yu gi oh, can you tribute summon the same turn you normal summoned?

Question

So I was once told if I normal summoned a monster, then sacrificed it the same turn, I could tribute summon a stronger monster, but I've recently been told you can't do that, and that you have to wait a turn to be able to sacrifice the normal summoned monster.

Whats the truth? I went to the wiki, and it says how to tribute summon, but not the answer to my query.

Answer 1

A Tribute Summon IS in fact a Normal Summon, and you can only Normal Summon Once per turn.

When Tributing for a Level 5 or higher monster Without a summoning condition, this is a Normal Summon.



You can Special Summon in a turn as many times as the opportunity arises.

In order to Special Summon you must first pay the cost or have the effect of another card active which summons the monster.



By pay the cost i mean, fulfill the summoning conditions in which the card needs to meet.



Exp:

Lets say you have an empty field, and your opponent controls a monster, you can Special Summon a "Cyber Dragon" from your hand.

Because the cards summoning conditions have been met.



If you have a Light & Dark monster in the graveyard, By banishing them, you will had paid the cost to Special Summon a "Chaos Sorcerer" from your hand within the same turn you Special Summoned "Cyber Dragon"



If you have the "The Tricky", you can pay its costs by discarding a card to the grave and special summon it from your hand, within the same turn you summoned both "Cyber Dragon" and "Chaos Sorcerer"



None of these care considered Normal Summon, so you still can Summon a monster from your hand. You can in fact use this time to Tribute summon as your normal summon for that turn, by tributing a special summoned monster.



Spell & Traps like Monster ReBorn and Call of the Haunted are also a special summon.



There are some cards that are Special Summon, Tribute Summon monsters, like Toon monsters.

Where you can keep tribute summoning in the same turn but these are still considered special summons.



By The Way, Any summon from you Extra Deck is Considered a Special Summon.



Hope This Helps.

Answer 2

According to Yugioh rules you only get 1 normal summon per turn unless otherwise designated by an effect. Also, any normal summon, set, or tribute summon, constitutes a normal summon for a turn. Once this is done, the only available tribute type summoning is a tribute summon in the type of a special summon. What I mean by this is that there are some cards that can be special summoned by tributing monsters, could be specific monsters or just monsters, and then summoned. This is not a tribute summon but a special summon which says tribute in it's description of what it needs to be summoned.

A tribute summon is a summon where a level 5 or higher monster, in your hand, requires the sacrifice of 1 or more monsters, depending on the level, and you sacrifice as many needed monsters for the tribute summon in order for that monster to be summoned. An example would be Dark Magician. Being a 7 star monster it requires two tributes so you'd designate the two monsters on your field you want to be tributed and then you summon out Dark Magician.

Then the only way to summon would be to special summon, unless a card effect allows for something else.

Alright, hope this helps. Good luck.



Last thing, I have a question of my own I'd like duelists to add to, if they choose. Here it is:

I'll have it up for a little longer. I'm hoping to find skilled duelists who've played longer and see what they advise. All duelists, regardless of skill, are welcome to answer. This will be educational, possibly, for different people reading.

Answer 3

1) Unless a card effect does otherwise, you are allowed 1 Normal Summon per turn.

2) Tribute Summons are treated as Normal Summons.



With those two points in mind, that means during your turn, you are allowed either a Normal OR Tribute Summon. If you Normal Summon, you cannot Tribute Summon. If you Tribute Summon, you cannot Normal Summon.



Edit:

You obviously weren't reading very hard if you read the wiki.



Tribute Summon wiki:

A Tribute Summon (called Advance Summon (アドバンス召喚, Adobansu Shōkan) in the OCG, previously called Sacrifice Summon) is a form of Normal Summoning a Level 5 or higher monster by Tributing another monster(s) you control. Level 5 and 6 require one Tribute, while Level 7 and higher require two Tributes.



Key phrase:

"a form of Normal Summoning"



Normal Summon wiki:

"A Normal Summon can only be conducted once per turn"

Answer 4

Tribute Summon

Answer 5

You can only do a Normal Summon OR Tribute Summon in one turn.

so if you normal summon level 4 or lower monster this turn, you must wait until your next turn to tribute summon level 5 / level 6 monster.



But you can Special Summon as many as you can in one turn.

Answer 6

You normal summon, no more summoning unless it's a special summon.



You then either normal summon again or you tribute that 1 monster.



If you normal summoned again, you now can either normal summon once more or tribute those 2 monsters.
