Revision as of 04:52, 2 March 2011
Ignition Monster Effects require a manual activation by the card's controller during their Main Phase 1 or 2 (unless stated otherwise on the card). 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.
As of March 19th 2011, for the OCG only, and May 31st 2011, for the TCG, these effects can no longer be activated in response to a monster's Summon; e.g. In the OCG, you cannot activate the effect of "Lonefire Blossom" while you retain Priority when you Summon it.
