As this summon is on resolution of an Ignition Effect, Worm Yagan can only special summon itself in your own main phases.

In general, only monsters with a Trigger (ie, ones that say 'when/if' something happens) can special summon themselves in the opponent's turn. So Gorz and Battle Fader can, and Pyramid Turtle can summon something in the opponent's turn too. However things like Dark Armed Dragon, or Plaguespreader Zombie, cannot.

Can you special summon megarock dragon during your opponents turn?

Unless specifically stated otherwise, by either directly saying so, or the effect is spell speed 2, then a special summon can only be performed in your own turn. Megarock Dragon can only be special summoned by its own effect in your own turn.


Can Scrap Orthros special summon itself from the graveyard?

No. The special summon text of cards like Scrap Orthros only apply while the card is in hand, unless stated otherwise.


Can you divine wrath Cyber Dragon when it is summoned due it to be an effect of special summon?

No, Divine Wrath can only be used against effects that activate. Most of the time, when a monster has a way to special summon itself, this is an inherent special summon, just like a normal summon, it does not use the chain. Because it doesn't use the chain, you can't chain an effect negation card to it, though you can use summon negation cards like Solemn Judgment. If the special summon is an activated effect (like Dandylion's effect to special summon tokens, or Gorz's effect to summon himself) then these can be stopped using Divine Wrath. But Cyber Dragon's special summon cannot.


Do you have to have exactly 3 Dark monsters in your Graveyard to special summon Dark Armed Dragon?

Unless specifically stated otherwise, a monster special summon method is for when it is in the hand only. So Treeborn Frog special summons itself from the graveyard because the effect says so. But Cyber Dragon special summons from hand - even though it does not say so, the hand is the default zone, it cannot special summon itself from the gfraveyard. Likewise, Hardened Armed Dragon must be in your hand to use its special summon effect.


Is a ritual summon considered a special summon?

When can you special summon a monster?

When a card that says you can Special Summon a card, and specifies from where. For example: Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, can Special Summon itself from the Graveyard during your Main Phase, by returning 1 face-up Dark World monster back to your hand. Or if it's a Synchro or Xyz Monster, then those monsters have to be Special Summoned by their own Summoning mechanic, in which read Synchro Summons, and Xyz Summons. There is no limit on how many times you can Special Summon, so if you have a lot of cards that can Special Summon a lot, go nuts.

Can you special summon Lava Golem to your side of the field in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Lava Golem's own special summon effect can only special summon itself to the opponent's side of the field. Like other 'can only be special summoned by..' monsters, if you summon it correctly, and it is then destroyed, it can be brought back to the field by cards like Monster Reborn. In Lava Golem's case, it will be special summoned to your side of the field if you do this.

Yu Gi Oh Question If the star dust dragon went to the opponents graveyard because of his effect can you special summon it from your opponents graveyard using monster reborn on your turn?
