'''Normal Summon''' (通常召喚 ''Tsūjō Shōkan'', somtimes simply called '''Summon''' in [[OCG]]) is the most common way to [[Summon]] [[Normal Monster|Normal]]s and some [[Effect Monstermonster]]s. It can '''''only''''' be performed when the [[game state]] is ''open'' during your [[Main Phase]]. You simply '''play''' a monster directly from your [[hand]] onto the [[Monster Card Zone]] '''''in''''' [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]]. [[Gemini monster]]s '''''can''''' be Normal Summoned [[Gemini Summon|second time]] while they are face-up on the field.
A Normal Summon can only be conducted '''once per [[turn]]''', even if it was [[negate]]d by a card like "[[Forced Back]]". A Normal Summon '''''will take up''''' your [[Normal Set]] for the turn, and vice-versa.
If the monster you want to Normal Summon from your hand is [[Level]] 5 or higher, you '''''must''''' [[Tribute]] another monster(s) you [[control]] first and then “[[Tribute Summon]]” the monster. Level 5 and 6 require one Tribute, while Level 7 and higher require two Tributes. You cannot Normal Summon [[Special Summon Monster]]s.
Some cards can change the Normal Summoning rules. For example, "[[Ultimate Offering]]" allows you Normal Summon extra monster, and it lets you Normal Summon during your opponent's [[Battle Phase]]. "[[Light of Intervention]]" will allow you to Normal Summon in [[Defense Position]].
