A [[Synchro Summon]] is the act of Summoning a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck using a Tuner monster with additional non-Tuner monsters. During the Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck by [[send]]ing monsters they control to the Graveyard (at least 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters), provided the total Level of those monsters matches exactly the Level of that Synchro Monster. | A [[Synchro Summon]] is the act of Summoning a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck using a Tuner monster with additional non-Tuner monsters.

| − | + | "[[XX-Saber Gottoms]]" must be Synchro Summoned using a Tuner and [[EARTH]] monsters, but it does not specify that the EARTH monsters must be non-Tuners. Therefore, up to 5 Tuner monsters can be used for its Synchro Summon. | |

| + | [[Tuner Synchro Monster]]s are Synchro Monsters that are also Tuner monsters (i.e. [Type/Synchro/Tuner]); they have effects that make Synchro Summoning easier, such as "[[T.G. Wonder Magician]]" and "[[Phonon Pulse Dragon]]"; the former allows its controller to Synchro Summon during the opponent's turn and the latter manipulates its own Level and restricts other kinds of Special Summon. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Playing style== | ||
| + | Synchro-focused decks usually use a large number of monsters, with swarming capabilities, to take the advantage that Synchro Summoning provide. Many of these decks have low level monsters to control over which Synchro Monster would be Summoned. Another common trait shared is that cards that can manipulate levels are used to further aid this tactic. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Strategically speaking, Synchro Monsters allow for a large amount of rapid power to be Summoned with relative ease and speed. Most of them have very potent effects in addition to their ease in Summoning. | ||
