarily banished===Originally, there were few cards which could Card effects can temporarily banish other cardsuntil a later point in time, with some of at which point the first being "[[Soul Release]]" and "[[Banisher of the Light]]"card returns to its original location. The first card Returning a monster to return them was "[[Miracle Dig]]"the field from temporary banishment does not count as a Special Summon.

However, over time, banishing has become If a popular theme with several cards to go with it (card [[Chaoscontrol]] and "led by a player that is not its [[D.D.owner]]" cards). In turn, more cards were created to bring them back, including is temporarily banished by a card like "[[D.D.M. - Different Dimension MasterInterdimensional Matter Transporter]]", "while banished it will be in the [[Dimension Fusionpossession]]", "of its [[Dimension Explosionowner]]", "but when it returns to the [[Burial from a Different Dimensionfield]]", and "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 [[Leviair the Sea DragonZone]]"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!

Scout Plane]]" is also incredibly useful cards are placed 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 a pile to remove the card that banishes other cards; "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" and "[[Chaos Hunter]]" counter such Decks with easeright of their owner's Graveyard (from their perspective).

===''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL''===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. 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. ===''Yu-Gi-Oh!

However, it is unclear where these cards are kept.

===''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS''===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-VVRAINS]]'', cards banished from the Graveyard 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 disintegrating an endlessly spiraling green twister.{{Clear}} ==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 a vortexthe 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. == In other languages =={{In other languages| fr_name = bannir| de_name = verbannen| it_name = bandire| pt_name = banir| es_name = desterrar| ja_name = {{Ruby|除|じょ}}{{Ruby|外|がい}}| ja_romaji = Jogai| ja_trans = Exclude| ko_name = 제외| ko_rr = Je-oe| tc_name = 從遊戲中除外| tc_pinyin = Cóng Yóuxì zhōng Chúwài}}{{In other languages|Remove from play| fr_name = retirer du jeu| de_name = aus dem Spiel entfernen| it_name = rimuovere dal gioco| pt_name = remover de jogo| es_name = retirar del juego| ja_name = ゲームから{{ruby|取|と}}り{{ruby|除|のぞ}}く| ja_romaji = Gēmu kara Torinozoku| ja_trans = Remove from the Game| ko_name = 게임에서 제거| ko_rr = Geim-eseon Jegeo| tc_name = 從遊戲中移除| tc_pinyin = Cóng Yóuxì zhōng Yíchú}}
