I think, the removed cards from play are not "removed from play"! It's a piece of the game althougt the cards are "ReMoVeD FrOm PlAy!"--80.171.47.58 17:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Banish is a good term, it makes certain situations simpler to say, saddly things may be being over simplified. now it'l be more like magic with over simplified effects, though it will get rid of cards with walls of text for effects.Kazisaki (talk • contribs) 23:59, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

I think Vanish would be a better term.--Wasn't (talk • contribs) 16:44, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

I thought that removed from play was the official term. Since when was it changed to banished? Regardless of whether or not it sounds better, removed from play has always been how it is referenced on cards, ect. Uless I'm mistaken and there has been a change in the termilogy, then it should be kept as removed from play.--Qim1 (talk • contribs) 16:11, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Banish means +/- not allowed. Vanish would be a better term because removed from play cards can still enter the duel with another card effect. If it was Banished, then I don't think you can use them at all. site: http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/banish --Wasn't (talk • contribs) 16:53, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Banished doesn't mean not allowed. It means exiled or sent away.BobaFett2 (talk)

Also, Removed from Play was originally permanent but it turned into it's own archetype and is the "new" Graveyard.BobaFett2 (talk)

What does ""new" Graveyard" mean?--Wasn't (talk • contribs) 18:55, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

A while back your Graveyard was pretty much permanent-anything destroyed would stay there save one or two cards. Nowadays people will make great use of Graveyards but at the moment Banished is as permanent as Graveyards used to be.BobaFett2 (talk)

Was the term officially changed Edit

Since when the term was officially changed? It has always been "Removed form play"... I can't believe Konami would change it now, it's kind of too late. 186.213.86.68 (talk) 15:29, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

They changed it because they want to use less word same meaning as possible.--Wasn't (talk • contribs) 17:51, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

"Piercing Battle Damage" replaces the phrase "during battle between...whose DEF is lower than the ATK...inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent" How can anyone mix up "Remove From Field" and Remove from play; i don't get it. There's more but that too much to say; they want to use less word same meaning as possible mostly to avoid crowed text in cards or to to be more direct.--Wasn't (talk • contribs) 13:51, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Say what you want, these changes are all improvements and most of them are years overdue. Be careful not to decide you don't like them just because they're different from what's been used up until now. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:18, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

I can and I did. The use of the word "remove" in two different ways causes problems, especially if you read a card quickly. "removed from the field" also had no rulebook definition, at least when I used to play, so when I first saw it, I assumed they had changed what "removed from play" was worded as.

I think "Dinoguy" was talking to me when he said "Say what you want, these changes are all improvements...". I don't have anything against it. I just never know people can get mixed up with RFM and RFF; besides it's mostly done to save space in a card text.--Wasn't (talk • contribs) 12:57, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Pay attention to the indent levels; Cheesedude was talking to you (unless he misindented). ;) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:05, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Japanese nameEdit

I could be completely wrong here, but I don't its called banish in the OCG, before or after PSCT. In the anime, characters usually say they exclude a card when they remove it from play. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 10:22, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Banishing cards without a card effect Edit

I know that you can't banish cards from anywhere without a card effect, but I just want to confirm it here (since a guy I know insists you can. Said he even got that info from Konami!). Is it possible to banish cards without a card effect telling you to, under any conditions?

Thanks in advance :)
