Od 18.7.2011 se budou moci na oficiálních turnajích hrát nová XYZ (čti eksíd) monstra. Rulingy níže vychází z oficiálních OCG rulingů a očekáváme že velmi podobné nebo naprosto stejné budou i pro TCG.
An Xyz Summon (pronounced ik-seez, エクシ一ズ召喚, Ekushīzu Shōkan) is a type of Summoning featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime and manga series.
Xyz Summons can be conducted when there are two or more monsters of the same Level on the field. Those monsters can be used as Xyz Materials to Summon an Xyz Monster whose Rank is the same as the Levels of the monsters used.
In order to Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster, you must first take the required Xyz Materials face-up on your side of the field and stack them together. Then, the Xyz Monster is Xyz Summoned from your Extra Deck, and placed on top of the stack.
Xyz Materials are not sent to the Graveyard. Instead, they are placed on the same Monster Card Zone beneath the Summoned Xyz Monster.
The respective Battle Positions of the Xyz Materials do not matter, so long as they are all face-up. However, once you have Xyz Summoned your Xyz Monster, ensure that the entire stack is neatly aligned in face-up attack position, regardless of whether or not the Xyz Monster is summoned in face-up ATK or DEF position.
An Xyz Summon is a type of Special Summon, and an Xyz Monster is a Special Summon-Only monster.
Some effects may require you to remove Xyz Materials from an Xyz Monster. In this case, the required Xyz Materials are taken from beneath the Xyz Monster in question and sent to the Graveyard. Be wary though, as some such effects may have a backside if an Xyz Monster have no Xyz Materials left beneath it.
Xyz Materials are not considered ‘on the field’. Therefore, an effect such as that of „Sangan“ will not trigger, while effects such as „Dandylion’s“ will still trigger (different from „Sangan“ in that it does not have to enter the Graveyard from the field to get its effect). Also if a ‘revived’ Monster like „Quillbolt Hedgehog“ or „Plaguespreader Zombie“ is used as an Xyz Material and sent to the Graveyard, it remains in the Graveyard.
Note that an Xyz Monster Special Summoned via any means other than an Xyz Summon will not have any Xyz Materials beneath it. Therefore, any negative effects that might apply to an Xyz Monster in such a state will be applied immediately.
If an Xyz Monster is flipped face-down, the Xyz Materials beneath it are not sent to the graveyard.
If a card that would banish cards sent to the graveyard (such as „Macro Cosmos“ or „Banisher of the Radiance“) is in effect, when an Xyz monster is destroyed/removed from the field the Xyz Materials beneath it are banished. However if an effect that would banish a Monster(s) on the field (like „Dimensional Fissure“) is activated, only the Xyz Monster will be affected. The Materials used will be sent to the Graveyard.
Trap Monsters can be used as Xyz Materials.
In the OCG/TCG, Tokens cannot be used as Xyz Materials.
