D.D.

Banished (formerly referred to as Removed from Game, or RFG), is a popular theme in Decks in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Metagame. It involves using cards that gain strength for each card that has been banished (or removed from game previously), as well as cards that banish.

D.D. is short for Different Dimension.
