Cost Effects

[Beatdowbbb]

If a monster effect has a cost to activate it

example : Strike Ninja

is that effect a Cost effect ?


i think it is but some disagree so i really wanted to know

A Cost Effect is basically a Spell Speed 1 Monster Efect.

"Strike Ninja's" effect is a Multi-Trigger effect.

The term "Cost Effect" is where the misunderstandings begin. That really should be updated to more accurately reflect the types of effects. Many Multi-Trigger effects have a cost, while many Cost Effects do not.

homunculus the Alchemic Being being an execellent example of a cost effect monster that really doesnt have a cost

 

[Fiendish Envoy]

Another one is "The Creator", which everyone thinks does have a cost, but it doesn't

What's wrong with the Creator? I thought it can only summon monster in its own main phases? Why is it not a cost?

 

[densetsu_x]

"The Creator" is a "Cost Effect" monster that has no "Cost" to activate the effect. The part about discarding a card to the graveyard is done during the resolution of the effect (which is why you can't discard a card and then just pick it for the effect).
