For those of you who want to know about the summons mentioned at 8:02 : - Gemini Monters are summoned as regular monsters, but while on the field they can be summoned again to activate an effect. This counts as a normal summon, not a special one, so it takes up your one summon for the turn. - Contact Fusion is a type of Fusion that requires all monsters involved in the fusion to be on the field, but it does not require Polymerization or a similar card. - Transformation Fusion is a type of fusion that turns one monster into another: think of it as a one-monster Fusion summoning. These require their own special Spell cards instead of Polymerization. - Accel Synchro Summoning is like regular Synchro Summoning, except both monsters involved have to be Synchro Monsters themselves. - Delta Accel Synchro Summoning requires at least three Synchro Monsters instead of the regular two. - Limit Over Accel Synchro Summoning is the same as Delta Accel Synchro Summoning, except it's got a different name (which it got from the anime). - Double Tuning is Synchro Summoning, except both monsters need to be Tuner monsters. - Dark Synchro Summoning has you _substract_ the level of a Dark Tuner monster from a non-Tuner monster. The resulting number is called a Negative Level: this is the level at which you can summon a Dark Synchro Monster as if it were a regular Synchro Monster. - XYZ Evolution exists in two forms: either you overlay the XYZ Evolution monster over a specific monster (mentioned on the XYZ Evolution card) or you use a Spell that lets you overlay the XYZ Evolution Monster over an existing XYZ monster. In both cases the Materials still attached to the original XYZ Monster (as well as the monster itself) attach to the XYZ Evolution Monster as Materials. And that should be all of them... as long as nobody asks about Phantom Synchro, Cross XYZ, Overscale Pendulum, Integration Summoning or Dimension Summoning.
Let's do these as well then. - Phantom Synchro is a Synchro Summon where the monster is summon from the Graveyard instead of the extra deck. - Cross Xyz Summon is an Xyz Summon where one of the monsters involved is an Xyz monster, whose Rank is used as a Level for Xyz Summoning purposes. - Overscale Pendulum is a Pendulum Summon where it doesn't matter what scales you have in your Pendulum Zones, used for summoning very low-level monsters. - Transcendent Pendulum Summon is a Pendulum Summon where the sum of the two Pendulum Scales exceeds the Transcendent monster's level, the opposite of Overscale. - Integration Summon is a type of Summon that lets you Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck that can be summoned in no other way. - Dimension Summon is used in a special Dimension Duel (name not official) where you deplete your Spirit gague to summon a monster for free, but powering up a monster summoned this way requires extra investment from your Spirit gauge and if a monster summoned this way is destroyed this way, instead of taking regular battle damage you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK/DEF (depending on its position at the time). Note that all of these are manga, anime and movie only.
Beriorn literally none of the mechanics you lost in either of your comments are real. All these things even ones like "Accel Synchro" are only character names for the anime lore about them. In real life, it's all just regular synchro summoning mechanics.

Decided to make this video as a fun project, turned out ok. I know that i literally talk about the bare bones of each of the summoning types, as well i'm not even that savvy on pendulums still XD but i hope you find some enjoyment out of this video regardless. Let me know what you though and leave any additional info on each of the summoning types below! ALSO What is your favourite summoning type and why?!?
TGS Anime My favorite is fusion because fusion master race. Also I love how you used a bunch of Normal monsters basically saying I have no use for these so let's make one
Now, from all the added forms of summoning: Synchros, I can get behind. Pretty simple really, you just do the same as an on-field ritual summon but the ritual is instead a Tuner-typed monster you control and you don´t need the synchro-monster to be drawn since it´s extra-deck. Xyz, alright. It´s basically just another idea of the same concept rituals and synchros follow, with more focus on monster-level, like rituals. Also, once again it´s extra-deck, so no searching for Xyz-monsters required. Pendulum. Pendulum seems so over-complicated and convoluted in a way that makes normal players never wanna use them. I heard someone say "I tried a pendulum-deck once in the OCG, and it just went and played itself. My friend was asking what I did, and I only answered I don´t know." This summons (heh, summon) up perfectly what Pendulums are all about. Confusing your opponent to a point where he doesn´t know when to activate a possible counter, OR, if he knows about them, just spamming multiple monsters and doing stupidly long card-combos with effects that most of the time result in an OTK.
I lost 7 duels to Pendulum decks before I understood them and half believed people were just screwing with my head. Then I realized the whole thing could not only be stopped by anything that negates special summons, but even Mystical Space Typhoon would just put a kibosh to it since they'd have to reset their scales. I also realzied 3 of those duels I lost I could have easily stopped things. So once I got it, I begrudgingly accepted this. Ironically, I think I would have got it if I was caught up to the anime at that time. I'm not a huge fan of some of the more powerful XYZ monsters, but this is less due to the mechanic and more the fact that I feel like they are giving away too many non destruction removals like candy when it should be harder to get into. I'd be equally upset if they put effects of some of the more busted XYZ monsters on a main deck monster that can be special summoned from the graveyard. Now what I really hate are link summons. This isn't because they are too complicated. This is because the materials are too generic. Some of them are ridiculous things are "two effect monsters." All these link summons being too easy has many implications. One, you don't need to carefully manage levels of monsters you summon like you do with Synchros. Two, targeting cards that cause a negative effect on your opponent's monsters are neutralized just by using them as materials and unlike a tribute summon, this can be done more than once per turn, unlike a ritual summon this doesn't need a card in the hand to help, and unlike a Synchro summon, you don't need a type of monster (tuner) to help with that. Three, splashing monsters outside of archetype is way easier. Three, defense position mechanics don't work. Like I wish they just said any link monster in defense position is destroyed by game mechanic instead of just not allowing them to change. And don't get me started on link monsters which can be summoned by tokens. I don't mind the Sky Strikers since their materials are archetype specific. I understand the need to summon link monsters for those arrows, but I think link monster with good on field effects should be harder to summon requiring something like "Archetype Specific Card + Type (Say Spellcaster, Dragon, Machine, whatever)" or if they want it generic "Three of type" and not "two effect monsters."
mvpxtomahawkzz They actually changed that rule in Arc-V, they mentioned that Gongenzaka (I think) had to set one of his monsters because you can't summon in face-up defence mode.
Well, Its the anime. In the anime, you can use "Dark Magic Curtain" to summon a Dark Magician, but your opponent can also summon if they have, and your opponent can also summon Dark Magician Girl if possible. In RL however, only you get this effect; but you can only summon Dark Magician, nothing else than Dark Magician.
Apart from regular conditionnal Special Summons, Synchro summon has always felt like the best designed summon to me. It came out at a time where lower-lvl monsters had few reasons to be played (if not « this guy is a whatever-tribe, so you need to run this to do whatever with the other whatever-tribe guys in your deck »), does make sense in term of board and ressources (you’re not dumping your whole hand into a ridiculously broken guy, but rather piling up your smaller guys into something that challenges the board), and incentivizes decision-making and complex lines of play (since you usually have different versatile Synchro monsters at each level and can pull off nice lines of play if you can recur your smaller guys). So well designed that it actually worked pretty immediatly without Konami having to release absurd support or cheat-into-play cards like with Ritual and Fusion. Xyz seems fine, though I’m less excited about « how do I get 2 5-stars on the board ? » than « how do I manage to assemble a 8-star guy with my 3-stars guy and my 2-stars tuner in hand ? » Pendulum just seems dumb. I imagine the pendulum-based decks are more intelligent than they seem and build a board or various monsters with synergestic effects rather than a bunch of mid-sized hitters, but still : either your game is 80% based on your opening hand, or they’re continuously releasing broken tribe-based tutoring effects to carry such a level of hand-dumping. It also seems pretty clear that Konami’s original game design has been thrown away long ago considering how normal and tribute summon seem like a joke today.
Jotaro summon: Once per duel if your LP are lower than your opponent, you can summon your bare hands in attack mode. If you do that, you can do the ORAORAORAORAORAORA in the face of your opponent, take his/her cards and automatically win the duel.
Spell Card - Rage of the Joestar's. If you have "Star Platinum" or "The World" on your field: You can target 1 "Star Platinum" or 1 "The World" from your deck or graveyard, then target 1 "Star Platinum" or 1 "The World" in your field; you can tribute them, then Special Summon 1 "Star Platinum: The World" from your Extra Deck (This also counts as Fusion Summon)
Star Platinum: The World - Spirit/Effect/Fusion "Star Platinum" + "The World" Must be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Materials and cannot be special summoned by other ways. Once per turn, during either players turn, when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap card or effect: Negate the Activation, and if you do, destroy it. When this card attacks, you can Stop Time, and attack all monsters your opponent controls. If this face up card were to leave the field by battle or card effect: Stop Time, evade thr effect. If this card leaves the field by battle or card effect: Special Summon 1 "Star Platinum" and 1 "The Wolrd" from your hand, deck or Graveyard, ignoring their summoning conditions. ATK/4500 DEF/4500

Ah, the memories... I used to play this game a lot when I was a kid and I stopped when the synchro monsters came out. Sometimes I regret having spent so much money on it and I think about selling my old cards, but then I remember all the fun I had and how much I cherished them, so I'm keeping them as a memento of the good ol' days.
I am actually a 12 year old boy with ADHD and I love yugioh. Before watching this my only experience with rules was from season 1 and half of season 2. Then I watched a couple of gameplays and found all about these new methods, originally I wanted to read the rules of the website but with my ADHD I knew I couldn’t pay attention. So I looked up on TH-cam how to do these things and found this. I thought the title sounded funny so I clicked on the vid and found it to be more helpful than I first thought it would be! Thank you so very much for your help! May the heart of the cards be with you!
Pendulum summoning seems broken AF. When I used to play years ago they just left the game at fusion and ritual summoning. Seemed simple enough to follow and pick up of you were watching or new to the game. I'm a more of a minimalist. I think the game should try to stick more to its roots and fundamental mechanics. You start adding all these extra mechanics and it just starts to make the game messy in my opinion. You know it's getting to that point when they have to keep altering the playing board/mat to accommodate new things.
Slow and predictable? LOL slow, maybe, but it was fun to play, and predictable only if you were playing with 5 year olds, nowadays it seems more predictable and less fun, like "Oooh this guy just throw a bunch of special summons, well, this is over, gg" wich makes it even more predictable as you are pretty much forced to do that kind of stuff to remain competitive and also makes it less fun as is just a matter of "who will engage in the summoning loop before the other wins" mechanic.
Jeez. They made YuGiOh way too over complicated for the casual players. Maybe that's why duel links is popular right now. It was smart of them to go back to a more simple YuGiOh.
pendulum is the only complicated one, synchro is just fusion and ritual put together and XYZ is just summoning with monsters that have the same level not that fucking complicated learn to adapt.
I can still remember how my first duel looks like (with a bro): Bro: You got two level 4 monsters in your field. I lend you a xyz monster so try xyz? I : I overlay those two mosters to summon No.39 Utopia... Bro : Nice try. Bottomless trap hole.
Good vid, but you should've mentioned a few more things: Ritual and fusion summons can use face down monsters on the field, while synchro and XYZ can't. Some ritual\fusion cards allow you to use cards from the graveyard. Also, you can set as many pendulum scales as you want, as long as you have the cards and can clear the pendulum zones to place new cards there.
Obviously I’m here cause Iv been away for a long time and man I’ve tried so hard to understand a lot of this but I just couldn’t get it. Clicked your video hopelessly saying “this might help” and 8 minutes later I feel like I know more now than ever thanks man
As a seasoned yugi boomer who stopped before xyz, synchro, pendulum and link summons I appreciate this. Still putting in work on master duel with my traditional gameplay. Ps the black luster soldier is truly the icon ritual summon.
Me: Yeah I love my rituals and fusions! Oh ok synchro summoning I'll try to learn Omg synchros are overpowered enough xyz better be the last style of summoning Pendulum summoning(stops playing yugioh) Link summoning how am I still alive??
Agreed. A lot of synchro are o.p. and can result in a one turn k.o. that's why I stick to my own deck and shun those who use the same old b.s. everyone else uses.
As for pendulum summon: the best scale is 0-13 (meaning you can summon any monster that can be special summoned with this method), the worst scale is matching numbers or one scale is +1 of the other (example: 1-1 or 2-3 will not let you summon any monster)
Love these videos! Some friends and I are just getting back into yugioh and stumbled upon this video after one (very unsuccessful and confusion-filled) duel on our own. We now know that many many mistakes were made and more practice is needed, lol. Great job on the video!
You didn't mention that Pendulum Monsters are played the same way as any regular/effect monster in the Monster Card zone and therefore still fall under the same summoning requirements to summon stronger monsters as the others and that in the Pendulum Zone, that monster's spell effect is activated and it's the only way to activate said effect, rather then play the monster in the spell/trap card zone as per normal.
It's true that he didn't mention those two aspects of pendulum monsters, however the point of the video was to explain the basic types of summoning, not basic types of cards in general.
@@David315842 yes, pendulums are part of the game, but the topic of the videos is a basic explanation of how various types of summoning work, not to explain every aspect of every type of card related to summoning. I'm sure if this video was a guide to every type of card, he would've explained how pendulum monsters work. This is also an "idiot's guide" so it was only meant to be a basic explanation of summoning types. You're expecting more of this video than it was intended to be.
@@seandobbins2231Not really, it wouldn't have taken that much time to explain the mechanics and regardless of what you think at least 16 other people agree with me. So that's that really. In our opinion, the video could have done more to explain things.
the cyber dragon deck was probably my favorite of the GX era due to how you could get powerful cards out easily and that it had the potential to destroy your opponent in a single turn.
You guys are honestly idiots then. The golden age of yugioh was the early Edison format up until Ravine Rulers and any objective player from your time who stuck around would agree that was when the game was at its best
xxxtensioncord the game progressively got worse with Links and Pendulums. Xyz was a neutral thing. But Synchros actually made the game good and quite frankly anyone who thinks they're cool for not liking them is dumb af
You mean the game where anything with a level lower than 4 was usually shit, and it was all about getting the biggest and baddest monster out first? I believe that’s some nostalgia on your eyes, it’s good in a reasonable amount, but not that much
monsters attached to xyz monsters are called xyz materials, also you cannot pendulum summon xyz monsters unless a card say you can because they have ranks but pendulums deals with levels
Yugi: * plays Dark Magician * Joey: “Don’t you need to tribute monsters to summon that card?” Yugi: “Quiet Joey, we haven’t reached that season of the series yet!” Also I don’t know why I’m watching this video. I already know about every summoning type.
Dude, I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh beginner, and a well-timed pendulum summon just...yeets every big monster you have onto the field, and watching your opponent die inside as you seal your victory. Love it.
Thank god man. Last time i played Yu-Gi-Oh the only existing special summons were ritual and fusion xD Wanted to kill some time with tag force and i was like "wtf is going on? HELP!" Thx for the explanation 👍
No monster requires three monsters for a tribute summon unless specified otherwise. Ex: The Winged Dragon of Ra requires three monsters for a tribute summon but Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus doesn't.
Well this actually helped me thanks dude! Although this brings up a good point whenever I hear the word XYZ summon everyone calls it exceeds summon despite the summoning. Summoning monsters is weird but not a bad little guide and it definitely helps.
Exceed summon is the 'official' way it is said. Only the older players really know this though, as konami never really pushed the pronunciation of it. Newer players tend to pick up on the jargon used by the older players and use it without knowing where it came from, though.
Hahahahaha I needed this thought it was cool in 00-01 when it came out but never had the opportunity to actually get into it, now the last month I’m reliving my childhood
The classical music in these videos is precisely perfect Edit: I like the machine comparison, but because it's a "tuner" I like to think of it musically. The tuner represents the tuning, composition, and structure of the song(the song being the synchro itself) and the other monsters represent the instruments required to play it. Another way I like to look at it is that Synchro is basically updated ritual monsters because it requires one other special card, and Xyz is like updated fusion monsters that don't make you wait on polymerization. I think we can all agree that's what Konami was thinking when they made them.
@Enrique Isaacs i just said it was fairly easy to understand lmao dont get butthurt. Can you just look at pendulum and link and immediately understand whats going on? Of course you need some time learning it and shit. I just said that up until xyz the summonic mechanic was fairly basic.
For those not familiar with pendulums, something not mentioned in this video is the fact that a trap card like bottomless trap hole can banish multiple pendulum summoned monsters since they're summoned at the same time. For a time, I didn't know this and I regret not knowing it.
I seriously wish I knew about you before I got into Yugioh. My first experience was with duel links, I learned just about everything I know now a days through that game... But sitll, synchros and links for example were confusing to me.. Duel links don't even have Links and pendulums so, it was always kinda foreign to me, I understand and utilize them now, but man, knowing this video existed 3 years ago would've helped me so much lmao
That was only in the anime, toon kingdom is a card that kinda mimics that protection effect but toons are very weak, if you pop toon world they are done.
The special summoning methods are piss easy. Ritual? One Ritual monster, one Ritual spell, and tributes. Fusion? Two (or more) monsters, and a Fusion spell. Sometimes you don't even need spells. Synchro? Needs one monster and one "tuner", then add their levels. XYZ? Two monsters (or more, depends) with the same level. Pendulum? Special summon any monsters from the hand and/or Extra Deck with levels in-between the "scales" numbers. Cards from the hand go to the usual monster zones, cards from the Extra deck go to the Extra monster zone. Links? Have monsters on the field equal to its Link Rating, with stats according to the requirements.
Everything that's from yugioh zexel and beyond is trash and boring, it's all about the old school and I guess I'll let the synchro monsters slide, but nice video
i stopped playing in the synchro era and i kind of like the idea of limiting extra deck summons. although from what i understand link monsters dont really succeed in slowing the game down. oh well rip me when i finally get back to playing
Aura dragon1 That's anime only, regular Zarc is summoned through Fusion. With Anime Zarc it's literally Fusion with Astrograph's effect and he counts as every card type besides spell and trap.
Aura dragon1 You do realise that when it's words on a screen you can't really convey the fact of it being a joke without some obvious word like 'amirite' or something like that, right?
It's overall pretty simple. You just need to read the cards and be able to atleast count to 12. Got back into the game this year and after like a week on MD was ready to seriously play again. Mostly play heroes, traptrix and meme decks like a creature swap/remove brainwashing kaiju troll decks.
"This card's NORMAL summon cannot be negated" Says nothing about him being pendulum summon so the meta is Solemn works vs the pendulum summoning AS A WHOLE, so it bangs all the monster being summoned. Another strategy is to destroy the enemy pendulum as soon as he declares pendulum summons a monster.
For the longest time, I always thought you can tribute from your hands and/or field for Ritual Monster. Only a few years ago from a video game when I learn you can only tribute from your hands or field. I have no clue how to synchro or pendulum summon until this video.
Contact fusion is my favorite summoning cause in all honest.....It was the forefather of Synchro which I also like. Also bring your friend/bud/mate in again. He has a very photogenic face......
The way how I look at Synchro summoning is that it is a form of ritual summoning. You're totalling levels to bring out a new monster. Just without a ritual spell card being the middle man.
The video was pretty good. Just getting back into the game. I always heard bad stuff about Pendulum monsters. After watching this, I have a better understanding of them. I can see why they are considered OP.
When Synchro came into play in duel links I was worried it would just replace fusion and ritual. Luckily it had its own limitations so it wasn’t busted and fits in nicely. I’m hoping xyz and pendulum fit in as well.
I played yu gi oh back when a normal monster wasn't useless and card attack and defence stats mattered. Then I saw that they didn't and dropped it.this vid helped me understand how to fight back if I ever got back into the game.

I agree. This video really helped me
For those of you who want to know about the summons mentioned at 8:02 :
- Gemini Monters are summoned as regular monsters, but while on the field they can be summoned again to activate an effect. This counts as a normal summon, not a special one, so it takes up your one summon for the turn.
- Contact Fusion is a type of Fusion that requires all monsters involved in the fusion to be on the field, but it does not require Polymerization or a similar card.
- Transformation Fusion is a type of fusion that turns one monster into another: think of it as a one-monster Fusion summoning. These require their own special Spell cards instead of Polymerization.
- Accel Synchro Summoning is like regular Synchro Summoning, except both monsters involved have to be Synchro Monsters themselves.
- Delta Accel Synchro Summoning requires at least three Synchro Monsters instead of the regular two.
- Limit Over Accel Synchro Summoning is the same as Delta Accel Synchro Summoning, except it's got a different name (which it got from the anime).
- Double Tuning is Synchro Summoning, except both monsters need to be Tuner monsters.
- Dark Synchro Summoning has you _substract_ the level of a Dark Tuner monster from a non-Tuner monster. The resulting number is called a Negative Level: this is the level at which you can summon a Dark Synchro Monster as if it were a regular Synchro Monster.
- XYZ Evolution exists in two forms: either you overlay the XYZ Evolution monster over a specific monster (mentioned on the XYZ Evolution card) or you use a Spell that lets you overlay the XYZ Evolution Monster over an existing XYZ monster. In both cases the Materials still attached to the original XYZ Monster (as well as the monster itself) attach to the XYZ Evolution Monster as Materials.
And that should be all of them... as long as nobody asks about Phantom Synchro, Cross XYZ, Overscale Pendulum, Integration Summoning or Dimension Summoning.
Beriorn the heck is phantom syncro, cross XYZ, overscale pendulum and integration summoning
Let's do these as well then.
- Phantom Synchro is a Synchro Summon where the monster is summon from the Graveyard instead of the extra deck.
- Cross Xyz Summon is an Xyz Summon where one of the monsters involved is an Xyz monster, whose Rank is used as a Level for Xyz Summoning purposes.
- Overscale Pendulum is a Pendulum Summon where it doesn't matter what scales you have in your Pendulum Zones, used for summoning very low-level monsters.
- Transcendent Pendulum Summon is a Pendulum Summon where the sum of the two Pendulum Scales exceeds the Transcendent monster's level, the opposite of Overscale.
- Integration Summon is a type of Summon that lets you Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck that can be summoned in no other way.
- Dimension Summon is used in a special Dimension Duel (name not official) where you deplete your Spirit gague to summon a monster for free, but powering up a monster summoned this way requires extra investment from your Spirit gauge and if a monster summoned this way is destroyed this way, instead of taking regular battle damage you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK/DEF (depending on its position at the time).
Note that all of these are manga, anime and movie only.

I watched the YuGiOh Dark Side Of Dimensions Movie

Decided to make this video as a fun project, turned out ok. I know that i literally talk about the bare bones of each of the summoning types, as well i'm not even that savvy on pendulums still XD but i hope you find some enjoyment out of this video regardless. Let me know what you though and leave any additional info on each of the summoning types below!
ALSO What is your favourite summoning type and why?!?
TGS Anime basically the more codensce form of cimoooooooo videos
TGS Anime and a more fun version
TGS Anime My favorite is fusion because fusion master race. Also I love how you used a bunch of Normal monsters basically saying I have no use for these so let's make one
I already know all that, but this is interesting project! I will wait for new episodes, Thank you! :)
make a video on the difference between the two jack atlases on arc V and 5ds
Now, from all the added forms of summoning:
Synchros, I can get behind. Pretty simple really, you just do the same as an on-field ritual summon but the ritual is instead a Tuner-typed monster you control and you don´t need the synchro-monster to be drawn since it´s extra-deck.
Xyz, alright. It´s basically just another idea of the same concept rituals and synchros follow, with more focus on monster-level, like rituals. Also, once again it´s extra-deck, so no searching for Xyz-monsters required.
Pendulum. Pendulum seems so over-complicated and convoluted in a way that makes normal players never wanna use them.
I heard someone say "I tried a pendulum-deck once in the OCG, and it just went and played itself. My friend was asking what I did, and I only answered I don´t know." This summons (heh, summon) up perfectly what Pendulums are all about.
Confusing your opponent to a point where he doesn´t know when to activate a possible counter, OR, if he knows about them, just spamming multiple monsters and doing stupidly long card-combos with effects that most of the time result in an OTK.
Haha pendulums go brrrr
I lost 7 duels to Pendulum decks before I understood them and half believed people were just screwing with my head. Then I realized the whole thing could not only be stopped by anything that negates special summons, but even Mystical Space Typhoon would just put a kibosh to it since they'd have to reset their scales. I also realzied 3 of those duels I lost I could have easily stopped things. So once I got it, I begrudgingly accepted this. Ironically, I think I would have got it if I was caught up to the anime at that time. I'm not a huge fan of some of the more powerful XYZ monsters, but this is less due to the mechanic and more the fact that I feel like they are giving away too many non destruction removals like candy when it should be harder to get into. I'd be equally upset if they put effects of some of the more busted XYZ monsters on a main deck monster that can be special summoned from the graveyard. Now what I really hate are link summons. This isn't because they are too complicated. This is because the materials are too generic. Some of them are ridiculous things are "two effect monsters." All these link summons being too easy has many implications. One, you don't need to carefully manage levels of monsters you summon like you do with Synchros. Two, targeting cards that cause a negative effect on your opponent's monsters are neutralized just by using them as materials and unlike a tribute summon, this can be done more than once per turn, unlike a ritual summon this doesn't need a card in the hand to help, and unlike a Synchro summon, you don't need a type of monster (tuner) to help with that. Three, splashing monsters outside of archetype is way easier. Three, defense position mechanics don't work. Like I wish they just said any link monster in defense position is destroyed by game mechanic instead of just not allowing them to change. And don't get me started on link monsters which can be summoned by tokens. I don't mind the Sky Strikers since their materials are archetype specific. I understand the need to summon link monsters for those arrows, but I think link monster with good on field effects should be harder to summon requiring something like "Archetype Specific Card + Type (Say Spellcaster, Dragon, Machine, whatever)" or if they want it generic "Three of type" and not "two effect monsters."
I like how in the anime characters always summon a monster in face up defence position. Cheaters.
mvpxtomahawkzz They actually changed that rule in Arc-V, they mentioned that Gongenzaka (I think) had to set one of his monsters because you can't summon in face-up defence mode.
It first came into effect in Zexal.
Well, Its the anime. In the anime, you can use "Dark Magic Curtain" to summon a Dark Magician, but your opponent can also summon if they have, and your opponent can also summon Dark Magician Girl if possible. In RL however, only you get this effect; but you can only summon Dark Magician, nothing else than Dark Magician.
Signerdragon123 no Jayden used to summon cayman in open defense position
No, I'm saying that characters didn't solely stick to Normal Sets until Zexal.
When this is uploaded half a week before a new summoning method is announced...
What do you mean
*help me what summoning*
@@bigballerbenji7217 link summoning
Kek
Apart from regular conditionnal Special Summons, Synchro summon has always felt like the best designed summon to me.
It came out at a time where lower-lvl monsters had few reasons to be played (if not « this guy is a whatever-tribe, so you need to run this to do whatever with the other whatever-tribe guys in your deck »), does make sense in term of board and ressources (you’re not dumping your whole hand into a ridiculously broken guy, but rather piling up your smaller guys into something that challenges the board), and incentivizes decision-making and complex lines of play (since you usually have different versatile Synchro monsters at each level and can pull off nice lines of play if you can recur your smaller guys). So well designed that it actually worked pretty immediatly without Konami having to release absurd support or cheat-into-play cards like with Ritual and Fusion.
Xyz seems fine, though I’m less excited about « how do I get 2 5-stars on the board ? » than « how do I manage to assemble a 8-star guy with my 3-stars guy and my 2-stars tuner in hand ? »
Pendulum just seems dumb. I imagine the pendulum-based decks are more intelligent than they seem and build a board or various monsters with synergestic effects rather than a bunch of mid-sized hitters, but still : either your game is 80% based on your opening hand, or they’re continuously releasing broken tribe-based tutoring effects to carry such a level of hand-dumping.
It also seems pretty clear that Konami’s original game design has been thrown away long ago considering how normal and tribute summon seem like a joke today.
I tribute my deck to summon dark magician
Johnnie Vazquez OMG 😂
MontageGamingXD i tribute 3 cards to superior ride, oh wait wrong show again 😄
Judas The Ally I tribute my whole life to summon... BUBONIC VERMIN!!!!
Judas The Ally With no monsters left on the field I summon dark magician and attack directly.
XD I love that commercial
AND DECLARE A DIRECT ATTACK!
Jotaro summon:
Once per duel if your LP are lower than your opponent, you can summon your bare hands in attack mode. If you do that, you can do the ORAORAORAORAORAORA in the face of your opponent, take his/her cards and automatically win the duel.
wtf did i just read ? xDDD
Is this a JoJo reference?

If you have "Star Platinum" or "The World" on your field: You can target 1 "Star Platinum" or 1 "The World" from your deck or graveyard, then target 1 "Star Platinum" or 1 "The World" in your field; you can tribute them, then Special Summon 1 "Star Platinum: The World" from your Extra Deck (This also counts as Fusion Summon)
Star Platinum: The World - Spirit/Effect/Fusion
"Star Platinum" + "The World"
Must be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Materials and cannot be special summoned by other ways.

Ah, the memories... I used to play this game a lot when I was a kid and I stopped when the synchro monsters came out.
Sometimes I regret having spent so much money on it and I think about selling my old cards, but then I remember all the fun I had and how much I cherished them, so I'm keeping them as a memento of the good ol' days.
I am actually a 12 year old boy with ADHD and I love yugioh. Before watching this my only experience with rules was from season 1 and half of season 2. Then I watched a couple of gameplays and found all about these new methods, originally I wanted to read the rules of the website but with my ADHD I knew I couldn’t pay attention. So I looked up on TH-cam how to do these things and found this. I thought the title sounded funny so I clicked on the vid and found it to be more helpful than I first thought it would be! Thank you so very much for your help! May the heart of the cards be with you!
Pendulum summoning seems broken AF. When I used to play years ago they just left the game at fusion and ritual summoning. Seemed simple enough to follow and pick up of you were watching or new to the game. I'm a more of a minimalist. I think the game should try to stick more to its roots and fundamental mechanics. You start adding all these extra mechanics and it just starts to make the game messy in my opinion. You know it's getting to that point when they have to keep altering the playing board/mat to accommodate new things.
+Cross Dement they should ban all the new cards and shit it Should have stayed the same as it was in 2005
Dark One So boring as shit then
+Google are you fucking kidding me why would you let me pick such a retarded username not really
Dark One The game was slow and predictable in 2005. I'd say it took until about 2007 for the game to be developed and varied enough to be fun to play.
Slow and predictable? LOL slow, maybe, but it was fun to play, and predictable only if you were playing with 5 year olds, nowadays it seems more predictable and less fun, like "Oooh this guy just throw a bunch of special summons, well, this is over, gg" wich makes it even more predictable as you are pretty much forced to do that kind of stuff to remain competitive and also makes it less fun as is just a matter of "who will engage in the summoning loop before the other wins" mechanic.
Jeez. They made YuGiOh way too over complicated for the casual players. Maybe that's why duel links is popular right now. It was smart of them to go back to a more simple YuGiOh.
The enemy honestly it is easy to understand the special summon methods
I stopped playing Duel Links when they introduced 5Ds
pendulum is the only complicated one, synchro is just fusion and ritual put together and XYZ is just summoning with monsters that have the same level not that fucking complicated learn to adapt.
@@pforgottonsoul I know right?
Are'nt casual players the same type of people that would make decks like odd eyes with machinas?
I can still remember how my first duel looks like (with a bro):
Bro: You got two level 4 monsters in your field. I lend you a xyz monster so try xyz?
I : I overlay those two mosters to summon No.39 Utopia...
Bro : Nice try. Bottomless trap hole.
Son of a gun.
Good vid, but you should've mentioned a few more things:
Ritual and fusion summons can use face down monsters on the field, while synchro and XYZ can't.
Some ritual\fusion cards allow you to use cards from the graveyard.
Also, you can set as many pendulum scales as you want, as long as you have the cards and can clear the pendulum zones to place new cards there.
0:52 Normal/Tribute Summon
1:34 Special Summon
2:36 Ritual Summon
3:18 Fusion Summon
4:05 Synchro Summon
4:54 Xyz Summon
5:50 Pendulum Summon
U forgot link summon
You offered the hero Jerry Beans Man you monster.
Chilling Neko
jerry beans man saved me so many times in a duel. I always have one in my deck
I just got back into duel links and this is a great vid to help with the new special summons.
Thank you that intro was me. I have been out of the loop for 15 years.
The only one I still dont understand are pendulum summons but other than that you explained everything very well!
Thanks
Obviously I’m here cause Iv been away for a long time and man I’ve tried so hard to understand a lot of this but I just couldn’t get it. Clicked your video hopelessly saying “this might help” and 8 minutes later I feel like I know more now than ever thanks man
How is it that Pendulum summoning can be so easily explained [even though it confused me at first] by Link summoning still gives me a headache?
As a seasoned yugi boomer who stopped before xyz, synchro, pendulum and link summons I appreciate this. Still putting in work on master duel with my traditional gameplay.
Ps the black luster soldier is truly the icon ritual summon.
Me:
Yeah I love my rituals and fusions!
Oh ok synchro summoning I'll try to learn
Omg synchros are overpowered enough xyz better be the last style of summoning
Pendulum summoning(stops playing yugioh)
Link summoning how am I still alive??
Agreed. A lot of synchro are o.p. and can result in a one turn k.o. that's why I stick to my own deck and shun those who use the same old b.s. everyone else uses.
Im almost 30 and grew up with this game but havent played in years and suddenly found the new one on the switch and im daft. This was needed thank you
Basically: Synchro monsters are a mix of fusion monsters (where they need materials (sometimes specific)) and ritual (level requirement)
As for pendulum summon: the best scale is 0-13 (meaning you can summon any monster that can be special summoned with this method), the worst scale is matching numbers or one scale is +1 of the other (example: 1-1 or 2-3 will not let you summon any monster)
Love these videos! Some friends and I are just getting back into yugioh and stumbled upon this video after one (very unsuccessful and confusion-filled) duel on our own. We now know that many many mistakes were made and more practice is needed, lol. Great job on the video!
You didn't mention that Pendulum Monsters are played the same way as any regular/effect monster in the Monster Card zone and therefore still fall under the same summoning requirements to summon stronger monsters as the others and that in the Pendulum Zone, that monster's spell effect is activated and it's the only way to activate said effect, rather then play the monster in the spell/trap card zone as per normal.
It's true that he didn't mention those two aspects of pendulum monsters, however the point of the video was to explain the basic types of summoning, not basic types of cards in general.
That was where I got lost, again. Haha. Also… Link Monsters. Wtf?
@@seandobbins2231 This video is indeed about summoning and like it or not Pendulums are part of the game and should be explained as such.
@@David315842 yes, pendulums are part of the game, but the topic of the videos is a basic explanation of how various types of summoning work, not to explain every aspect of every type of card related to summoning. I'm sure if this video was a guide to every type of card, he would've explained how pendulum monsters work. This is also an "idiot's guide" so it was only meant to be a basic explanation of summoning types. You're expecting more of this video than it was intended to be.
@@seandobbins2231Not really, it wouldn't have taken that much time to explain the mechanics and regardless of what you think at least 16 other people agree with me. So that's that really. In our opinion, the video could have done more to explain things.
Loved the video! i noticed for some reason everytime i think of Cyber Dragon i think of your channel now XD
DizzyIplays happy to hear that :D
DizzyIplays Well Zane is his bae and he loves the Cyber Dragons.
the cyber dragon deck was probably my favorite of the GX era due to how you could get powerful cards out easily and that it had the potential to destroy your opponent in a single turn.
Pendulum~ more like " Screw the rules! I have green hair!"
Yuya didn't screw the rules, he made the rules.
Yuya thing or Toei Kaiba?
Now I know--and knowing is half the Duel!
YU-GI-OH!
A Real Egyptian Card Game!
that ending cracked me up XD
Arspamon 1 i was like yeah what about those! XD
Thanks I've been trying to figure out normal summoning for the longest time!
Pendulum summon: *Instructions unclear, got sent to the Shadow Realm*
I’ve been using Legacy of the Duelist to learn the new summons past synchros. This video was fun and helpful
I stopped playing when synchros came out. Now I see all this extra shit I'm like 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
me too xD
I stopped playing when heroes came out, feel the same way as you though!
You guys are honestly idiots then. The golden age of yugioh was the early Edison format up until Ravine Rulers and any objective player from your time who stuck around would agree that was when the game was at its best
xxxtensioncord the game progressively got worse with Links and Pendulums. Xyz was a neutral thing. But Synchros actually made the game good and quite frankly anyone who thinks they're cool for not liking them is dumb af
Synchros are actually pretty easy and not all all at bad.
I came for Pendulums
Because I'm an idiot
wait Rituals go in the deck? Holy shish
@@carnoyoutubeman yeah, that's been a thing since the beginning.
Nice video man, I stopped keeping up at Synchros and had no idea how shit works nowadays
why did they ruin our perfect game
Lewis Henderson I hate links too tbh
Came back after 6/7 years and me and my friend "banned" everything past XYZ...
Wise choice flu wise choice
Wise choice indeed,
Synchro and Xyz are at least understandable,
just another way to summon combination-monsters like Fusion or Rituals.
You mean the game where anything with a level lower than 4 was usually shit, and it was all about getting the biggest and baddest monster out first?
I believe that’s some nostalgia on your eyes, it’s good in a reasonable amount, but not that much
He uses all the summoning methods, he is too dangerous to be kept alive
*when u finnaly learn how to pendlum summon* NOW I WILL TOTALY DESTROY MY BROTHER THAT KEEPS WINNING
LOL 😂
Thanks I'm getting back into yu gi oh I've been confused on different summons. Thank you!
Xyz was the greatest thing to ever grace the Yugioh Duel Board. Simple, straightforward, and the coolest border artwork ever.
monsters attached to xyz monsters are called xyz materials, also you cannot pendulum summon xyz monsters unless a card say you can because they have ranks but pendulums deals with levels
Yugi: * plays Dark Magician *
Joey: “Don’t you need to tribute monsters to summon that card?”
Yugi: “Quiet Joey, we haven’t reached that season of the series yet!”
Also I don’t know why I’m watching this video.
I already know about every summoning type.
I stopped playing yugioh when fusions were still a huge deal and this really helped me out now that I'm rebuilding my deck.
The best tribute in anime history is that ryuga tributes himself for kenta
So, would that one Kamina moment in Gurren Lagaan count as a graveyard effect?
having 25+ years magic the gathering experience makes teaching myself this game tricky. thx for posting
Cough
Toons are special summon tribute
Cough
Dude, I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh beginner, and a well-timed pendulum summon just...yeets every big monster you have onto the field, and watching your opponent die inside as you seal your victory. Love it.
You lost me at pendulum.
Thank god man.
Last time i played Yu-Gi-Oh the only existing special summons were ritual and fusion xD
Wanted to kill some time with tag force and i was like "wtf is going on? HELP!"
Thx for the explanation 👍
I wonder if there will be a new mechanic with the next Yugioh show?
GaiaNex V2 Every show introduced some new mechanic.So probably yes
GaiaNex V2 if it does then the questions is how it works, and if will be easy to abuse.
GaiaNex V2 maybe it will be like the new movie and they'll have "dimension summon"
JONESalpha 716 Dimension Summoning can't be used in the real game though, so it's likely going to be a movie-only gimmick.
And he's going to make an update of this video sooner with the introduction of the new summoning method
Great video, very needed and useful! That said, if Yugioh keeps making summoning and gameplay more and more complicated the game is going to die. :(
Finally I know how to Pendulum Summon!!!😂😂😂😂
yay!
Dude you are one of kind good teachers of the card game man
i thought a level 12 monster needed 3 sacrifices
Usually level 12's have specific requirements written on the card. God cards (Slifer, Obelisk and Ra) need 3 tributes.
god cards are all level 10, except horactie
No monster requires three monsters for a tribute summon unless specified otherwise. Ex: The Winged Dragon of Ra requires three monsters for a tribute summon but Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus doesn't.
that's only in the manga
Nuno TORRES i always thought the same lol
Well this actually helped me thanks dude! Although this brings up a good point whenever I hear the word XYZ summon everyone calls it exceeds summon despite the summoning. Summoning monsters is weird but not a bad little guide and it definitely helps.
Exceed summon is the 'official' way it is said. Only the older players really know this though, as konami never really pushed the pronunciation of it. Newer players tend to pick up on the jargon used by the older players and use it without knowing where it came from, though.
Millidith Oh ok. Typical Konami always not explaining much it makes more sense to say exceed rather than XYZ summon sounds weird.
Great ! What's yugioh again ?
(joke)
Hahahahaha I needed this thought it was cool in 00-01 when it came out but never had the opportunity to actually get into it, now the last month I’m reliving my childhood
I abandoned after GX
Then came back and I guess Synchro's aren't hat bad however. I'm not using anything beyond that.
xyz can have fun effects.
I think synchro's are crap. Fusions and Rituals are all that you need
How do you play synchros with the new rulings? I mean if you dont use link monsters you cant control more than 1 synchro monster.
Then you would like Duel Links
@@mustaineforpresident not really
The classical music in these videos is precisely perfect
Edit: I like the machine comparison, but because it's a "tuner" I like to think of it musically. The tuner represents the tuning, composition, and structure of the song(the song being the synchro itself) and the other monsters represent the instruments required to play it.
Another way I like to look at it is that Synchro is basically updated ritual monsters because it requires one other special card, and Xyz is like updated fusion monsters that don't make you wait on polymerization. I think we can all agree that's what Konami was thinking when they made them.
There is way too much crap in YuGiOh now.
There's not that much stuff in the game
Well now the entirety of the game got fucked by link summoning
Up until xyz it was fairly easy to understand
@Enrique Isaacs i just said it was fairly easy to understand lmao dont get butthurt. Can you just look at pendulum and link and immediately understand whats going on? Of course you need some time learning it and shit. I just said that up until xyz the summonic mechanic was fairly basic.
@Enrique Isaacs I don't like the fact that I have to use link summoning to actually play the gamr
For those not familiar with pendulums, something not mentioned in this video is the fact that a trap card like bottomless trap hole can banish multiple pendulum summoned monsters since they're summoned at the same time. For a time, I didn't know this and I regret not knowing it.
Yugioh Fans: Pendulum sucks
Yugioh Releases LINK
Yugioh Fans: 🤢🤮
I seriously wish I knew about you before I got into Yugioh. My first experience was with duel links, I learned just about everything I know now a days through that game... But sitll, synchros and links for example were confusing to me.. Duel links don't even have Links and pendulums so, it was always kinda foreign to me, I understand and utilize them now, but man, knowing this video existed 3 years ago would've helped me so much lmao
No link summon?
idonotmakevidsyet this came out before the link monster
bruh, note the time that that comment was made
idonotmakevidsyet link summons need specific monsters or some links (decode stalker) needs just effect monsters
idonotmakevidsyet There's a separate video for that
Subscribed! Thank you for these. I haven't played this for over a decade and when i'm back, i've got no idea what the black and white cards are...
"here's a nice easy example of a special summon"
me: he's gonna play cyber dragon
"here we have the lovable cyber dragon"
me: **came**
Gazelle owo
Nice vid, I learned alot. Especially so about Pendulums.
In Magic, we just tap lands according to a card’s mana cost...
Oh! Now I understand XYZ summons, thanks!
no one remembers Toon monsters. how sad :)
Toons are one of my favorite archetypes. :P
Emmanuel Opoku-Ware Do you actually know what they do in the real game?
Emmanuel Opoku-Ware that only happens in the anime. You can still destroy them in the game. It's just not easy.
They are easy to counter, use drowning mirror force.
That was only in the anime, toon kingdom is a card that kinda mimics that protection effect but toons are very weak, if you pop toon world they are done.
The special summoning methods are piss easy.
Ritual?
One Ritual monster, one Ritual spell, and tributes.
Fusion?
Two (or more) monsters, and a Fusion spell. Sometimes you don't even need spells.
Synchro?
Needs one monster and one "tuner", then add their levels.
XYZ?
Two monsters (or more, depends) with the same level.
Pendulum?
Special summon any monsters from the hand and/or Extra Deck with levels in-between the "scales" numbers. Cards from the hand go to the usual monster zones, cards from the Extra deck go to the Extra monster zone.
Links?
Have monsters on the field equal to its Link Rating, with stats according to the requirements.
you forget rank down xyz monsters
thank you for making this video. i’m trying to get back into yugioh and this really helped me get caught up to speed!
Everything that's from yugioh zexel and beyond is trash and boring, it's all about the old school and I guess I'll let the synchro monsters slide, but nice video
thanks
Eh, I'll forever remain a die hard fan of anything Yu-Gi-Oh. I still find it all interesting.
same here!
Chicken Fries ritual monsters are useless yet xyz monsters have really good effects
Kaysea Suzana but most are limited because of overlay units
i stopped playing in the synchro era and i kind of like the idea of limiting extra deck summons. although from what i understand link monsters dont really succeed in slowing the game down. oh well rip me when i finally get back to playing
you didn't go over integration summon though
Aura dragon1 That's anime only, regular Zarc is summoned through Fusion. With Anime Zarc it's literally Fusion with Astrograph's effect and he counts as every card type besides spell and trap.
ShadicRothZz1998.....it was a joke
ShadicRothZz1998 AHAH FOOL he's pendulum too so he kinda misses trap only..sort of ...ish
Aura dragon1 You do realise that when it's words on a screen you can't really convey the fact of it being a joke without some obvious word like 'amirite' or something like that, right?
It's overall pretty simple. You just need to read the cards and be able to atleast count to 12. Got back into the game this year and after like a week on MD was ready to seriously play again.
Mostly play heroes, traptrix and meme decks like a creature swap/remove brainwashing kaiju troll decks.
pendulum 2-8 (lvl3-7) 3 monsters minimum, tribute and bring out Obelisk, win the game. easy
Unholy Exo use solemn and obelisk is dead.
Chardog why would you summon him?
"This card's NORMAL summon cannot be negated"
Says nothing about him being pendulum summon so the meta is Solemn works vs the pendulum summoning AS A WHOLE, so it bangs all the monster being summoned. Another strategy is to destroy the enemy pendulum as soon as he declares pendulum summons a monster.
for someone who barely remembers the original summoning from the early 2000s....this is helpful.

rain maker it's cool!
For the longest time, I always thought you can tribute from your hands and/or field for Ritual Monster. Only a few years ago from a video game when I learn you can only tribute from your hands or field. I have no clue how to synchro or pendulum summon until this video.
Contact fusion is my favorite summoning cause in all honest.....It was the forefather of Synchro which I also like.
Also bring your friend/bud/mate in again. He has a very photogenic face......
The way how I look at Synchro summoning is that it is a form of ritual summoning. You're totalling levels to bring out a new monster. Just without a ritual spell card being the middle man.
The video was pretty good. Just getting back into the game. I always heard bad stuff about Pendulum monsters. After watching this, I have a better understanding of them. I can see why they are considered OP.
I love how you treat vanilla monsters with care :D
Amazing I learned a lot about the different types of summoning in yugioh.
Got a new subscriber in 5 seconds. Just the video I was looking for, even though I didn't know I needed it. Thanks!
Sent this to my brother who recently got back into yugioh so thanks I’m now going to have to look for your link summoning video
actually haven't played in years and thus was somewhat useful thanks
Thank you for this masterpiece of explanation.
When Synchro came into play in duel links I was worried it would just replace fusion and ritual. Luckily it had its own limitations so it wasn’t busted and fits in nicely. I’m hoping xyz and pendulum fit in as well.
I played yu gi oh back when a normal monster wasn't useless and card attack and defence stats mattered. Then I saw that they didn't and dropped it.this vid helped me understand how to fight back if I ever got back into the game.
