Forum:Level Eater use for syncro summon

Level Eater/Effect If this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate its effect by selecting 1 face-up Level 5 or higher monster you control. Reduce that monster's Level by 1. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. This card cannot be Tributed except for a Tribute Summon.

The last line "effect except for tribute summon".Tribute summon is considered as normal summon. It means you cannot use level eater as a tribute for syncro summon, because syncro summon is a special summon. But the tips said it can be use. Please make the right rulings for this card's effect. Its easy to summon high level syncro monster by using this card as tribute. ex.Trishula...The Level Eater in this situation serve as replacement to the deducted level of level 5 or highier monster. The odd is, it is not tribute or normal summon but special. Level Eater effect declares only in tribute summon.

Please make clarification about this entry.Thanks
