Somewhat, yes. A synchro does not count for you Normal Summon for the turn. This means that you can do multiple Synchro summons in one turn. But if you are implying that a Synchro Summon can be usd for a card effect triggerd by or that needs a special summon, then a Synchro summon will not count.

^That's a bit vague. Synchro Summons will most certainly trigger/count towards effects that look for Special Summons - case in point, Bottomless Trap Hole, which can respond to a Synchro Summon because it is a kind of Special Summon.

Special Summon is the default, and then you have special types, like Fusion Summon and Synchro Summon. Anything that looks for a Special Summon, will trigger from any of those. However if it only triggers from a Synchro Summon, then only a Synchro Summon will do, not a regular Special Summon.

How do you Synchro Summon 'Black Rose Dragon'?

You Synchro Summon it with Tuner monsters and Non Tuner monsters that adds up to the level of the Black Rose Dragon. Since BRD is Lv7 you need monsters that would add up to that number.


Can you attack with one monster then tribute him for another monster and then attack with the new one in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Tribute summons are performed in the main phases, as are synchro summons. So if you have an attack phase and attack with one monster, the only way you can use it as tribute for a tribute summon (or send it for a synchro summon) is to enter Main Phase 2. If you do this, then you won't be able to declare an attack with the new monster since you have left the battle phase. The only thing you could do really is use an effect that can Special summon while you are still in the battle phase.

What are good synchro monsters?

i prefer fusion I would say Synchro monsters. They are new and improve and much way better then most Fusion monster. It really don't matter but I say Fusion monsters are kinda old and too simple in summoning stronger monsters. Synchro monsters in the other hand are like future way of summoning monters and give it that new way. The only thing that make Fusion cards a little ok is the Elemental Heros cards. If you compare them both I know you stick with the Synchro monster.

How can you return synchro monsters from your graveyard to the field?

You are allowed to use Monster Reborn and similar cards, under most circumstances. The important thing is that the Synchro Monster must have been properly special summoned first. If the Synchro Monster ever goes to the graveyard without being properly summoned by Synchro Summon (ie, Starlight Road can do this) then the Synchro Monster cannot be revived like that. Similarly, if a Synchro Monster had its summon negated, it also can't be brought back from the graveyard. Last thing to consider is some might say "cannot be special summoned except by Synchro Summon" meaning the only way to summon it is by Synchro Summon, there is no other way, even if it was properly summoned first.

Is Gaia Knight the Force of Earth a Normal Monster?

Gaia Knight the Force of Earth is considered a Synchro monster, when it is summoned that summon is considered a special summon, and as long as he is on the field he is still a Synchro monster. The only thing different about Gaia Knight is that he has no effect so he is not effected by cards such as Curse of Anubis.

Is upperdeck bringing out new types of yugioh cards called Synchro Psychic and tuner monsters?

yes, Synchro Monsters are new cards that when having the right cards on the field allows you to synchro summon them from your extra deck(fusion deck). Psychic is a new type of mpnster that have effects that negate cards through monster effects by paying lifepoints, and some give you life points. Tuner monsters are considered normal and effect monsters and when on the field allows you to release(sacrifice) one tuner monster and one or more non-tuner monsters that allow you to synchro summon a synchro monster from your deck. Example: I have a face up Junk Synchron(Tuner) Lv. 3 and a face up defense speed warrior(Non-tuner) Lv. 2. I release both to synchro summon Junk Warrior Lv. 5. So basically you release a tuner and a non-tuner whose stars add up to the level of the synchro monster you want to summon. One more thing there are new rules as well. First off, 40 cards are the minimum amount of cards you can have and 60 is the max. Second, some terms have been changed; sacrifice is changed to release, tribute summon is changed to advance summon, and fusion deck is changed to advance summon. The third rule is that instead of having 15 cards even in your side deck, you can have 14 or even one. So its not set to a certain number but no more than 15. The last rule is that you can only have 15 cards in your extra deck and you can't go over that limit. Sucks for elemental heroes, i mean they weren't that good before but this just kills the people that like to use lots of fusion.


Can you use machina soldier for special summoning machina fortress?

Machine Soldier can special summon Machina Fortress, as it is a Machina monster. Machina Fortress has an inbuilt special summon method, but this is a 'you can' and not a 'can only' thing, it can be special summoned by other effects if you wish. Since Machina Soldier is a machine, you are also allowed to use it to pay towards Machina Fortress's own special summon cost.


What do the stars on Yu-Gi-Oh cards mean?

The stars are the monster's Level. If you want to Normal Summon a monster of Lv5 or 6, then you must Tribute Summon it by tributing a monster from your side of the field. If the monster is Lv7 or more, you must tribute two monsters. Levels have little effect in-game, they only have an effect when another effect specifically looks at them. So Burden of the Mighty looks at a monster's level to determine how much ATK loss it suffers. The most important thing Level does is how it works with Synchro Summoning. To Synchro Summon a monster, generally you must send a Tuner, and one or more non-Tuners (some rare cases allow more than one Tuner, others require specific components) with combined level equal to the level of the Synchro Monster. So Lv8 Stardust Dragon could be summoned using Lv2 Krebons + Lv6 Destiny Hero Malicious.


Yu-GI-oh is set summon the same thing as normal summon?

Setting is similar, yet not identical to normal summoning. a normal summon is when you Summon a monster onto the field in face-up attack position, whereas a set is when you normal summon a monster in face-down defense position. When a monster is set, it is not yet considered a summoned monster.
