What's Chain Summon?

 

Wikia is being a b****.

 

chain summon reads:

play only as chain link 3 or higher, you may normal summon up to 3 times this turn, you may not play this card if there are multiple copies of the same spell in the chain.

[Guest PikaPerson01]

You get 3 normal summons.

 

Learn what "up to" means.

but what about double summon?

What's Chain Summon?

 

Spelling is being important.

 

Fix'd.

I just found out it's called Chain Summoning.

Stop confusing people.

 

Anyway' date='

# If "Chain Summoning" and "Double Summon" are activated during the same turn, you still can only Normal Summon or Set up to 3 times.

 

It's a stupid ruling because Double Summon gives you 'an additional summon' and doesn't say 'You can summon 2 times this turn'. Also, the effect of Chain Summoning is a different effect.

 

Anyway, it's BKSS.

Exiro: Still, Chain Summoning says "up to". It's on the card!

that sucks, but a) at least i won't make that mistake when i try to make a gemini deck, and b) what about after the chain, so we have x,y chain, and then after double? same or different?

Yeah, but that's just the effect of Chain Summoning.

 

I mean, don't the rules state that you can only Normal Summon/Set 1 monster per turn?

 

Then why can I Normal Summon another one when I use Double Summon?

 

Because it's a additional Normal Summon.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

The effect of Double Summon lets you summon an additional time after your Normal Summon, but the fact that Chain Summoning has a specific number of times you can Normal Summon, that changes the number to the specified amount. In other words, once Chain Summoning is activated, you can ONLY summon up to 3 times for Normal Summons, no matter what other cards you activate. Chain Summoning makes your max Normal Summon that turn to 3. It's a cap, and an increaser.

[Guest]

Picture Chain Summoning as a gas inside a container, Double Summon as a solid smaller than said container, and "3 Normal Summons" as said container.

 

While alone in the container, Chain Summoning expands to fill the whole container. However, if you add Double Summon into the container, Chain Summoning shrinks so that it still merely fills the container.

 

Chain Summoning does not place a strict cap on the number of times you can Normal Summon that turn, as other effects like Ultimate Offering can let you go past that cap. However, if you do go past that cap, Chain Summoning won't provide any help at all.
