"Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord", a "Nomi" monster.

"Nomi" is an informal category of Special Summon Monsters with printed Special Summoning procedures, and which must be Special Summoned with that procedure; they cannot be Special Summoned by other effects, even after they are properly Special Summoned.

They are distinguished from Special Summon-only monsters, who also have printed Special Summoning procedures, but can be Special Summoned by effects (from public knowledge locations) once they are properly Special Summoned.

Card text[edit]

Nomi monsters are identified by the summoning condition "Must be Special Summoned by (method)" (formerly "Must be Special Summoned by (method), and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways" and "This card cannot be Special Summoned except by (method)").

In Japanese text, "Nomi" text is written as either 「○○でのみ特殊召喚できる」(XX de Nomi Tokushu Shōkan dekiru: Can only be Special Summoned by XX) or 「○○でしか特殊召喚できない」(XX de Shika Tokushu Shōkan dekinai: Cannot be Special Summoned except by XX)

Trivia[edit]

  • The name "Nomi" is named after the Japanese adverbial particle that means "only", used in one of the Japanese card texts for Nomi monsters' Summoning condition.
