Okay, this came up when I was building my deck and trying to figure out things with it.

I play Summoner of Illusions face down, my opponent attacks - does the card flip up and effect activates before the card is destroyed? Or is the card destroyed before the tribute can be made?

If effect works, then...

On my field I have say.. Lord of D.

I tribute those two (Summoner of Illusions + Lord of D.)to summon Five Headed Dragon.

At the end of the turn, the card is destroyed.

Next I summon Decoy Dragon, End turn.

Opponent turn, they attack Decoy Dragon

-- Is it possible for Decoy Dragon to bring back the Five-Headed Dragon?

Thanks!

Flip Effects activate after Damage Calculation - that is, they activate after the flipped monster would be destroyed by battle. "Summoner of Illusions" is flipped, then destroyed, and then you Tribute.
"Summoner of Illusions" only Tributes one monster and only Special Summons one monster. It does not Tribute itself.
"Summoner of Illusions" does not Fusion Summon the monster; it is only a Special Summon. "Five-Headed Dragon" can only be Special Summoned by a Fusion Summon, so "Summoner of Illusions" cannot Special Summon it.
The monster Special Summoned by "Summoner of Illusions" is not considered to be properly Special Summoned (since Fusion Monsters are Special Summoned by a Fusion Summon), so the Fusion Monster cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard afterwards.
