Common name of a player’s discard pile in CCGs and TCGs.
In Gwent, a card is most commonly sent to the graveyard when it is destroyed (its card power is damaged to zero) by an enemy unit. This removes the card from the board and puts it in the player’s discard pile. Cards are also sent to the graveyard when the player overdraws or decides to discard from hand. There are many different types of cards that can interact with the graveyard, such as Assire var Anahid, Freya's Blessing, and Xavier Lemmens.
