		int|nil pos: the cards' position when banished. `nil` will use their current position

		int flag: a unique integer to be registered as a flag on the affected cards
		Effect e: the effect performing the banishment
		int tp: the player performing the banishment, and will later perform `oper`
		function oper: a function with the signature (rg,e,tp,eg,ep,ev,re,r,rp)

		function|nil cond: an additional condition function with the signature (rg,e,tp,eg,ep,ev,re,r,rp).

		int|nil reset: the reset value. If not passed, the reset will be `RESET_PHASE+phase`.
