If a card special summons from the removed from game zone, it will say so. So DD Survivor is one example, it special summons itself from there.
Otherwise, with cards like Interdimensional Matter Transporter, or Future Visions, the monster is simply 'returned' to the field. This is not a summon of any kind, meaning 'cannot be special summoned' monsters are not crippled by it, nor can any summon-responsive cards like Torrential Tribute be used.
A normal summon is where you just summon a monster and NOT use its effect or ability, just its ATK and DEF. A special summon is where you summon a card and use its effect or ability. You can only special summon a card if you have another card saying that you can special summon a card, you cannot just going around special summoning every monster.
Normal Summon cosmic compass and that will allow you to special a token for each monster your opponent controls and then double summon one more monster and there obelisk is out.
yes. in the official Yu-Gi-Oh! rulebook, it states that you can only normal summon once per turn, but you can special summon as many times as you can per turn.
A Fusion Summon is considered a special summon, so anything that can respond to a special summon (such as Bottomless Trap Hole) can be used against it.
No, it can't be special summoned except by Fusion Summon, even if you summon it and it is destroyed, it can't be resummoned from the graveyard. However cards like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon can be summoned with Monster Reborn, if you properly summon it first, and then it goes to the graveayrd.
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.
A Fusion Summon is a Special Summon and things that can be used against Special Summons can also be used against a Fusion Summon. But not all Special Summons are Fusion Summons, even if they do so happen to summon a Fusion Monster. For example, Cyber Stein Special Summons a fusion monster, it does not Fusion Summon it.
Yes, a Special Summon of any kind does not count towards your limit of one Normal Summon or Set per turn. You can Special Summon as many times a s you want per turn.
Not if you normal summon. if you special summon, then yes.
No one card can Special Summon any Fusion Monster. Because some Fusion Monsters specify that they "cannot be Special Summoned except by a Fusion Summon", cards like "Metamorphosis" will not be able to Special Summon them. Even "Instant Fusion" cannot Special Summon Fusion Monsters that state "This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck."
A normal summon is where you just summon a monster and NOT use its effect or ability, just its ATK and DEF. A special summon is where you summon a card and use its effect or ability. You can only special summon a card if you have another card saying that you can special summon a card, you cannot just going around special summoning every monster.
You are allowed as many Flip Summons and Special Summons you want as long as there are monster zones available. A tribute summon is counted as a normal summon, and you are only allowed one normal summon per turn.
Basically, when you special summon a monster with 1500 or less ATK with cards like marauding captain, call of the haunted, or monster reborn, you can activate this card when your opponent has a face-up monster to special summon all copies of that monster. Your opponent can special summon all copies of his monster too, but that's a rare chance IMO.
A special summon is any summon that doesn't count as a normal summon, so you can special summon as many monsters as you wish per turn. But someone can't just special summon a monster by themselves. In order to special summon a monster, there must be a card that lets you do so. For example, the card Call of the Haunted lets you special summon a monster from your graveyard. Or, a monster that lets you special summon it in some way is a special summon. Most monsters that let you special summon it have you need to have destroy or remove from play cards. For example, a monster that needs you to remove from play cards is Dark Necrofear. Dark Necrofear can only be special summoned by removing three Fiend-type monsters from your graveyard. Or, there are monsters that can be special summoned when a condition is met. For example, Tragoedia can be special summoned when you take damage. Or, there are monsters that let you special summon monsters from your deck. An example is UFO Turtle. UFO Turtle can special summon any FIRE-attribute monster from your deck with 1500 ATK or less when it is destroyed by battle. Also, Fusion Summoning, Ritual Summoning, and Synchro Summoning all count as Special Summoning.
No, unless specifically stated otherwise on the card, a monster's special summon requires it to be summoned from your hand, or in the case of Synchro and XYZ monsters, from the Extra Deck.Plaguespreader Zombie can special summon itself from the graveyard because it says it can. But you cannot use for example, the special summon requirements on Chaos Sorcerer, or an XYZ monster, while they are in the graveyard.
All Ritual Summons are considered a Special Summon. However, not all Special Summons are considered a Ritual Summon. A Ritual Summon can only be performed with a Ritual Spell Card and a Ritual Monster. A Special Summon refers to any monster that is placed on the field in a way that is not a Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Set. Also, Ritual Summons are never considered a Normal Summon.
