Banishment, known as the Removed from play Zone or Removed Zone prior to the PSCT update in Phantom Nightmare, is an official term used to refer to the location where a player's banished cards are placed. It has also been referred to as the banished pile,[1] or the removed from play pile[2] (sometimes formatted as removed-from-play pile[3]) prior to the PSCT update. Banishment is not actually a zone, and as such, it is not included on official playmats.
Most video games place banished cards either to the right of or above the Graveyard Zone. The artwork of one particular card, "Chain Material", explicitly shows an example of where banished cards may be placed.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime often shows Duelists utilizing their pockets for banished cards due to the lack of any place on a Duel Disk to put them.
