Cards on the field are treated as monsters if and only if they are in a Monster Zone. Monster Cards on the field are not treated as monsters if they are in other zones (such as the [[Spell & Trap Zone]]). Likewise, [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s in the Monster Zones are treated as monsters (though prior to the Master Rule 2020 Revision, [[Trap Monster]]s that still treat themselves as a Trap Card after Summon took up both 1 Monster Zone and 1 Spell & Trap Zone at the same time). [[Xyz Material]]s are not considered to be in a Monster Zone. | Cards on the field are treated as monsters if and only if they are in a Monster Zone.

A monster cannot be Summoned unless there is an appropriate Monster Zone to Summon that monster in, unless performing its Summon would cause an appropriate Monster Zone to become available. For example, even if all of a player's [[Main Monster Zone]]s are occupied, that player can still [[Tribute Summon]] a monster to their field as long as they [[Tribute]] at least one monster in their Main Monster Zones. Likewise, even if the opponent controls monsters in both [[Extra Monster Zone]]s due to achieving an [[Extra Link]], the player can still Summon a monster to an Extra Monster Zone as long as one of the Extra Monster Zones becomes available when performing the Summon (such as by using a monster in an Extra Monster Zone as [[material]]). | A monster cannot be Summoned unless there is an appropriate Monster Zone to Summon that monster in, unless performing its Summon would cause an appropriate Monster Zone to become available.
