Compulsory Evacuation Device

Compulsory Evacuation Device was originally introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game in the early 2000s, serving as a fundamental piece of utility for competitive players. The card functions as a targeted removal trap, allowing players to return any monster on the field to its owner's hand, effectively disrupting strategies that rely on complex field setups or high-investment boss monsters.

The Secret Rare version found in the 2012 Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World Mega Pack features a distinct holographic finish that was highly sought after by collectors of the era. The design language of the card reflects the aesthetic shift in the game toward high-rarity reprints that celebrated classic utility cards, offering a visually upgraded iteration of a staple that had remained relevant across multiple iterations of the game's rule set.
