Editing Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (section)

===Zones===
Cards are laid out in the following manner:
* '''Main Deck''': Main deck is placed here face-down, and can consist of 40 to 60 cards. Normal, Effect, Ritual, and Pendulum monsters can be stored here. Spell and Trap cards are also stored here.
* '''Extra Deck''': Extra deck is placed here face-down, if they have one, and may have 15 cards consisting of Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link monster cards. Pendulum monsters are also placed here face-up when they would otherwise be sent from the field to the Graveyard.
* '''Graveyard (GY)''': A zone where cards are sent to when they are discarded or destroyed, like monsters that have been tributed or destroyed, or most spell/trap cards after they have been activated.
* '''Main Monster Zones''': A field of five spaces where monster cards are placed when successfully Summoned. Prior to the addition of Link monsters, any kind of monster could be placed there at any time. After Link monsters were introduced, monsters from the extra deck could only be Special Summoned from the extra deck to the extra monster zone, or a main monster zone a Link monster points to, up until the rule change for April 2020 onward, where only Link monsters and Pendulum monsters summoned from the extra deck follow this restriction.
* '''Extra Monster Zones''': Introduced with Link monsters, this is a zone where monsters from the extra deck can be Summoned. An extra monster zone is not a part of either player's field until they Summon a monster to the extra monster zone, meaning they are shared between the players.
* '''Spell/Trap Zones''': Five spaces in which either spell or trap cards can be placed. The leftmost and rightmost spell/trap zones can optionally be treated as "Pendulum zones" by placing Pendulum monsters there, allowing players to use Pendulum effects and perform Pendulum Summons.
** The Pendulum Zones originally were at the left and right sides of the main monster and spell/trap zones when introduced with the ''Arc-V'' era, but were integrated into the leftmost and rightmost spell/trap zones during the ''VRAINS'' era.
* '''Field Zone''': A zone where field spell cards are placed.
* '''Banishment''': A zone where cards that are "banished" by card effects are sent.
