Summon

From Yu-Gi-Oh!

A Summon is performed when a monster is transferred from either the Main Deck, Extra Deck, Graveyard, Removed from Play pile, or hand to a face-up position on the Playing Field.

There exists a number of different types of Summonings.

Flip Summons, Special Summons, Fusion Summons, Ritual Summons, and Synchro Summons may be conducted as many times as you would like per turn, provided you have the cards to do so, and there are no cards in play restricting special summoning.

Sets and Tribute Sets are not treated as a Summon.
