It can be performed whenever the in an open [[game state]] is open during the player's [[Main Phase]]. To perform a Normal Summon, simply play the player plays a monster directly from your their [[hand]] into an open available [[Monster Card 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.

A === Normal Summon or Summoning Gemini monsters again ===[[Gemini monster]]s are a type of monster that are treated as [[Normal SetMonster]] s on the field, but can only be attempted once 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, even if the Gemini monster is Level 5 or higher, no Tributes are required to Normal Summon gets it again. This Normal Summon can be [[negate]]d by a card like "[[Forced Back]]". Card effects like that of "[[Double any other Summon]]" can allow multiple Normal Summon attempts per turn.

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 as Summoning with a card effect ==={{Main|Performs a [[cost]]. A Normal Summon performed this way is known }}Some card effects, such as a "[[Tribute SummonUltimate Offering]]. ", can perform Normal Summoning a Level 5 or 6 monster requires one Tribute, while Level 7 and higher monsters require two TributesSummons immediately after their resolution.

== Interactions with effects ==* While monsters can normally only be Normal Summoned in face-up Attack Position, "[[Special Summon MonsterLight of Intervention]]s cannot " allows monsters to be Normal Summoned, as stated in their card textface-up Defense Position. You also cannot * Card effects can change the [[Allows multiple Normal Summons|base amount of Normal Summons]] (or [[Allows multiple Tribute Summons|Tribute Summons]]) the player can conduct in one turn. (e.g. "[[Double Summon monsters during your opponent's ]]")* Card effects can increase the amount of Normal Summons the player can conduct in one turn, unless you control a card like in addition to the base amount of Normal Summons. All such effects are "You can only gain this effect [[Ultimate Offeringonce per turn]]"effects, and do not stack with each other, but they do stack with changes to base amount of Normal Summons. (e.g."[[Gem-Knight Seraphinite]]")
