When World Legacy Clash removes a monster from play, if the monster was "special summoned" or "normal summoned", what does it become when it comes back ?
Does every monster that comes back with legacy clash become "normal summoned" monsters ?
There is, actually. Ruling for "return" effect states that when monsters are simply returned into the field, without any form of summon specified, then you refer to how they were summoned before.
This can also be verified by looking at the ruling for Interdimensional Matter Transporter, which does the same "banish then return" effect.
* If a Level 6 or higher monster is banished temporarily by an effect like "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", then the monster is still considered to have been Special Summoned. Thus, it will be affected by "Grave of the Super Ancient Organism".
I wonder if there is a card that can change a monster's status from "special summoned" to "normal summoned".
The reason is that I would like to easily put World Legacy - "World Armor" on the field and then use his secondary effect that requires you to "normal summon" him first.
I mean, 2 tributes is kind of expensive.
In some decks you need 3 turns.
You can't change a card's status from "Special Summoned" to "Normal Summoned" or vice versa. If you want to Tribute Summon, you should run some monsters that can special summon themselves from the hand or use cards that let you special summon monsters or tokens. Or run some trap monsters, but they might be too slow.
Well, too bad. I guess I have to give up on using that monster then.
Hmm, I wonder why the 'World Legacy - "World Armor"' card is Ultra Rare when its best effect (return itself and the special summoned monster) is nearly impossible to use (against decent players).
