[[File:DoubleSummon-MADU-EN-VG-artwork.png|thumb|"[[Double Summon]]"]]A '''Normal Summon''' (通常召喚 {{ruby|通|つう}}{{ruby|常|じょう}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Tsūjō Shōkan''"Normal Summon", somtimes or simply called {{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Shōkan''"Summon''' in [[OCG]]") is the most common a way to [[Summon]] a [[Normal Monster|Normalmonster]]s and some [[Effect Monster]]s. It can '''''only''''' be performed when the [[game state]] is ''open'' during your [[Main Phase]]. You simply '''play''' from a monster directly from your [[hand]] onto the [[Monster Card Zone]] '''''inplayer''''' [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]]. [[Gemini monster]]s '''''can''''' be Normal Summoned [[Gemini Summon|second timehand]] while they are face-up on the field.
[[Special Summon Monster]]s cannot be Normal Summoned, as stated in their card text, and neither can [[Ritual Monster]]s.
=== Tribute Summon ===
{{Main|Tribute Summon}}
In order to Normal Summon a [[Level]] 5 or higher monster from the hand, the player must [[Tribute]] monster(s) they [[control]]. This is a type of Normal Summon called a [[Tribute Summon]]. Normal Summoning a Level 5 or 6 monster requires one Tribute, while Level 7 and higher monsters require two Tributes.
=== Normal Summoning Gemini monsters again ===
[[Gemini monster]]s are a type of monster that are treated as [[Normal Monster]]s on the field, but can be treated as Effect Monsters and gain their effects if they are Normal Summoned again while already face-up on the field. This counts as the player's one Normal Summon/Set per turn. However, if the Gemini monster is Level 5 or higher, no Tributes are required to Normal Summon it again. This Normal Summon can be [[negate]]d like any other Summon.
=== Normal Summoning with a card effect ===
{{Main|Performs a Normal Summon}}
Some card effects, such as "[[Ultimate Offering]]", can perform Normal Summons immediately after their resolution.
== Interactions with effects ==
* While monsters can normally only be Normal Summoned in face-up Attack Position, "[[Light of Intervention]]" allows monsters to be Normal Summoned in face-up Defense Position.
* Card effects can change the [[Allows multiple Normal Summons|base amount of Normal Summons]] (or [[Allows multiple Tribute Summons|Tribute Summons]]) the player can conduct in one turn. (e.g. "[[Double Summon]]")
* Card effects can increase the amount of Normal Summons the player can conduct in one turn, in addition to the base amount of Normal Summons. All such effects are "You can only gain this effect [[once per turn]]" effects, and do not stack with each other, but they do stack with changes to base amount of Normal Summons. (e.g. "[[Gem-Knight Seraphinite]]")
