Link it up!

Along with a upcoming new Yu-gi-oh series and new card game rules, there is going to be a new type of monster and summoning. They are called Link monsters! You summon them from your Extra deck (like Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz monsters) via Link summoning. In order to Link summon, you need to use field monsters (that fit the requirements on the selected Link monsters card text) as Link material. You can also use Link monsters with lower Link numbers (shown next to the Link monsters attack points) to lessen the Link materials that you need for a link summon. Of course since Link monsters first come from the Extra deck, they need to be summoned to the Extra monster card zone first. On the bright side, since Link monsters have no Levels, Ranks, and Defense points, they are unaffected by card effects that target monsters with levels, ranks, and defense points. This also means that Link monsters can't be switched to defense or face down position. Link monsters also have one more trick up their sleeves. It's the thing I hinted at, at the end of yesterday's post. However, you are going to have to wait till tomorrow to find out.
