In this screenshot, the Nero player has 13 cards in his graveyard while Ryu has 8.
The Graveyard is where destroyed Unit Cards and used Action Cards go, cards within the graveyard are not drawn into the player's hand anymore unless a card or Hero Art has an effect that "brings back" the card in question toward the player's EX Pocket or board slot.
In the case of a Unit Card having the Revenge ability, this card will not go to the graveyard once destroyed but instead back to the player's deck.
Another exception to this is the "removed from the game" effect such as from Blockade Strike (HBM 019) or Head Chopper (ATH 018). In this case, the card affected will not go the the graveyard but instead will be gone from the match permanently. Blackout or Abduction (IOF 071) are also capable of removing units from the game instantly regardless of their HP if their Attack is low enough to be susceptible by it.
- As of the 30_MINUTES.EXE expansion, cards can be removed to activate the Burn ability if certain number of cards are removed. Removed cards can now also be "copied" back to the player's EX Pocket or board slot with certain cards.
Both player's graveyard count can be seen at all times just below the Life number, next to the tombstone icon.
