Ancient Lamp Question, Laugh.

[Fiction]

When Ancient Lamp is attacked while face down, and it's effect activates allowing their own monster to attack another one of their monsters activates, is Ancient Lamp then put face up on the field or does it remain face down until it is attacked by a single monster or destroyed by a card effect?

I mean I understand where it would be flipped face up to show it's ability and allow it to resolve, but also the damage step is never entered with it so there would officiall be no reason for it to ever be revealed except to show what it is Ancient Lamp.

I feel the wording is poor and to my knowlage UDE has not released any rulings on this card, but im sure some exist for OCG.

Also on the same grounds, are you allowed to use the effect to summon multiple La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp's per turn? Being the card says one, but not once per turn.

I don't quite understand what you're getting at Novastar. Could you give me a couple card examples for me to read? Like three to five examples if possible would be nice. I can't come up with a counter argument or even understand the mechanics if I have nothing to compare Ancient Lamp to.

Because so far the only Ignition Effects I can think of are those activated when a monster with an Ignition Effect is summoned -- like Chaos Sorcerer.

Remember that if you summon Ancient Lamp face up you could still activate its effect of summoning Lajinn... if it is face up on the field and you summon another monster Ancient Lamps (summoning Lajinn) effect is ignition and you could always choose to activate it when using priority.

It works as any other Ignition monster: Exiled Force, Abyss Soldier, Chaos Sorcerer, BLS etc.
