Please don't stop this series. It's an amazing resource for getting new players to pick up and play Yugioh. The videos have great visuals and very descriptive explanations without having the video be too long where the viewer would lose interest. Great moves Cimo, keep it up.
Love this video. It made me realize im more of a noob than i thought. Ive played yugioh video games before and never knew that i couldnt special summon a fusion monster that was banished or in the grave if it wasnt properly fusion summoned first.
I recon you should have included a section for mask change but overall i love this series. I will be using these to help people understand yugioh. Thanks cimoooooooo
Lol I love your series started teaching my sister to duel yesterday and after showing her your videos she started improving already. You have definitely earned a sub
Trying to get back into yugioh, and I'm terrified by how complex the game has gotten since I was in middle school. These videos, along with playing an old GBA game I have- I'm hoping to slowly dip my toes back in. Currently in the process of putting a Toon deck together (and learning to use it 😅) excited to use these vids and other methods to hopefully get a hang of the game again. Thank you so much for the short vids, clear explanations, and no overly complicated drawn out wordy descriptions.
It could be a good idea to have mentioned cards that substitute themselves as fusion materials, I.E. Mystical Sheep #1 and King of the Swamp, because there are certain rulings that come up regarding those cards, as in certain fusion monsters with specific texts can't use fusion substitutes in the summoning requirements.
Decks that people can use to practice or try these methods: Regular Polymerization: Lunalights Other Polymerization: Heroes, Shaddolls, Fluffal/Frightfur, Cyber Dragons Contact Fusion: Gladiator Beasts, Ritual Beasts, and ABC (I suggest that practice with other contact fusion decks before trying this one)
"Two Beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance. Now become one, And from the hell beneath your petals, Give birth to a new terror! *YUGO SHOUKAN*! Appear now, poisonous dragon, with hungering fangs! Level 8! - Starve Venom, Fusion Dragon!
Thank you for posting your tutorial videos! :) In about an hour and a half, I finally learned how to play Yu Gi Oh with a few other videos and I have to say, Fusion is definetly my favorite way to summon. I was just wodering, what are some good Fusion-based decks? My friend suggested Fluffals since I love cute things but I'm not so sure.
Alex, riddle me this; How has youtube been around since 2005 and yet it took this long to get a legitimate series that perfectly explains a lot of the basic necessities required to play the game? Like really, man, this could really help a lot of people who are having a hard time getting into the game.
There are 2 ways to revive a fusion monster in Yu-Gi-Oh is 1. Monster reborn which you already know that because you just explained it, 2. Fusion recovery which allows the person to recover Polymerization and one fusion material monster that was used for fusion summmon, from your graveyard to your hand, 3. De-fusion, 4. Re-fusion
I'm not sure if you should've mention that the fusion materials for contact fusion do not need to be face-up on the field. For example, to contact fuse G.B. Gyzarus you need G.B. bestiari and another G.B. monster on the field. If you already have any other G.B. on field, you can set a bestiari face-down on the field, then reveal it to the opponent to proceed to contact fusion Gyzarus.
Dude thank you so much I had all these cards saying fusion which I dont have polermrazation and I'm like aw man but then I went to you you told me there's a thing called contact summoning thank you so much your the best 😁
I Activate Polymerization! I fuse Zombyra the dark and that skull thing, I fusion Summon! Appear! A Warrior from a different Dimension! You cant summon any monsters! *opponent: Scoops*
Recently i got this doubt thanks to a friend and it would be great if i could clear it up. Say, If you try to fusion summon "dark paladin" with regular polymerization or "destruction swordsman fusion", can you mix materials from hand and field? because as far as i know, the "or" mentioned in the card implies that is from one or another, so i cant fusion summon with dark magician in field and buster blader in hand, or can i? It got further confusing by how some cards now include "and/or" for certain effects, like ABC contact fusion requirements. Thanks in advance, and really hope you can clear it up for me. Cheers.
with regular polymerization you can summon Dark Paladin without ever having to have Buster Blader or Dark Magician on the field. they can both be in your hand and used for the fusion summon. if you happen to have 1 or both on the field the same thing applies, you have the neccesary requirements to perform the summon. in the case of Destruction Swordsman Fusion though something interesting is to note: Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster that lists "Buster Blader" as Material from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or *either side of the field* as Fusion Materials. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard; add this card to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Destruction Swordsman Fusion" once per turn. ------- So If your opponent plays a Dark Magician deck or Buster Blader while you control or have possesion of the other required cards for Dark Paladin you can use their monsters for your fusion summon, this is basically a super polymerization for the Buster Blader archtype. very handy.
Thanks for the help, i thought as much, but man at certain moments and with some logic some yugi cards have bad jurisprudence, my pal really got me there lol.
Thanks for clearing it up, yeah Destruction swordsman is really good, i love to use it with a creature swap combo, then fuse the traded monster to bring out dark paladin or bust blader fusion and have an extra monster
So instead using polymerization card on some fusion monster liked Chimeratech dragons (Overdragon, Rampage dragon, Fortress dragon and Megafleet dragon.) then what about the other fusion spell card liked Overload Fusion, Cybernetic Fusion Support, Power Bond and Future Fusion. Do we have to use those spell cards on those typed of fusion monsters?
What does it mean when a card says for example: "1 Tuner + 1 + non-Tuner monsters". It's the +1 part I'm confused about, does it mean 1 tuner and 1 non tuner, or does it mean 1 tuner and 1 monster and 1 non tuner? I suppose it would say 2 tuners if it required 2.
So to break it down: 1 tuner (self explanatory, use only 1 tuner) + (self explanatory) 1+ non-tuners (meaning you have a choice to use 1 or more non tuners as long as all materials add up to the synchro monster's level) For example: you control a lv 1 tuner, 2 lv 1 non tuners, and 1 lv 2 non tuner. You are trying to synchro summon a lv 3 synchro with that clause. You have the option to use 1 tuner with 1 non tuner (lv 1 + lv 2) or 1 tuner with 2 non tuners (lv 1+ lv 1+ lv 1). Hope this helps.
hey, cimo, I havent played yugioh ever since the first gen yugioh came out. when second gen came out i stoped playing the game and got rid of my cards. now im trying to get back into the game and i even got about 200 cards now, but making a decent deck is a little harder than it was before. thats where i need help from you, cimo. i hope you can make a vid about makeing a proper deck.
So I assume XYZ Dragon Cannon(as an example) would be a contact fusion, then? Are all Machine type fusion monsters contact fusion’s, or is that a specific rule for certain ones?
A specific way to check for contact fusion is if the card says "you do not use "polymerization"". Contact fusion is mainly fusion without an effect activating/ causing the fusion summon (like fusion spells or monster effects that allow you to fusion summon) so it becomes similar to stuff like synchro or xyz summoning. A unofficial/ slang term for these summons that dont trigger by effect is "inherent summon". Hope this helps.
thank you very much for these videos! they help a lot what happens if an effect states to put a monster from the GY to the main deck? could i choose a fusion monster and put if back into the extra deck?
One question... can you use something like “monster reborn” on a card like “Chimertech overdragon” which gains 1000 ATK for each machine monster sent to the graveyard (fusion materials...“cyber dragon” + 1+ machine monster(s)) and if you can would it have the same ATK as the first time you summoned it or would you have to send the material to the grave yard again to get its ATK back?
I like to know, if is possible fusion summon a monster in face down defense position ?? and if can do the same with synchro summon a monster in face down defense position, thanks.
Juan Pablo Gamez Canales you can fusion summon with monster faced down but remember some fusion require the monster to be on the field to fusion summon and synchro and xyz require the monster to be faced up to be identified by levels or other categories for links to summoned.
Cyber-stein is so powerful with its ability cheat out any fusion monster for the cost of 5000 life points that despite the steep cost of the ability, the card has been banned for a long time because that ability has just too powerful
Does instant fusion or mask change need a special scenario? Or it is just satisfied by the cyber stein example except for the "This is treated as a Fusion Summon" stipulation?
Hong Khuu Using instant fusion is treated as a fusion summon, Mask change simply special summons a fusion monster, but it's not treated as a fusion summon.
I have a question about some contact fusion cards, for example "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" where the text vairy in that on one card it say ("You do not use "Polymerization" ) and the other version dosen't have this little qoute. Why is that? can I not play with the card that lack this detail?
Cards have different text because when they get a reprint, they update the wording of the card to make it have clearer effects/ less text/ updated rulings/ change in jargon, etc. You can play any version/errata of the card as long as both you and your opponent have a clear, up to date understanding of how the card works. For example, you can play pre-errata'd sangan as long as you know/ follow the current rulings of the post errata sangan. Hope this helps.
Alright I got one XZ Tank Cannon fusion and one regular Y Dragon Head on the field. Card ruling for XYZ Dragon Cannon is to banish X+Y+Z to summon. Can I use and banish XZ Tank Cannon as fusion material since it already technically is X and Z?
I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere. When someone's monster effect sends your monster that is a Fusion Monster into your hand how do you summon it again from your hand? Please help I'm so lost
I recently got back into the game after not playing since like 2005. I have been collecting cards and recently got "Dowsing Fusion". Can someone explain how this card works? Can I use it to fusion summon Pendulum Fusion type monsters (which I don't have yet if they exist) or is it like polymerization except you use pendulum monsters as materials? There is such to learn since I last played and it can be overwhelming. Thank you!
Hi. Welcome back. Anyways, dowsing fusion uses ONLY pendulum monster materials from the graveyard to summon a fusion monster that meets the requirements (fusion monster doesn't have to be pendulum). A common play is someone xyz summoning 2 lv 7 pendulum monsters (1 being odd-eyes) into odd eyes absolute dragon. Then use Absolute as link material just to have the level 7 pendulums in the grave (also Absolute floating effect but thats besides the point). You then use dowsing fusion to fuse those 2 pendulums in the grave to fusion summon odd eyes vortex dragon. Hope this helps.
This might be late but lets say your fusion monster is targeted by compulsory evacuation device which puts monster back in hand. Extra deck monsters like synchros, fusions, xyzs and links will go back to the extra deck instead.
a quick question you know how polymerization says it can fuses monsters in your hand say I have 1 blue eyes on the field and 2 blues eyes in hand do I still fuse them without them being on the field?
What if I have for example, two blue eyes in my hand and one on the field, can I use both at once or do they all have to be in my hand or all on the field?
Can be either unless the card says otherwise. The only example I can think of is Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, which only takes "on field" monsters. There are also some fringe cases where the fusion spell states where specifically. Fusion Substitute, for example, is just poly but only on the field. Hope this helps.
So if I have polymerzation and the material are in the graveyard. I can't fusion summon??? But isn't the graveyard part of the field as clearly stated by the card
The "field" referenced by card text is the combination of each player's Monster Zones, Spell & Trap Zones, Pendulum Zones and Field Zones. Thus, the field is shared and each player controls only one side of it. From the wiki.
MrBurntPie you can do both but bare in mind if you summon furious outside of the proper method in this case being fusion first once he hits the grave he’s not coming back due to not being properly summoned if you fuse properly first you can revive him from the grave later if you have to.
Question: So, I was looking at various prints of "polymerization." It looks like there are many different printings with different wording. What is the official ruling and can you run a copy with a different text?
You can play it. Different text means either: -Updated to modern terms aka "problem solving card text" or psct for short. -has an errata or changed effect. An example is sangan where they gave it a hard once per turn clause and a restriction. (For poly, it doesn't have an errata but wanted to point this out) Most recent poly is "Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material." (As long as both you and your opponent know how the most updated ruling/ text work, its fine to play older copies of cards) Hope this helps.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 This really helped, I'm really enjoying Yugioh but there is certainly a learning curve. Thank you for going into detail and explaining this to me.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 Sorry to take advantage, but I am having trouble finding the answer to this question: what does "+1 +" mean? for example, Alba Lenatus states that it requires 1 fallen of albaz +1 + dragon monsters as fusion material. Does this mean that I must use one fallen of albaz plus at least 1 dragon monster (but can use more if I so wish?)
@@Bravco509 Yes. In that scenario, 1+ means you can use just 1 material or more than 1 material. It gives you flexibility. Another card example on top of my head is Number 75 Bamboozling Gossip Shadow which takes 2+ level 3 monsters. Aka 2 or more level 3s. Chineratech archtype is also an example of fusions that use 1+.
i have always not liked how i need polymerization to fusion summon, I think that’s dumb, I should be able to just fuse my monsters but that’s just my opinion
This might be late but it depends on which fusion spell you are talking about. Stuff like hand or field like the original polymerization can fuse from either hand and/ or field so you can use both. Other spells will be more specific. For example, "fusion substitute" uses only monsters on field. Hope this helps.
DuelistKING it's a general thing. Sure, probably the novices will screw up via the certain rulings but hopefully (and I mean that) good locals can explain as to why and also for novices to be open minded and trust yugioh wikia.
Okay so I have a question my buddy has a card it’s a link monster if he tributes 2 effect monsters he can summon it and then he can fusion summon a monster using monsters on his field does it have to be the monster listed on the fusion card material ?
This might be late but Im assuming hes using proxy f magician or verte anaconda. For proxy f, the materials have to be on the field. If its verte, just apply the fusion spell's effect sent by its effect. For both, whatever fusion monster you summon, you still have to meet the conditions to summon it. Lets say starving venom fusion dragon. You will still meed 2 dark monsters to fuse. Same with blue eyes ultimate. You still need the 3 blue eyes. Hope this helps.
when u have shit ton fo fusion monsters and thier fusion material but own not even a single copy of poly ,feels bad man well atleast theres synchro summon that doesnt require much :D
can I fusion summon using a combination of a monster in my hand with a monster on the field?? or does both monsters HAVE to be from your hand or both monster HAVE to be on the field?
Read the effect* of what's causing the fusion summon and it will tell you where your materials must be. Here are some examples: *exception to contact fusion (like xyz dragon cannon, neos fusions or gladiator beast fusion monsters) generally will be only monsters on field and will not require a fusion spell but will tell you where to out the materials to perform a contact fusion. Polymerization requires monsters from hand or field. Fusion substitute is a spell that requires "monsters you control" so only on field. Cards like miracle fusion (for elemental heros) require materials from field or graveyard. Hope this helps.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 yeah so i know all this but i want some clarification for polymerization sorry hahaha I shoulda been more specific. For example, Can i use polymerization and fusion summon elemental hero flare wingman with burstinatrix on field and avian in my hand? Cause the polymerization card says hand or field but doesnt specify hand AND/OR field. So just looking for some clarification. Please let me know and thank you in advance!
yes. they are all contact fusions are they not? that would mean if you meet the requirements of what you want to summon are on your field you can just keep going. same as with ranking up a Xyz monster like Utopia
BattleBeastsKing unfortunately it isn’t by nature of its requirements needing a fusion card and contact fusion requires monsters to be return to the deck to perform the fusion.
If you’re referring to fusion cards in general try to have a good balance of those that work with the cards you’re using but don’t let it take priority over the Balance of your deck too many fusion spells will lead to too many inconvenient dead draws unless used properly like if you’re going to use three polymerizations keep it at that but add tech cards that can search and recycle them so you don’t have to worry too much about consistency using only one when you’re main source of offense is your fusions monster means you’ll rarely bring em out outside of alternative methods which can hinder your reaction speed in duels.
This might be late but if you're talking about monster reborn, then yes. It won't if the monster used as material wasn't properly summoned first. Like a synchro cheated out of the extra deck by a non-synchro summon method. Or a monster that says "must first be summoned by doing something first"

@Alvin Leo Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !
Love this video. It made me realize im more of a noob than i thought. Ive played yugioh video games before and never knew that i couldnt special summon a fusion monster that was banished or in the grave if it wasnt properly fusion summoned first.
Perfect, now i can bring out my ultimate card; Sanwitch!

shaddolls are good too
I always heard people say defusion can be used on your opponent. Is that true???
Yes it is trust me I know
Yea it is
Thank you cimooooo for getting me into yu gi oh and teaching me to play
Thank you!! It’s nice to have this info so easily explained
For traditional fusion, there's a few exceptions where certain effect monsters can fill in the spot for certain pre-requisite conditions.
Alex, riddle me this; How has youtube been around since 2005 and yet it took this long to get a legitimate series that perfectly explains a lot of the basic necessities required to play the game? Like really, man, this could really help a lot of people who are having a hard time getting into the game.

There are 2 ways to revive a fusion monster in Yu-Gi-Oh is 1. Monster reborn which you already know that because you just explained it, 2.

You are amazing l have learned from you how to xyz , cincro and now fusion
You make this soooooooooo easy cimoo!! Thx!!
Dude thank you so much I had all these cards saying fusion which I dont have polermrazation and I'm like aw man but then I went to you you told me there's a thing called contact summoning thank you so much your the best 😁
awesome videos just got in the game helps a lot !
Glad to hear it! :)
Some one mentioned that you came up with the fusion card called hormonic synchro fusion... 5 years ago...
I just saw a commercial for a detective pikachu movie and HELL YES
Time for my ultimate card doge description wow so powerful such atk
Persona and SMT come to mind when I think of Fusions.
Imagine if the cartoon actually followed the rules of the game.
I Activate Polymerization! I fuse Zombyra the dark and that skull thing, I fusion Summon! Appear! A Warrior from a different Dimension! You cant summon any monsters! *opponent: Scoops*
If you can get A Warrior from a Different Dimension, Spell Canceller, and Jinzo out on the field, then you're pretty much home free.

The Best Form of summoning
tell that to a pendulum summon!

Can some monsters be in your hand and others on the field, or all the to-be-fusioned monsters must be in the same place?
thank you very much for these videos! they help a lot
what happens if an effect states to put a monster from the GY to the main deck? could i choose a fusion monster and put if back into the extra deck?
Any monster originally summoned from the extra deck is always returned to the extra deck through effects that mention moving cards to the deck.
@@HyperSolarix255 thanks
I’m curious, am I able to summon as many fusion monsters as I want or am I limited to only 1 fusion monster out on my field at a time?
that was very informative

Cards have different text because when they get a reprint, they update the wording of the card to make it have clearer effects/ less text/ updated rulings/ change in jargon, etc.
You can play any version/errata of the card as long as both you and your opponent have a clear, up to date understanding of how the card works.
For example, you can play pre-errata'd sangan as long as you know/ follow the current rulings of the post errata sangan.
Hope this helps.
I thought you fusion summoned by placing materials from grave/field/hand on the bottom of your deck :)
Does fusion summoning need monsters to tribute if it is lvl 5 or higher
Can i use a poly on any monster without a montester on my extra deck?
Alright I got one XZ Tank Cannon fusion and one regular Y Dragon Head on the field. Card ruling for XYZ Dragon Cannon is to banish X+Y+Z to summon. Can I use and banish XZ Tank Cannon as fusion material since it already technically is X and Z?
Mauricio Perez No.
I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere. When someone's monster effect sends your monster that is a Fusion Monster into your hand how do you summon it again from your hand? Please help I'm so lost
if an extra deck monster is returned to the hand it is sent to the extra deck instead
Thanks
Tysm
can fusion monsters be sacrificed for a tribute summon?
Unless it specifies otherwise, then yes.
Ok because a friend who I waz dueling used change of heart took my blue eye ultimate Dragon and tribute it for a Great Maju Garzett
I recently got back into the game after not playing since like 2005. I have been collecting cards and recently got "Dowsing Fusion". Can someone explain how this card works? Can I use it to fusion summon Pendulum Fusion type monsters (which I don't have yet if they exist) or is it like polymerization except you use pendulum monsters as materials? There is such to learn since I last played and it can be overwhelming. Thank you!
Hi. Welcome back. Anyways, dowsing fusion uses ONLY pendulum monster materials from the graveyard to summon a fusion monster that meets the requirements (fusion monster doesn't have to be pendulum).
A common play is someone xyz summoning 2 lv 7 pendulum monsters (1 being odd-eyes) into odd eyes absolute dragon. Then use Absolute as link material just to have the level 7 pendulums in the grave (also Absolute floating effect but thats besides the point). You then use dowsing fusion to fuse those 2 pendulums in the grave to fusion summon odd eyes vortex dragon.
Hope this helps.
Can a fusion summon return to the hand or do they always return to extra deck?
This might be late but lets say your fusion monster is targeted by compulsory evacuation device which puts monster back in hand. Extra deck monsters like synchros, fusions, xyzs and links will go back to the extra deck instead.
a quick question you know how polymerization says it can fuses monsters in your hand say I have 1 blue eyes on the field and 2 blues eyes in hand do I still fuse them without them being on the field?
Turles Yeah.
What if I have for example, two blue eyes in my hand and one on the field, can I use both at once or do they all have to be in my hand or all on the field?
you can use a combination of monster in your hand or field. It doesnt have to be all in on one of them
I got a question can you face your extra deck down or do they have to see it?
Extra Deck goes face down on the field
This video has more about where cards go on the field
ruclips.net/video/nxjsrae09nA/видео.html
1:51 Can it be from BOTH, a combination? F.e.: 2 Dragons from my hand and 1 from the field? Or only from hand / only from field? Please help!
Can be either unless the card says otherwise.
The only example I can think of is Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, which only takes "on field" monsters. There are also some fringe cases where the fusion spell states where specifically. Fusion Substitute, for example, is just poly but only on the field.
Hope this helps.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 Yes, it does! Thank you so much for the kind reply!
so, you can fusion summon from any cards in your hand and on the field?
Jon Gillet Correct.
@@Cimoooooooo I have a question does your extra deck need to be faced down or up for others to see?
Stink In tournament play, it must always be face-down, but casually you can choose either.
So if I have polymerzation and the material are in the graveyard. I can't fusion summon???
But isn't the graveyard part of the field as clearly stated by the card
The "field" referenced by card text is the combination of each player's Monster Zones, Spell & Trap Zones, Pendulum Zones and Field Zones. Thus, the field is shared and each player controls only one side of it. From the wiki.
Do you have to fusion summon or special summon Borreload Furious Dragon? Please help?
MrBurntPie you can do both but bare in mind if you summon furious outside of the proper method in this case being fusion first once he hits the grave he’s not coming back due to not being properly summoned if you fuse properly first you can revive him from the grave later if you have to.
Question: So, I was looking at various prints of "polymerization." It looks like there are many different printings with different wording. What is the official ruling and can you run a copy with a different text?
You can play it. Different text means either:
-Updated to modern terms aka "problem solving card text" or psct for short.
-has an errata or changed effect. An example is sangan where they gave it a hard once per turn clause and a restriction. (For poly, it doesn't have an errata but wanted to point this out)
Most recent poly is "Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material."
(As long as both you and your opponent know how the most updated ruling/ text work, its fine to play older copies of cards)
Hope this helps.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 This really helped, I'm really enjoying Yugioh but there is certainly a learning curve. Thank you for going into detail and explaining this to me.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 Sorry to take advantage, but I am having trouble finding the answer to this question: what does "+1 +" mean? for example, Alba Lenatus states that it requires 1 fallen of albaz +1 + dragon monsters as fusion material. Does this mean that I must use one fallen of albaz plus at least 1 dragon monster (but can use more if I so wish?)
@@Bravco509 Yes. In that scenario, 1+ means you can use just 1 material or more than 1 material. It gives you flexibility.
Another card example on top of my head is Number 75 Bamboozling Gossip Shadow which takes 2+ level 3 monsters. Aka 2 or more level 3s. Chineratech archtype is also an example of fusions that use 1+.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 You've been really helpful (you should make RUclips videos!) thank you.
I take it that this is before they added the extra zones.
I still can't be able to fusion summon rebd with the fusion spell. That spell stays set and can't activated
If you use a pendulum deck the pendulum reborn is a musthave
i have always not liked how i need polymerization to fusion summon, I think that’s dumb, I should be able to just fuse my monsters but that’s just my opinion
There are alternatives. Links like verte anaconda and proxy f magician helps.
since fusion monsters aren't part of the main deck, when destroyed , do you still send them to the graveyard?
Yes.
Cimoooooooo , Ok thanks, i was really confused by that.
Bender Rodriquez BENDER old pal how are you it's me zoidberg
Better than you .Hahahahahaha.Oh wait, your serious.....Let me laugh even harder.ahh na, your good.Still living in an dumpster?
Can i use spell card "metamorphosis" to summon "e-hero phoenex enforcer" or " cyber twin dragon"
Yes, but not in tournament play, seeing as Metamorphosis is a banned card.
Hi,can I fusion for example cyber twin dragon by fusing 1 cyber dragon from field and 1 from hand? Since in the card text there is no "and"?
This might be late but it depends on which fusion spell you are talking about. Stuff like hand or field like the original polymerization can fuse from either hand and/ or field so you can use both.
Other spells will be more specific. For example, "fusion substitute" uses only monsters on field.
Hope this helps.
ty@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360
Is it not worth mentioning Material substitute cards like King of the Swamp?
I didn't feel the need. After watching this video, if someone reads a card like King of the Swamp, they will understand how it functions.
DuelistKING it's a general thing. Sure, probably the novices will screw up via the certain rulings but hopefully (and I mean that) good locals can explain as to why and also for novices to be open minded and trust yugioh wikia.
I'm still here but I am already lost. So many details to know. I didn't even begin with the xyz and pendulum. HELP
Can you use cards from your hand and field or is it one or the other
Hand and field
Okay so I have a question my buddy has a card it’s a link monster if he tributes 2 effect monsters he can summon it and then he can fusion summon a monster using monsters on his field does it have to be the monster listed on the fusion card material ?
This might be late but Im assuming hes using proxy f magician or verte anaconda. For proxy f, the materials have to be on the field. If its verte, just apply the fusion spell's effect sent by its effect.
For both, whatever fusion monster you summon, you still have to meet the conditions to summon it. Lets say starving venom fusion dragon. You will still meed 2 dark monsters to fuse. Same with blue eyes ultimate. You still need the 3 blue eyes.
Hope this helps.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 that card is why I'm here thank you for clearing my confusion
when u have shit ton fo fusion monsters and thier fusion material but own not even a single copy of poly ,feels bad man well atleast theres synchro summon that doesnt require much :D
Majiku kado - Yuugo hatsudo!
Cimo i have a question i use blue eyes and i have ultimate dragon so is blue eyes ultimete dragon treted as a norml monster
Yes. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is a non-effect Fusion monster.
can I fusion summon using a combination of a monster in my hand with a monster on the field?? or does both monsters HAVE to be from your hand or both monster HAVE to be on the field?
Read the effect* of what's causing the fusion summon and it will tell you where your materials must be. Here are some examples:
*exception to contact fusion (like xyz dragon cannon, neos fusions or gladiator beast fusion monsters) generally will be only monsters on field and will not require a fusion spell but will tell you where to out the materials to perform a contact fusion.
Polymerization requires monsters from hand or field.
Fusion substitute is a spell that requires "monsters you control" so only on field.
Cards like miracle fusion (for elemental heros) require materials from field or graveyard.
Hope this helps.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 yeah so i know all this but i want some clarification for polymerization sorry hahaha I shoulda been more specific.
For example, Can i use polymerization and fusion summon elemental hero flare wingman with burstinatrix on field and avian in my hand? Cause the polymerization card says hand or field but doesnt specify hand AND/OR field. So just looking for some clarification. Please let me know and thank you in advance!
@@GoToSleep1 sorry about that.
Yes. Poly can use monsters from both hand and/or field. The example you gave works.
@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 Thank you so much!
Ult Blue-Eyes needs 5 total cards, some of which are useless without the others. At that point, isn't it just better to run Exodia? lol
I have a question the card a-to-z dragon buster cannon is a fusion of to fusions, can you summon the two fusions and then that card in the same turn?
yes. they are all contact fusions are they not? that would mean if you meet the requirements of what you want to summon are on your field you can just keep going. same as with ranking up a Xyz monster like Utopia
Inside The Dark thank you
np
And then there's D/D messing up the entire fusion stuff
So I can use monster reborn on the fusion material blue eyes when ultimate is still on the field?
Yes you can revive it.
What about red fusion card at card use cards are in you deck
Hey is Surging Dragon Knight Dragoequites a contact fusion monster?
BattleBeastsKing unfortunately it isn’t by nature of its requirements needing a fusion card and contact fusion requires monsters to be return to the deck to perform the fusion.
How many polymerisation cards should be in my deck ?
You can only have up to 3 copies of any card in your deck.
If you’re referring to fusion cards in general try to have a good balance of those that work with the cards you’re using but don’t let it take priority over the Balance of your deck too many fusion spells will lead to too many inconvenient dead draws unless used properly like if you’re going to use three polymerizations keep it at that but add tech cards that can search and recycle them so you don’t have to worry too much about consistency using only one when you’re main source of offense is your fusions monster means you’ll rarely bring em out outside of alternative methods which can hinder your reaction speed in duels.
@@dayvonlouis5187 thanks.
Can material be brought back from the graveyard ?
This might be late but if you're talking about monster reborn, then yes.
It won't if the monster used as material wasn't properly summoned first. Like a synchro cheated out of the extra deck by a non-synchro summon method. Or a monster that says "must first be summoned by doing something first"
What's the intro music?
How do you polymerization??
