#REDIRECT [[Summoning condition]]
 
 
This is a blanket Summon Condition, and forbids the card to be [[Special Summon]]ed by any means, be it from the [[hand]], [[Main Deck|Deck]], [[Graveyard]], or [[Removed from play]] pile.
 
 
 
===This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.===
 
 
 
A less harsh restriction than above, this enables cards to be Special Summoned from the hand, Deck, or Removed from Play pile, but not the [[Graveyard]]. That said, you could use [[Monster Reincarnation]] to move cards with this limitation to your [[hand]] from your [[Graveyard]].
 
 
 
===This card can only be Special Summoned by...===
 
 
 
This places a restriction on how the card must be '''first''' [[Special Summon]]ed. The card cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed by an external effect until the summoning condition has been properly fulfilled, after which, the monster in question may be summoned with cards such as [[Monster Reborn]]. If the card was sent to the [[Graveyard]] before being summoned correctly, it cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed; likewise, if the card was [[Special Summon]]ed correctly the first time, but is then sent from the field or the [[Graveyard]] back to the [[Main Deck|Deck]], the summoning conditions are then reset.  These cards are referred to as '''[[Special Summon-only monsters]]''' or sometimes incorrectly reffered to as '''[[Semi-Nomi]]''' monsters.
 
 
 
===This card cannot be Special Summoned except by...===
 
 
 
This is much like the first example, but this time, it allows the card to be Special Summoned by one effect or conditions only, and cannot be Special Summoned by cards such as [[Monster Reborn]]. [[LV|LV Monsters]] support cards (e.g. [[Level Modulation]]) get around this by including the text "ignoring the Summoning conditions" in their card text. However, even with this restriction lifted, such cards can only [[Special Summon]] monsters from the [[Graveyard]] that have been properly Summoned first. "[[Level Up!]]" is able to bypass this completely, since it [[Special Summon]]s directly from the [[Deck]].  These cards are referred to as '''[[Nomi]]''' monsters.
