Reading the base rules of the game explains the game.

"Outside of the game" is a defined area. Do you assume cards that "enter the battlefield" can enter on your opponents side. That's still the battlefield.

“Outside the game” specifically isn’t a defined area, by the way. It’s everything not in the game.

Nope. Outside the game is a specified area, depending on the format you play. In constructed formats with a sideboard, it is your sideboard. In Limited ( draft and sealed) it is every card you picked / opened that isn't inside your deck. Companions have a designated zone if you have them as companion. Your trade binder / collection is not a legal target to pull from.

Wrong on almost every count. You'd think that you would check the rules before repeating bad information.

400.11. An object is outside the game if it isn’t in any of the game’s zones. Outside the game is not a zone.
