Does Macro Cosmos remove from play cards that are discarded from your hand?

Question

As i was reading the text in macro cosmos i saw that it said that it removes from play all cards that are sent to the graveyard but it didnt say anything about discarding. I know the distinct difference between sending and discarding because i run a dark world deck and for the effect to work you must discard the card. so to repeat my question, does macro cosmos remove from play cards that are discarded from the hand?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yes it does beacuse it says 'any card sent to the gravetard' and since discarding a card means sending it from the hand to the graveyard so it is removed from play.

Look here for clarification:

Answer 3
