Leaves the field (Japanese: フィールドから
From September 1, 2011 onward, when a card on the field is moved into the Main Deck, that card cannot activate its "leaves the field" effect.[3][4] However, any effects or conditions that card has that apply when it "leaves the field" that do not use a Chain will still be applied.[5] Additionally, if a card is banished face-down, it cannot activate its "leaves the field" effect. If a card or effect can be activated when a card(s) leaves the field, it can be activated even if the card that left the field is shuffled into the Main Deck.
If a card is affected by an effect that would apply or activate when it leaves the field, that effect will not apply if that card leaves the field while face-down.
While uncommon, some cards and effects do describe a card leaving a particular zone (e.g. "leaves your Monster Zone or Pendulum Zone").
