Composition Monsters ((こう)()モンスター, Kōzu Monsutā) are a type of monsters used in Yu-Gi-Oh! GSTART. They are stored in the Extra Deck, and the color of their card frame is red.

The reason for the name "Composition Monsters" derives from GSTART, where they are referred to as "compositions of their Materials' power".

Characteristics[]

Composition Monsters are Extra Deck monsters:

  • They cannot exist in the hand or the Main Deck; if a Composition Monster would be moved to the hand or Main Deck, it is returned to the Extra Deck instead.
  • If a Composition Monster is not properly Special Summoned by Composition Summon before being sent to the Graveyard or banished, it cannot be Special Summoned from there (even by effects that ignore Summoning conditions).

Composition Summoning[]

Main article: Composition Summon

A Composition Summon is the act of Summoning a Composition Monster from the Extra Deck using a Base monster with additional monsters. During the Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Composition Summon by using a Base monster specified on the Composition Monster you wish to Composition Summon, and stacking a number of monsters from your GY on top of that Base Monster face-up, also specified by the Composition Monster's Summoning Conditions.

Qualities[]

Main article: Quality

Composition Monsters have a Quality in place of a Level. A Composition Monster's Quality typically determines the required Level of the Base monster needed in order to Composition Summon it. A Composition Monster's Quality is depicted by a row of blue stars in white orbs (as opposed to the yellow stars in red orbs used to depict a monster's Level) that start in the middle and expand outwards.

Because they do not have Levels, Composition Monsters are unaffected by card effects that depend on a monster's Level (e.g.: "Gravity Bind"), and cannot become involved in actions that require monsters with Levels (e.g.: Synchro Summoning).

Composition Materials[]

Main article: Composition Material

Composition Materials are the requisite monsters needed to Composition Summon the Composition Monster. Each Composition Monster lists its required Composition Materials in the first line of its card text.

Composition Materials are kept in stacks near their Composition Monster. These stacks are not treated as being on the field, and are not treated as monsters. Base monsters on the field used for a Composition Summon are not considered to be leaving the field, but GY monsters used as material are considered to be leaving the GY.

Most Composition Monsters require the player to deactivate their Composition Materials as a cost to activate their effects, limiting their number of activations. If a Composition Monster leaves the field or ceases to be a monster, its Composition Materials are sent to the Graveyard. Composition Materials remain in their stack if a Composition Monster is flipped face-down.
