Tribute

Japanese

リリース (formerly にえささげる)

English

Tribute
Formerly: offer as a Tribute or offer as Tributes
Noun: Tribute (Monster)

Tribute, called Release (Japanese: リリース Rirīsu) in Japanese media, the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's dub and briefly in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL dub, refers to a method of sending a monster(s) the player controls to the Graveyard. It was previously referred to as to offer as a Tribute in the TCG, called Sacrifice (にえささげる Ikenie ni Sasageru) in the OCG and the Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime series.

Monsters can be Tributed in two ways:

Unless a card specifically states that you can Tribute monsters in your hand or under your opponent's control, such as "Forbidden Arts of the Gishki" and "Reptilianne Vaskii", you can only Tribute monsters you control (i.e. on your field).

While normally only monsters can be Tributed, some cards, such as "True Draco" cards and "Kiryu", can Tribute Spell and Trap Cards.

Tributed cards do not need to end up in the Graveyard to still be considered Tributed. For example, Tributed cards banished by the effect of "Macro Cosmos" will still be considered to be Tributed, so the cost of cards such as "Horn of Heaven" can still be paid while "Macro Cosmos" is active.
