Lonefire Blossom
"Lonefire Blossom", a card with an Ignition Effect.

Ignition Effects (Japanese: 起動効果 Kidō Kōka, "Startup effect"), formerly known as Cost Effects[citation needed], are Spell Speed 1 monster effects that require a manual activation by the card's controller during their Main Phase.

Post-Problem-Solving Card Text, these type of effects will generally be indicated by "Once per turn:", "You can" or "During your Main Phase:", followed by the cost which will end with a semi-colon(;), and lastly, the actual effect which you activated.

Priority[edit]

Under previous rules, it was possible to activate an Ignition Effect in response to the monster's own Summon. This was removed from the OCG on March 19, 2011, and from the TCG on April 25, 2012. Ignition Effects can now only be activated during an open game state.

When the turn player Summoned a monster with an Ignition Effect, because they had priority to activate an effect, they could activate the Summoned monster's Ignition Effect before the opponent could activate a fast effect.

For example, the turn player could Summon "Lonefire Blossom" and activate its effect before their opponent could activate "Eatgaboon".
