Rulings

While you control a face-up monster, you can:

  • Take control of an opponent's monster with EG "Brain Control", even if it has the wrong Type. (If it has the wrong Type, it's immediately sent to the GY).
  • Summon/Set monsters face-down, even if they have the wrong original Type.
  • If you control no monsters, you can Summon multiple monsters with different Types with EG "Rekindling". (After they're summoned, send monsters you control to the GY so that you only control 1 Type).

While you control a face-up monster, you cannot:

  • Tribute/Ritual/Fusion/Synchro Summon a monster with the wrong Type, even if you would use the monsters you control as tribute/material. (EG, you can't use 2 Sea-Serpents to Synchro Summon a Psychic).
  • Flip/Normal/Special Summon a monster with the wrong Type.
  • Summon "Lava Golem" (unless all monsters your opponent controls are Fiends).
  • Summon "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" (unless you control no monsters, or only Pyros).

If a Set Monster is attacked:

  • It's not sent to the GY until After Damage Calculation.
  • Its Flip Effect will activate, but it is not "destroyed by battle" (EG, Shura and Mystic Tomato will not trigger, since nothing was destroyed by battle).
