What happens when an entity enters a full Garden or Alley?

The row’s owner picks one of their entities there to replace, and it goes to the discard pile. Replacing is not destroying, removing or sacrificing, so it even works on Godmode.

Step by step

  1. Your Garden holds five entities, the most it can have. Your leader does not count.
  2. Another entity enters your Garden. You choose one of your five to replace.
  3. The replaced entity goes to your discard pile. Effects that care about destroying or sacrificing do not see it.
  4. Teb Fea has Godmode, but it can still be replaced.

Good to know

If an effect swaps entities between the Garden and the Alley while both rows are full, like Ninpō: Thunderstep, nothing is replaced: the swap happens all at once. When your opponent forces a replacement on your side, you still choose which entity goes.
