[YGO]Master Rule 4

"The new Monster type 'Cyberse-Type' debuts!
This is a monster type used by the main protagonist of the new animation 'Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS' and there will be more 'Cyberse-Type' monsters to be introduced in the future."



"The Monster Zones from the past will be now renamed as 'Main Monster Zones'."

"The Pendulum Zones will be integrated into the Spell & Trap Card Zones which are located at both the left and right ends."



"Link Monsters are the new monsters that can be Summoned from the Extra Deck!"
"Link Markers provide a new form of battle strategy, and this new type of monster cannot be in Defense Position(and have no DEF)."



(Note: Keep in mind that the "Link" on the bottom right corner is called "Link Rating" in TCG.)

"Link Summons (Similar to Synchro Summons and Xyz Summons) use face-up monsters on the field as its materials for this new Summoning method. Let's introduce this Link Summon here for you to Summon out your Link Monsters from the Extra Deck!

How to Link Summon:

During their Main Phase, the turn player can Link Summon a Link Monster from their Extra Deck by sending face-up monsters they control to the Graveyard as Link Materials; the number of Link Materials must be equal to the Link Monster's Link Rating. After that, the Link Monster is Summoned in either an Extra Monster Zone or a Main Monster Zone that a Link Monster on the field points to, in face-up Attack Position.

When using a Link Monster for a Link Summon, it can be treated as 1 Link Material, OR multiple Link Materials equal to its own Link Rating.

Here is a video explaining how to Link Summon:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebvGX8x-zDU

When two Link Monsters each have their markers pointing at one another, they are "Co-Linked". This is important for certain effects as well as something called "Extra Link".

https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=8355 <-- For Extra Link, see this article. I highly suggest you finish reading this guide and become familiar with the new rules as well as Link Summoning before reading this.

"When Summoning Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Pendulum monsters from the Extra Deck, they will be Special Summoned to your Extra Monster Zone. (If you are Special Summoning monsters from anywhere besides the Extra Deck, you will use the Main Monster Zones as before.)"

"However, there are ways to Special Summon monsters aside from your Extra Monster Zone.
Main Monster Zones pointed by 'Link Markers' of your Link Monster can be used to Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck.
More Link Monsters will arrive one after the other in the future to achieve the victory!"



"In this case, the 2 Main Monster Zones become as the zones that can be used to Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck!"

Keep in mind that when special summoning Link, Pendulum, Synchro or Xyz monsters from anywhere other than the Extra Deck, they will go to the Main Monster Zones rather than the Extra Monster Zones. This even applies to cards and effects such as PSYFramelord Omega, and Interdimensional Matter Transporter. Cards such as Lava Golem, Winged Dragon of Ra Sphere Mode and Kaijus go to Main Monster Zones, even if you tribute a monster in the Extra Monster Zone for their summon because only cards Special Summoned from the Extra Deck may go to the Extra Monster Zone.
