Confusion about a card.

[Zazubat]

Now, I am not sure where to post this, but I will post it here I guess, so the card Gaski Vision has a thing I have never seen before. It says that "be used as an entire tribute" when ritual summoning. This confuses me, what does this mean?

First I thought it meant that it could be used to ritual summon a card that's level 2, but then I figured out, there isn't any that's level 2.

Then I thought it meant that you could simply have it be "the second link" meaning that it was the second one you used without having to use two monsters, because if I remember correctly, you need at least two monsters to summon a ritual monster, and since Gashki rituals require a precise level number, I thought that this card was used as that "second link" since it can be hard to hit the correct level, and you might have a monster which level is precisely that, but wouldn't be able to ritual summon it whichout this so called "second link."

So I am not sure, is this what it is used for is it something simple I don't get, thanks in advanced.

Aside from the fact the wiki exists for a reason....
Gishki Vision's effect means you can use him for the entire level requirement of said Ritual Summon, regardless of how many levels are required.

If you have a Level 8 Ritual Monster, you can use Vision Gishki for the entire Ritual Tribute. I don't know what's so hard about that. o.o

There was no ruling, so yeah. It was just worded weirdly, and it didn't make any sense, since you need two to ritual summon and this goes around the rule.

That's not presizely true. You can Ritual Summon a Level 8 Ritual Monster, using a Level 8 or higher Tribute in exchange, and that's it. You don't need at "least 2 monsters". As long as you fill the Levels, you can use just one.
Even Yugi did that in the show, using just Valkyrion for the Ritual Summon of Black Luster Soldier during the Duel with Dartz.

Though, you can go on top as much as you want. If you want to send 3 Blue Eyes for the Ritual Summon of 1 Relinquished, you are also free to do so.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can't purposely pick more when your levels are already met with the requirements. Otherwise Gishki-Hieratics would have been even more overpowered.

[Expelsword]

Yeah, you cannot excessively tribute monsters.

However, you CAN use a monster that says "[i]can [/i]be used as the whole tribute" and other monsters so that the Levels are correct for the Tribute, but that would be pretty stupid to do in most every situation.
