Summoning condition

"Summoning" redirects here. For the action, see Summon. For the mechanics, see Summoning mechanics.

Summoning conditions refer to specific conditions that define how monsters can be Summoned.

Card text

Cannot be Summoned unless

Indicates that the monster cannot be Summoned (Normal, Flip, or Special Summon) unless the clause written after "when" is fulfilled.

They can still be Normal Set. This card text is only used on "Guardian" monsters; similar card texts are used in the Summoning conditions of "Terrorking Archfiend" and "Vaalmonica" Link Monsters in the English TCG, but not in the Japanese OCG.

• "This card can only be Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned when [clause]." → "Cannot be Summoned unless [clause]." (Introduced in Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World Mega Pack)
