Phantom Summon

A Phantom Summon is a type of Summon introducing by HelixReactor. It is the act of "dematerializing" cards in the Graveyard and face-up cards in the Extra Deck, in order to Special Summon a Phantom Monster from the hand or face-up from the Extra Deck.

Mechanic
Phantom Summon is a type of Summon that gives the player very limited control over which Materials they want to use in order to Summon their monsters. For a player to Phantom Summon a Phantom Monster, they need to shuffle into their Deck a number of cards from the top of their Graveyard and/or face-up cards from the top of their Extra Deck, equal to that Phantom Monster's PRESENCE. In a similar fashion to Link Monsters, albeit in a more flexible manner, if a Phantom Monster would be used as a Phantom Material, it can be counted as a multiple number of Materials, up to its PRESENCE.

Examples

 * Spoopy Ghost: The player can use either 1 card from the top of their GY or the first face-up card in their Extra Deck that isn't this card as a Material to Phantom Summon this card.
 * Fallen Captain: The player can for example use the first 2 Level 4 or lower monsters from the top of their GY and the first face-up Level 4 or lower monster from the top of their Extra Deck.
