An '''Xyz Summon''' (pronounced ik-seez<ref name="SD11">{{citeweb|url=http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/products/starter2011.html|title=Starter Deck: Dawn of the Xyz|publisher=[[Konami]]}}</ref>; Japanese:{{ruby|Ｘ|エクシーズ}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Ekushīzu Shōkan, '', abbreviated {{ruby|Ｘ|エクシーズ}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} in [[card text]] before since ''[[Duelist Alliance]]'') is the act of [[Special Summon]]ing an [[Xyz Monster]] from the [[Extra Deck]] by overlaying at least 2 monsters with the same [[Level]].
==How to Xyz Summon==
During their [[Main Phase 1]] or [[Main Phase 2|2]], the [[turn player]] can Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster from the Extra Deck by first declaring the action and then selecting the Xyz Monster in their Extra Deck that they intend to Xyz Summon. Following this, they stack the requisite [[Xyz Material]]s on top of each other in a single [[Main Monster Zone]] that is a [[Link Point]] or an [[Extra Monster Zone]], as listed on the Xyz Monster itself (which include at least 2 monsters with a Level that matches the Xyz Monster's [[Rank]]). After that, the Xyz Monster is taken from the Extra Deck and placed on top of the stack of Xyz Materials in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position|Attack]] or [[Defense Position]].
Prior to [[Master Rules|Master Rule]] 4, a monster could be Xyz Summoned to any [[Monster Zone]].

==Advanced rulings==
* An Xyz Summon is a kind of [[Special Summon#Built-in Special Summon|built-in Special Summon]], like [[Contact Fusion]], [[Pendulum Summon]], [[Synchro Summon]] or the Special Summon of a monster like "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]", therefore it does not start a [[Chain]].
* Xyz Materials currently [[attach]]ed to an Xyz Monster are neither treated as [[monsters]], nor treated as being on the field.
* [[Trap Monster]]s and [[Pseudopseudo-Trap Monster]]s can be used as Xyz Materials, but not [[Token Monster]]s, as Tokens cannot be in any state other than being on the field.
* The [[battle position]]s of the Xyz Materials do not matter, as long as they are all face-up. However, once you have Xyz Summoned your Xyz Monster, ensure that the entire stack is neatly aligned in face-up Attack Position, regardless of which [[Battle position]] the Xyz Monster is currently in.
