'''Synchro Monsters''' (Japanese: シンクロモンスター ''Shinkuromonsutā'', abbreviated {{Ruby|Ｓ|シンクロ}}モンスター in [[card text]] since ''[[Duelist Alliance]]'') are a type of [[Monster Card]], first released in ''[[Starter Deck 2008]]''. The color of their card frame is white. These cards are placed in the [[Extra Deck]].

'''Synchro Monsters''' (Japanese: シンクロモンスター ''Shinkuro Monsutā'', abbreviated {{Ruby|Ｓ|シンクロ}}モンスター in [[card text]] since ''[[Duelist Alliance]]'') are a [[Monster card type|type]] of [[monster]]s that must be [[Synchro Summon]]ed. Their card frame is colored in white.
  
−
To be properly Special Summoned, Synchro Monsters must first be [[Synchro Summon]]ed. If they leave the Extra Deck without being Synchro Summoned, they cannot be Special Summoned while they are banished or in the Graveyard.
+
==Characteristics==
 +
Synchro Monsters are Extra Deck monsters:
 +
* They cannot exist in the [[hand]] or the [[Main Deck]]; if a Synchro Monster would be moved to the hand or Main Deck, it is returned to the Extra Deck instead.
 +
* If a Synchro Monster is not properly Special Summoned by [[Synchro Summon]] before being sent to the [[Graveyard]] or banished, it cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed from there (even by effects that [[Ignoring the Summoning conditions|ignore Summoning conditions]]).
  
−
Like other Extra Deck monsters, Synchro Monsters cannot exist in the [[hand]] or [[Main Deck]] (even with card effects). If a Synchro Monster would be moved to the hand or Main Deck, it is returned to the Extra Deck instead. If a card like "[[Transmigration Break]]" or "[[Degenerate Circuit]]" is applying, this will override the Synchro Monster's ability to return to the Extra Deck.

A [[Synchro Summon]] is the act of Summoning a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck using a Tuner monster with additional non-Tuner monsters. During the Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck by [[send]]ing monsters they control to the Graveyard (at least 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters), provided the total Level of those monsters matches exactly the Level of that Synchro Monster.

"[[XX-Saber Gottoms]]" must be Synchro Summoned using a Tuner and [[EARTH]] monsters, but it does not specify that the EARTH monsters must be non-Tuners. Therefore, up to 9 Tuner monsters can be used for its Synchro Summon.

−
==Tuner Synchro Monsters==
 
−
[[Tuner Synchro Monster]]s are Synchro Monsters that are also Tuner monsters (i.e. [Type/Synchro/Tuner]). Such monsters typically have effects that make Synchro Summoning easier, such as "[[T.G. Wonder Magician]]" and "[[Phonon Pulse Dragon]]"; the former allows its controller to Synchro Summon during the opponent's turn and the latter manipulates its own Level.
 
  
−
==Playing style==
+
A very small number of Synchro Monsters cannot be Synchro Summoned, and lack the Synchro Material line on their card text. Instead, they each describe a separate Special Summoning procedure in their [[Summoning conditions]]. Such Summoning conditions can be compared to [[Contact Fusion]], which involve Special Summoning [[Fusion Monster]]s with their Summoning conditions rather than by [[Fusion Summon]]ing.
−
Synchro-focused decks usually use a large number of monsters, with swarming capabilities, to take the advantage that Synchro Summoning provide. Many of these decks have low-Level monsters to control over which Synchro Monster would be Summoned. Another common trait shared is that cards that can manipulate levels are used to further aid this tactic.
 
  
−
Strategically speaking, Synchro Monsters allow for a large amount of rapid power to be Summoned with relative ease and speed. Most of them have very potent effects in addition to their ease in Summoning.
+
"[[Black-Winged Assault Dragon]]" is the only Synchro Monster that can both be Synchro Summoned and be Special Summoned by a procedure specified in its Summoning condition.

Synchro Monsters (Japanese: シンクロモンスター Shinkuro Monsutā, abbreviated Ｓ（シンクロ）モンスター in card text since Duelist Alliance) are a type of monsters that must be Synchro Summoned. Their card frame is colored in white.

Characteristics[edit]

Synchro Monsters are Extra Deck monsters:

Synchro Materials[edit]

Main article: Synchro Material

Synchro Materials are the requisite monsters needed to Synchro Summon the Synchro Monster. Each Synchro Monster lists its required Synchro Materials in the first line of its card text.

Synchro Summoning[edit]

Main article: Synchro Summon

A Synchro Summon is the act of Summoning a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck using a Tuner monster with additional non-Tuner monsters. During the Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck by sending monsters they control to the Graveyard (at least 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters), provided the total Level of those monsters matches exactly the Level of that Synchro Monster.

Alternate Summoning Condition[edit]

Main articles: Cannot be Synchro Summoned and Can be Special Summoned either by Synchro Summon or by its own condition

A very small number of Synchro Monsters cannot be Synchro Summoned, and lack the Synchro Material line on their card text. Instead, they each describe a separate Special Summoning procedure in their Summoning conditions. Such Summoning conditions can be compared to Contact Fusion, which involve Special Summoning Fusion Monsters with their Summoning conditions rather than by Fusion Summoning.

"Black-Winged Assault Dragon" is the only Synchro Monster that can both be Synchro Summoned and be Special Summoned by a procedure specified in its Summoning condition.

Examples[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Jakob stated that mankind's excessive use of Synchro Monsters caused Ener-D to spin faster, producing more energy and thus accelerating human evolution.
  • "Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon" is the only Synchro Monster that specifies the Level of the non-Tuner monster required for its Synchro Summon.
  • In the Arabic dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Synchro Monsters were translated as "وحوش الدمج" "wohoush eldamj", and Tuners "modmej" which is the literal Arabic translation of Fusion Monsters. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, "wohoush eldamj" was reverted to Fusion Monsters, and Synchro Monsters and Tuners were left untranslated.
