Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

Reads: Cannot be Normal Summoned/set. Must first be special summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 light and 1 dark from your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can activate 1 of these effects ...

Do you have to tribute to summon this card? I know traditionally it wasn't needed, but when it was taken off the forbidden list Konami added that it FIRST must be special summoned by banishing one light and one dark. This makes me believe that an 8 star tribute is also required. Email me with the answer as well as posting on this forum please.
