    Can a face-down monster be Tributed for summon?

    Yes, a facedown monster can be Tributed in order to Tribute Summon a monster. But as usual, you can only Tribute Summon if you have not already done your "Normal Summon or Set" for the turn. To perform the Tribute Summon, during your Main Phase I or II, send the monster(s) you are Tributing to...

    When is a monster considered "successfully" summoned?

    A monster is considered "successfully" summoned if the summon was not negated or did not "fizzle". If the effect is negated and can only be activated while the monster is on the field, it is still considered successfully summoned, because the summon itself was not what was negated. If the...

    Can you Set a monster that requires a Tribute?

    You can Set (in face-down Defense Position) a monster that requires a Tribute by meeting the requirements to Tribute Summon the monster (i.e. tributing monster cards). If the Level 5 or higher monster would be Special Summoned by a card effect, it cannot be placed face-down unless face-down...

    Can Summoning a Monster Mean Setting a Monster?

    Yes. However, this is very dependent upon the context. You get 1 Normal Summon OR Set per turn. A Set is usually the placing of a monster from your hand into an available Monster Card Zone, both face-down and horizontally - or put more simply "face-down Defense Position."
