With the changes to when Ignition effects can be activated, I figured I would do a post on each type of monster effect and when they can be activated.

Ignition Effects:  These effects can only be used during your turn during an open game state in Main Phase 1 or 2.  A list of monsters with Ignition Effects is below.  Please note, your opponent will be able to respond to the summon of these monster's BEFORE they can activate their effects.

Trigger Effects:  These effects are triggered by something happening, ex. being summoned, destroyed and sent to the graveyard, discarded by a card effect, another card being summoned etc.  If your opponent responds to the summon to destroy the monster, these monster's will still get their effects.  If the summon is negated and the monster's effect is triggered by a summon, then that monster's effect will not activate.  List of monster's with trigger effects is below
