Edison-Accurate PSCT¶

Ⓢ Cannot be Special Summoned. ① While this card is attacking, opponent can’t activate Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. ② Negate the effects of monsters destroyed by battle with this card (including Flips and monsters in the GY).

Card Rulings¶

About the ① effect:

• It is a Continuous Effect, it applies from attack declaration until the Damage Step ends.

• Spell/Trap effects may still be activated (e.g. the effect of an already activated “Ultimate Offerring”/“Royal Oppression” or the GY effect of “Skill Successor”), the Continuous Effect of Traps will also continue to apply.

• After the Damage Step ends, it returns to the Battle Step. Then, the turn player retains priority to declare an attack, there is not a window for the opponent to activate a Spell/Trap inbetween two consecutive “Ancient Gear” attacks.

• If this card is destroyed by battle, this effect stops applying at the start of substep 6 of the Damage Step.

About the ② effect:

• This continuous effect effect applies from the moment the opponent’s monster is destroyed by battle during Damage Calculation until it leaves the GY.

• The destroyed monster’s effects that activate after Damage Calculation has been performed will be negated. e.g.: “Gemini Soldier”, “D.D. Warrior Lady”, “Mystic Tomato”, Flip and pseudo-Flip effects like “Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter”, “Snowman Eater” and GY effects like “Treeborn Frog”, “Plaguespreader Zombie”.

• The monster’s effects are only negated while on the field/in the GY. If the destroyed monster is banished instead (e.g. due to “Macro Cosmos”/“Dimensional Fissure”), its effects are not negated once it leaves the field.

• A “D.D. Survivor” that was banished after being destroyed by this card can successfully resolve it’s effect.
