Why can't I use a "Return of the Dragon Lords" to special Summon a Scrap Dragon in my graveyard?

I got the bug card that lets you pay 3k life to send a monster from your extra deck to the graveyard. I did it with the thinking that, as long as it was level 7 or 8, I could summon it back. So I tested it on SEVERAL synchro monsters and it just plain doesn't work! Does anyone know why this is / might be?

i think it needs to be summon first from synchrow summon. then you can summon it normaly

The card doesn't say that though. I purposefully picked synchro cards that DO NOT say "must first be synchro summoned" on them, because I thought that would allow me to circumvent the requirement.

But wait, even on cards that DO NOT SAY they have to first be summoned that way? So is that a general rule of the game that is not listed? Because some cards actually DO say that they must first be synchro summoned, whereas some do not say that at all.

BTW I fixed the imgur link Steam did something weird to it lol http://i.imgur.com/FolBrJl.jpg

im not sure if its right or not. don't count me on it. but its likely if it does not work if you tried it a lot of times and it does not work.

YOU ARE CORRECT. I finally found something online that lists this as a "rule" despite it not being explicitly stated!.

Thank you for the help ^_^
