Displace vs other games
Displace moves an entity from the Garden to its owner’s Alley, and its card effects do not activate. Weapons can’t be attached to cards in the Alley, so our read, pending a ruling, is that a displaced entity’s weapons go to the discard pile. Because only one entity per turn can portal back through the Gate — entering the Garden with Cooldown — Displace clears Defenders and slows wide boards without putting cards back in hand.
Is it like…
Switching the Active Pokémon to the Bench in Pokémon TCGPartly
Partly. Both push a front-row unit into the back row without knocking it out, though Benched Pokémon cure Special Conditions and keep attached cards while displaced Azuki entities re-enter with Cooldown and, by our read of the rule that weapons can’t be attached in the Alley, lose their weapons.
What’s the same and what’s differentUnsummon (bounce) in Magic: The GatheringPartly
Partly. Both clear a blocker or threat without destroying it, so indestructible or death triggers don’t fire, but Displace parks the entity in the back-row Alley instead of its owner’s hand.
What’s the same and what’s differentSap in HearthstonePartly
Partly. Sap sends an enemy minion back to its owner’s hand so they have to pay mana for it again. Displace sends an enemy Garden entity to its owner’s Alley on the board, where portaling is free but capped at one entity per turn.
What’s the same and what’s differentPlacing a monster in the Spell & Trap Zone in Yu-Gi-Oh!Partly
Partly. Both push a monster out of the combat row into the back row without destroying it or sending it to the graveyard, though Azuki’s Alley is made to hold entities waiting to portal back.
What’s the same and what’s differentReturning Characters to hand in One Piece TCGPartly
Partly. Both scale by cost to clear Blocker or Defender units without K.O.’ing them, though One Piece splits bounce (Blue) and enemy cost reduction (Black) across two colors while Azuki puts Rainworn Gate cost reduction and Displace together in Water.
