what do they mean on Yu-Gi-Oh cards " removing from play the above cards on your side of the field"?

Question

Its a Machine/Fusion/Effect

Answer 1

During your turn, if you have the Magic Card "Polymerization" and the Fusion-Material Monsters required to form a Fusion Monster, either on the field or in your hand, you can perform a Fusion as a Special Summon by activating "Polymerization"(Special Summon).

When Fusion is performed, select the appropriate Fusion Monster Card from your Fusion Deck and place it face-up on an open Monster Card Zone space in either Attack or Defense Position. The 2 (or more) Fusion-Material Monster Cards that have been fused, as well as the "Polymerization" Magic Card used to perform the Fusion, are destroyed.

When a Fusion Monster is destroyed, it is sent to the Graveyard. If a Fusion Monster Card is returned to your hand, place it back in the Fusion Deck instead. NOTE: Since a "Fusion" is considered a Special Summon, the card will be immune to cards such as a "Trap Hole". Also, since it is a Special Summon you can conduct a Normal Summon or Set another monster in the same turn.

Answer 2

*sigh*

It means you remove the cards on the Fusion monster from the game. You then Special Summon the Fusion monster. It says right on the card that you don't use Polymerization. In fact, removing the monsters is the ONLY way to special summon any of the V-Z fusions.

Answer 3

The Alphabet Fusions are unusual in that they do not use Polymerization but act instead almost as if you were using Fusion Gate except that the monsters must be on the field. (Fusion Summons using Fusion Gate or Polymerization can use monsters in hand or on the field.)

If you use a playmat, cards removed from play can be placed anywhere off the mat. They definitely do NOT go to the Graveyard. If you do not use a mat, be careful to put cards removed from play somewhere where they will not get mixed in with your Graveyard. While cards in the Graveyard are not in play, there are are many spell/trap cards or monster effects that make use of the Graveyard, and many cards can easily be Special Summoned from there. The Removed From Play Zone has a lesser role in the game; there are relatively few cards that will allow a player to return cards from the RFP Zone to the game.

If you play V-W-X-Y-Z cards, you might want to consider playing Return from the Different Dimension or Dimension Fusion. RftDD was a powerful trap card in big tournaments because one of the most powerful cards not banned from tournament play, Chaos Sorcerer, required players to remove two monsters from play when CS was summoned. After summoning Chaos Sorcerer once or twice or using other means of removing cards from play, players would clear the opponent's field and activate Return (that was the tricky part), which would let them bring back as many monsters as they could for one turn only from the RFP Zone. It was easy to remove monsters with enough attack strength to end the game.

Chaos Sorcerer is no longer permitted in Advanced Format tournaments, but the Alphabet Machines, while not seen at the highest level of play, are one way to load the RFP Zone.

Some monsters modify their ATK/DEF strength depending on how many cards/monsters/monsters of a particular type are removed from play. Other monsters, while they are face-up on the field, will remove cards from play when they would normally be sent to the Graveyard. The popular DD Warrior Lady has an optional effect - when she battles with another monster monster, you may choose

When VW or any of the Alphabet Fusion Monsters are on the field and are destroyed, they will go to the Graveyard, where they might be removed from play as a cost to Special Summon the monster Soul of Purity and Light, or for the effect of Freed the Brave Wanderer.

Because V-W-X-Y-Z are all Light-attribute Machine-type monsters, they are at their best in decks that support the Light or Machine theme. Shining Angel, for instance, is an excellent card for VWXYZ - when it is destroyed in battle, you can Special Summon W, Y or Z from your deck, because they are all Light monsters with under 1500 attack points. Cards that support the Union theme can also help, as W, Y and Z are Union monsters, but I shall withhold the Union strategy for a future question.

Answer 4

because in that case u will not be using polymerization, in exchange u bget to remove the monsters for the fusion summoning from the field and this card could b very handy 'return from the different dimension' dont listen to them, specially cynthia, she has no patience

Answer 5

That u have remove the cards from your side to a pile that you can use for removing cards from play. I read and understand all three thousand of my yu-gi-oh cards. Please email me at [e-mail] if you have any more yu-gi-oh questions.

Answer 6

It means that you must/may(depends what the card says) remove the above cards ON your side of your field.. Thats all...

Answer 7

well if the card that you are talking about is XYZ-Dragon, you have to send "X-head cannon, "Y-Dragon head" ,and "Z-Metal Tank" out of the game that means you can not revive them except with the effect of "Return from a different Dimension"

Answer 8
