Editing Normal Summon

[[File:DoubleSummon-MADU-EN-VG-artwork.png|thumb|"[[Double Summon]]"]]
A '''Normal Summon''' ({{ruby|通|つう}}{{ruby|常|じょう}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Tsūjō Shōkan'' "Normal Summon", or simply {{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Shōkan'' "Summon") is a way to [[Summon]] a [[monster]] from a player's [[hand]].

In Japanese, Normal Summon/[[Normal Set|Set]] is collectively referred to as {{ruby|通|つう}}{{ruby|常|じょう}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ("Normal Summon"), while Normal Summon itself is referred to as only {{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ("Summon").

== Mechanics ==
The [[turn player]] can perform a Normal Summon during their [[Main Phase]] in an open [[game state]]. To perform a Normal Summon, the player plays a monster directly from their [[hand]] into an available [[Monster Zone]] in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]], declaring that the monster is being Normal Summoned.

The turn player can only Normal Summon or [[Normal Set]] once per [[turn]]. If a player's attempted Normal Summon is [[negate]]d, that player does not receive another Normal Summon/Set in that turn.

[[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.
* Some card effects allow a player to perform [[Allows multiple Normal Summons|multiple Normal Summons]] (or [[Allows multiple Tribute Summons|multiple Tribute Summons]]) in one turn. (e.g. "[[Double Summon]]")
