Lesson 15: Special Summon-Only

Subject: Lesson 15: Special Summon-Only Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:08 am

Hey everyone, Pride here. This week we've got an easier lesson on Special Summon-Only Monsters.

Special Summon-Only Monsters refer to monsters that can only be summoned by specially summoning them.

"Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned..."

The '...' above basically refers to then how that monster would then be specially summoned.

For example:

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned(from your hand) by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can activate 1 of these effects.

● Target 1 monster on the field; banish that target face-up. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect.
● During the Damage Step, if this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: It can make a second attack in a row.

As you can see, Luster requires that you fulfill some SS requirements before you're permitted to summon it.

After a Special Summon-Only Monster is originally monster, you're permitted to summon it basically like a regular monster. You could use Call of the Haunted on it to revive it from the graveyard. Or you could use Return from the Different Dimension to bring it back from the banished zone.

However, once the monster is returned to the hand or the deck, you'll be force to fulfill it's requirements for summon again. So if we were to jump back to Luster, we'd be forced to banish another light and dark attribute monster.

However, Special Summon-Only Monsters are also split in to two small subdivisions. Nomi Monsters, and Non-Nomi Monsters.

Nomi Monsters refer to a Special Summon-Only Monster, that can only be specially summoned by its' intended effect. For example:

Raviel, Lord of Phantasms

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 3 Fiend-Type monsters, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Each time your opponent Normal Summons a monster(s): Special Summon 1 "Phantasm Token" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) for each monster Summoned. These Tokens cannot declare an attack. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 monster, this card gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the Tributed monster, until the End Phase.

Raviel is a Nomi Monster because the only way to special summon it, is by tributing the 3 fiend type monsters. Even while in the graveyard after it's been summoned, activating monster reborn and targeting it won't allow it to be summoned.

Non-Nomi Monsters are just those monsters that you are permitted to summon after you specially summon them properly. (Like Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning).

You're assignment for this week is simple. Specially Summon a Nomi Monster and take a picture of it. The base start for points from now on is 100, however the more original or difficult the summon, the more points will be awarded. Good Luck!

I just want to point out a few things:
"Non-Nomi" monsters are actually called Semi-Nomi, since they cannot be Special Summoned in any way except by their own effect only once. Non-Nomi monsters would be any monsters that can be Normal Summoned, Set, and Special Summoned with no requirements.

Also, Extra Deck monsters (Fusion, Synchro and Xyz) are all Semi-Nomi monsters, unless stated otherwise. They need to first be Special Summoned properly in order to be able to be Special Summoned again. That's why a Stardust Summoned by Starlight Road cannot come back in the End Phase if you negate a card effect with it. Just wanted to make that clear since you forgot to add it.

and water dragon can be summoned more times with Bonding h2o so he's not a nomi monster.(I think)

Subject: Re: Lesson 15: Special Summon-Only Tue Oct 01, 2013 6:52 pm

well. Bonding is his summon condition. He can't be summoned with a card like CoTH.

Subject: Re: Lesson 15: Special Summon-Only Tue Oct 01, 2013 8:07 pm

Actually the shining is a nomi monster once you've summoned it and afterwards it's send to the graveyard it can not be revived by a card effect.

i didnt get to take a picture of the cards i used to summon it, DN wouldnt give me the link for the pictures.

To those of you who think i used flattop to summon it, i didnt. He cant summon FFSF unless he was summoned by SK

The person in this duel raged quit right after my turn of his summon. He was using heros :/. I dont blame him though, if he killed one the other was likely to bring it back.

3 things ... 1 not entirely sure how legit it is since you didnt offer any progress shots showing all 3 beasts summon then armytyle not doubting ya just saying a card that requires 12 cards to summon and having exactly 12 in grave seems convenient 2 the beasts need to be banished for his summon....and 3 armytile is semi nomi and can be special summoned after initial summon with cards like call of the haunted and such im a nit picker i know just saying
