* The Summoned card is discarded during your clean up phase like a typical Action card, as it has been brought in play by the effect of Summon.
 
=== Official FAQ ===
 
=== Official FAQ ===
* When you buy this, you gain an Action card costing up to {{Cost|4}} from the [[Supply]] and set it aside face up.
 
* If you did set it aside, then at the start of your next turn, play that Action card. This doesn't use up your default Action for the turn.
 
* In order to remember to play the card on your next turn, you may want to turn it sideways or diagonally, turning it right side up when you play it.
 
* If you move the Action card after you gain it but before you set it aside (e.g. by putting it on top of your deck with {{Card|Watchtower}} from [[Prosperity|Dominion: Prosperity]]), then Summon will "[[Lose Track rule|lose track]]" of it and be unable to set it aside; in that case you will not play it at the start of your next turn.
 
* If you use Summon to gain a {{Card|Nomad Camp}} (from [[Hinterlands|Dominion: Hinterlands]]), Summon will know to find the Nomad Camp on your deck, so you will set it aside in that case (unless you have moved it elsewhere via another ability).
 
=== Other Rules clarifications ===
 
* The Summoned card is discarded during your Clean-up phase once its effects are resolved like a typical Action card, as it has been brought into play by the effect of Summon.
 
* If you are being {{Card|Possession|Possessed}}, and the player to your right tells you to Summon a card, they gain the card, which does not get set aside, nor played at the start of their turn, instead staying in their discard pile.
 
* If you Summon a {{Card|Hireling}}, you will draw a card when you play it, since it will still be the start of your turn.
 
* Summon will also fail to move a card if it moves away, and then moves back to the same place. For example, if you gain an {{Card|Experiment}}, exile it to {{Card|Gatekeeper}}, then gain the second {{Card|Experiment}} and discard the first {{Card|Experiment}} from [[Exile]], Summon will still fail to set aside the {{Card|Experiment}}, even though it's still in your discard pile.

Summon was revealed in an advertisement for the German edition of [[Adventures]], which mentioned the Event's inclusion if you bought the expansion.  In any language, Summon was supposed to be sold in a package that includes an updated version of {{Event|Pathfinding}} where the art actually fills the entire space available for it on the card, but the updated Pathfinding was not ready by the time Summon was up for publication.  For a time it was included in [[Empires]] during that set's playtesting, but ultimately was removed and became a promotional card.  It was designed by playtester [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?action=profile;u=81 LastFootnote], who also wrote the official FAQ.

|Text=Lose track has to exist due to ways you can actually lose track of cards. It needs a straightforward rule for what it means to lose track and well there it is. Summon meanwhile had to check for the card, because otherwise it might play a card that was hidden away, which is bad multiple ways.
 
  
Summon could have changed the gain-destination of the card to set-aside-land, rather than gaining it and setting it aside. That would be way more wordy and confusing, just to improve a small number of interactions.
 
 
Summon could not exist. There, now are you happy?

|Text=I don't like gaining without gaining, that's creating more rules questions than Summon / Death Cart stuff.
 
 
But, aha: "At the start of your next turn, +1 Action and gain to your hand an Action card costing up to {{Cost|4}}." {{Card|Villa}} and {{Card|Cobbler}} technology. Since we don't actually play it we don't need to worry about where it is, and since we delay the gain we don't need to set it aside. You do need to remember that you bought this. And of course it's dangerous with low piles.
