User:Kagimizu/Evo Summon

An Evo Summon is the act of Special Summoning an Evo Monster from the Extra Deck.

An Evo Summon is performed by Summoning a Potential Monster face-up on the field, then activating a Trigger. The Trigger is the effect of either a Spell, Trap, or Monster card. Upon activating the Trigger, the Potential Monster and in most cases the Trigger are both sent to the Graveyard, and the Evo Monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

Evo Summoning is has very similar attributes to Fusion and Ritual Summoning, requiring two or more specific cards to summon another specific Monster. However, most Evo Summons require that the necessary components be in the Graveyard. If the cards are not in the controller's Graveyard, the Evo Monster is destroyed, and either sent to the Graveyard or Banished.
