Forum:Gaia Plate the Earth Giant vs Monster reborn

so I know Gaia Plate not only can be special summoned using his effect, he also can be normal summoned by tribute,but the effect doesn't say it can be only be special summoned by its effect, so can I special summon him using monster reborn?108.18.103.119 (talk) 22:40, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
