Purge

When a card is purged, it is removed from the game and placed faceup beneath its owner’s identity card in an out-of-play zone known as the Purged zone. There is no order to the cards placed in the purged zone, and cards in the purged zone are not hidden information. Card abilities are the only means by which a player is permitted to interact with cards in the purged zone.

Commentary

If a card with a Destroyed: ability is directly purged, that Destroyed: ability will not resolve. For example, Oubliette is one of the few ways to cause a Bad Penny to leave play without it returning to its owner's hand.
