Ignition Effect

Ignition Effects require a manual activation by the card's controller during their Main Phase 1 or 2 (unless stated otherwise on the card). They are available to use as soon as the card hits the field.

This type of effect used to be called a "Cost Effect" in the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh, which was slightly confusing because not all of those monsters had a cost.

Examples of Monster Ignition Effects: "Cyber Gymnast", "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", "Bazoo the Soul-Eater", "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind", "3-Hump Lacooda", "Card Trooper", "Dark Simorgh" and "XX-Saber Faultroll".
