Destroy

Destroying is a way of sending cards to the Graveyard.

Cards can be destroyed by card effects which explicitly use the word "destroy". When a monster is beaten in battle, it is considered destroyed as well.

When a card is destroyed, it is sent to the Graveyard, unless there is an active card effect that says otherwise.

Discarding, offering as a Tribute, banishing, or sending a card to the Graveyard are not the same as destroying a card. For example, if monsters are sent to the Graveyard for a Fusion Summon, they are simply referred to as sent to the Graveyard. Cards sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon are also treated in a similar fashion. When an Xyz Material is detached, the material is sent to the Graveyard.
