The only time you can only remove from play cards from your graveyard is if a card tells you to do so.
The exact timing will be down to the effect themselves. Removing them to summon Chaos Sorcerer can only be done in your own main phases, same for removing Mezuki to activate its Ignition Effect. However cards like Necro Gardna are spell speed 2, and can be activated 'any time' within certain boundaries, ie, not in chain to a Spell Speed 3 card, and must be before or during the opponent's attack phase.
No, you cannot remove cards from your graveyard at any time. Removing cards from the graveyard is only possible through specific card effects or abilities that allow you to do so.
You cannot simply decide to do that, for no reason. Cards will go to the graveyard or removed from play zone when directed to by an effect, or when you use them as a cost, depending on the wording of the cards.
because some cards relie on the graveyard for their effects like Marie the fallen one or sinister serpent.
No, 'Exiled' cards go to what used to be called the 'removed from play' zone. A card that is exiled from hand or battlefield, for example, never hits the graveyard, and cards in the exiled zone can't be affected by cards that look at or refer to graveyard cards.
The 'remove from play' zone could be thought of as another graveyard, just with a different name. So if you are instructed to send a card there ('banished', under new terminology), you just place that card off to one side to show that it is gone from play, and not in the graveyard. A card that triggers when it goes to the graveyard, will not trigger in this case because it never went there. Cards in the removed from play zone can only be affected by things that specifically affect them, such as Burial from a Different Dimension.
The following lists cards that allow a player to return removed from play cards to the Graveyard:Burial from a Different DimensionMiracle DigFortune's FutureDoomsday Horror
What happens is you choose a monster on your opponent controls. Then you choose monsters in your graveyard to remove from play. But you have to remove monsters from play equal to the Level of your opponent's monster. Then your opponent's monster that you chose is destroyed. Eg. If you wanted to destroy Giant Rat, then you would have to remove 4 monsters in your graveyard from play because Giant Rat is Level 4.
yes it doesAnswer:here is the card text of Rainbow Dragon:"You can remove from play all "Crystal Beast" Monster Cards in your Graveyard to return ALL cards on the field to their owner's Decks."the card didn't say "except this card" that some cards indicate like Ocean Lord Neo Daedelus.
Use a Dimensional Fissure Deck or something similar it removes from play all cards that go into the graveyard so.. there wont be nuthin in the graveyard for Sky Scourges to feed on =D
Cards that go to the Graveyard are common knowledge, so the opponent has a right to see the one that you choose to send to the Graveyard. However, unless they have an effect in play that decrees otherwise, you do not have to show them the card that you choose to add to your hand.
there are a fair few, but the ones that come to my mind first are shield warrior and necro gardna which can only activate in the graveyard. But not all effects involve removing from play such as volcanic shell.
it is like a polymerization for elemental heroes it only works to summon an elmental hero fusion monster and you can take the fusion material cards(they are the cards needed to make a fusion monster they are listed on the fusion monster) form the graveyard and/or the feild (not hand) don't put them in the graveyard put them in the removed from play pile (this is seprate from the graveyard) and special summon the elemental herofusion monster (this is treated as a fusion summon) ex:elemental hero flame wingman on feild elemental hero sparkman in graveyard use the miracle fusion spell card to summon elemental hero shinning flare wingman and remove from play elemental hero flame wingman and elemental hero sparkman
It allows you to remove them, that is the cost to summon it. If it needed something else to remove the cards, that would be a Trigger effect that would say 'if' or 'when' that happens. Compare to cards like Gorz or Phantom Dragon, who summon themselves 'when' something happens.
