Link Summon

A Link Summon is the act of Special Summoning a Link Monster from the Extra Deck.

How to Link Summon

During their Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Link Summon a Link Monster from the Extra Deck by first declaring the action and then selecting the Link Monster in their Extra Deck that they intend to Link Summon. Following this, they send the requisite face-up Link Materials they control to the Graveyard, as listed on the Link Monster itself, provided that two conditions are fulfilled.

  1. The number of sent Link Materials satisfies the number of required Link Materials listed on the Link Material requirements of the Link Monster.
  2. The combined number of all sent Link Materials exactly matches the Link Number of the Link Monster. If a Link Monster is sent as a Link Material, it can be optionally treated as a number of sent Link Materials equal to its Link Number.

After that, the Link Monster is taken from the Extra Deck and placed on either an unoccupied Extra Monster Zone or Link Point in face-up Attack Position.

Example

Example A: Using only non-Link Monsters as Link Materials

Example B: Using a Link Monster's Link Number

Example C: Using a Link Monster as 1 Link Material
