Subject: Yes you can!

Ok, this tip has been posted to say that nick (Paulw@epix.com CCG Strategy 
posted on July 10 was FREAKING WRONG! You CAN use cards like card destruction 
and the cheerful coffin and then use monster reborn on them. Read the exact 
text from the official website.

Special Summon of high level monsters by "Monster Reborn"

Q: If I Special Summon a Level 5 or higher monster using "Monster Reborn", do 
I have to offer a Tribute for the monster?
A: No. You can Special Summon a Level 5 or higher monster without offering a 
Tribute using "Monster Reborn", even when it is discarded from your hand to 
the Graveyard. However, you cannot use “Monster Reborn” to Special Summon a 
Fusion Monster, Ritual Monster or some special monsters like "Gate Guardian", 
etc. that were not initially Special Summoned in the normal manner and sent 
to the Graveyard. However, if these monsters were initially Special Summoned 
and destroyed in the normal way, you can use “Monster Reborn” to Special 
Summon them from the Graveyard.

What this says is that you can use it to special summon normal monsters 
normally no matter how they died. BUT you can't revive a fusion monster or a 
ritual monster (things that require a certain monster sacrifices) when their 
sacrafices have not been paid (The fusion components, ritual sacrafices, 
Sanga of thunder, Kazejin, Suijin).

And as for his comment about trap cards we don't have to look at the official 
website. It's in the basic rule book!
You can Set these cards on the field and activate them at any time after the 
start of your opponent’s next turn. I don't know what possesed this guy but 
he should read the book before he preaches it.
