Effect
Each turn, 1 Level 5 or higher Fiend monster you Normal Summon can be Summoned without Tributing. If exactly 1 Normal Summoned/Set Level 5 or higher Fiend monster (and no other cards) would be destroyed, you can send this card to the GY instead.
You can activate the card "Fiend's Sanctuary" at any time, except during the Damage Step.
(1): As long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, you can Normal Summon a Level 5 or higher Fiend monster without Tributing. This effect can only be applied once per turn. This effect does not create a Chain Link. (You can Normal Summon a Level 5 or higher monster without Tributing once per turn. This does not increase the number of times you can Normal Summon.)
When you Normal Summon a Level 5 or higher Fiend monster without Tributing by the effect of "Fiend's Sanctuary", you must summon it in face-up position. (You cannot forgo Tributing when Setting a monster.)
The effect "②: If exactly 1 Level 5 or higher Fiend monster that was Normal Summoned would be destroyed, you can send this card to the GY instead" does not start a Chain Link. (This can be applied during the Damage Step. It cannot be applied if it is being destroyed at the same time as other cards.)
