'''Summon''' is a [[Promo|promotional]] [[Event]].  It lets the buyer gain a cheap [[Action]] card and play it immediately at the start of their next turn.
== 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.
* Summoning a card that gains other cards when gained (such as {{Card|Border Village}} or {{Card|Death Cart}}) will cause the Summoned card to not be set aside, and thus not played at the start of your next turn.  This is because the extra cards gained cover up the Summoned card in the discard pile (since the Summoned card is not set aside immediately), causing the Summoned card to be lost track of.  This can still be the right move, however, if the card is {{Card|Embargo|Embargoed}} or under a {{Card|Contraband}}.
* 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 reveal a {{Card|Trader}} after Summoning a card, the {{Card|Silver}} you gain is not set aside, but stays in your 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.

== Trivia ==
[[Image:SummonArt.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Official card art.]]
[[Image:InvitationArt.jpg|thumb|right|First reveal image for Summon.]]
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=The artist drew a sketch of a wizard in a forest shooting out a stream of butterflies. I said looks good. Then he did another sketch, the woman in that place, conjuring the weird thing from {{Card|Transmogrify}}. I said well it's fine but I also liked the first sketch. Then he did a polished version. I said well the weird thing is weird and mentioned the butterflies again. He replaced it with a butterfly.

|Text=There was no special thing to commemorate with this promo, so we decided to pick a symbol that we could reuse if there were ever more promos. Something that said this was something special in some vague generic way. So: a flag.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=Altenburger, the German publisher, wanted a promo. I said, how about an Event? They said great. The Event actually promotes [[Adventures]], the set with Events. A first for our promos.

Playtester Matt Engel, aka LastFootnote, is a big designer of homemade cards. I said, do you want to make this promo? He said meh. A bad day. He did end up making it and trying to sell me on its virtues. It all worked out.

His initial premise was, "+1 Buy. Set aside the next Action card you buy this turn. At the start of your next turn, play it." I moved the buy into the functionality - "You may buy an Action card..." I initially was more interested in immediately playing the card, rather than next turn, but that turned out to be a dud.

Playtester [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1091 Stef Meijer] determined that "buy an action, play it next turn" was broken at {{Cost|2}}. It turns out you should just do it every turn. I fixed that by changing it to "Gain an Action card costing up to {{Cost|4}}." Or if you prefer, that direction meant the card didn't need a prohibitive price. It still conservatively cost {{Cost|6}} at first, but we weren't buying it all that much and Matt pushed for it to go down to {{Cost|5}}. It seemed fine at {{Cost|5}} and there it is. It's even better than the original on {{Cost|4}}'s, but you probably want some cards costing {{Cost|5}} at some point.

It has an unusual wording to deal with some of the weird things that can happen in Dominion. There are various ways for the card to vanish (e.g. {{Card|Watchtower}}), so to make sure you have the physical card around to tell you what to do next turn, it gets set aside and then makes sure it was.
