Editing Tribute Summon

Any monster of [[Level]] 5 or higher requires a '''Tribute Summon''' (called Advance Summon in the OCG, previously called Sacrifice Summon). Monsters that are [[Level]] 5 or 6 require one monster to be [[Tribute]]d (called ''Release'' in OCG, previously Sacrifice), while monsters of Level 7 and higher require 2 tributes. Some high-level monsters like [[Moisture Creature]] require 3 monsters to be Tributed in order to activate an effect.

Cards like "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]" can bend the rules of Tribute Summoning by allowing you to [[pay]] [[Life Points]] instead of Tributing monsters. However, this means the Summon is then considered a [[Normal Summon]] and not a Tribute Summon.

Even if the monster is [[Tribute Set]] instead of Tribute Summoned, the correct number of Tributes must be offered. So you cannot [[Set]] a monster in order to avoid offering a Tribute.

A Tribute Summon is treated exactly as Normal Summon, except a few cards refer specifically to whether or not the card was Tribute Summoned (such as [[Monarchs]]). Normally only one Normal Summon (including Tribute Summons) can be conducted in the same turn (exceptions: see "[[Ultimate Offering]]", "[[Double Summon]]" and "[[Chain Summoning]]", etc.). This means you '''cannot''' Normal Summon or [[Set]] a low Level monster and then Tribute it immediately to Tribute Summon a high Level monster.

Tributing a monster for a Tribute Summon is a [[cost]]. Therefore, if the Tribute Summon of the new monster is negated, the Tributed monster(s) '''won't''' return to the field, but its effect '''will activate''' (if it has one that '''cannot''' [[miss the timing]]) like "[[Black Ptera]]" from the appropriate place. [[FLIP]] effects will not activate since the monster was not flipped.

-A '''Tribute Summon''' (Japanese: アドバンス{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Adobansu Shōkan'' "Advance Summon") is a form of [[Normal Summon]]ing a [[Level]] 5 or higher [[Monster Card|monster]] by [[Tribute|Tributing]] another monster(s) the player [[control]]s. Level 5 and 6 monsters require one Tribute, while Level 7 and higher require two Tributes.
-Tributing a monster for a Tribute Summon is part of a [[Summoning condition]]. Therefore, if the Tribute Summon is [[negate]]d, the Tributed monster(s) will not return to the field.

(e.g.: "[[Fog King]]", "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]") However, if no cards are Tributed to perform the Normal Summon, the Summon is not considered a Tribute Summon, unless a card specifies otherwise (such as "[[Tribute Burial]]").
