Rulings

  • Metamorphosis does not properly Summon a Fusion Monster, so you cannot use Monster Reborn on it afterwards.
  • Tributing a monster is a cost.
  • You can Tribute a face-down monster.
  • If you activated "Soul Exchange" targeting your opponent’s monster, if the monster is face-down, you cannot Tribute it as a cost for "Metamorphosis".
  • You can Tribute a Monster Token (including a Sheep Token from Scapegoat).
  • If there is no Fusion Monster with the same level as the Tributed monster in your Extra Deck, then you cannot activate this card.
  • Metamorphosis vs. A Legendary Ocean: if you want to Special Summon a Level 6 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, you have to Tribute a Level 7 WATER monster on the field because it is treated as a Level 6.
