Ignoring the Summoning Conditions

From Yu-Gi-Oh!

'Ignoring the Summoning Conditions' was a Phrase coined by Kevin Tewart at Upper Deck Entertainment, to allow for flexibility when summoning LV Monsters, with either Level up! or Level Modulation, though this term has been used more recently for other cards. Cards that ignore the summoning conditions essentially bypass the summoning requirements written on the Monster card being summoned, and allows it to be summoned regardless. However, although a very handy way of summoning hard to get out Monsters, such summons are counted to be 'Summoned by the required card effect' by the card that usually precedes it i.e. Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 is on the field, and Level up! is used. Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 will be summoned, since the effect mimics that of the effect of Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 that would normally by required to summon it.

Most monsters this is used on, would be "Nomi", and thus ineligible for Special Summoning via routes such as Monster Reborn.
