Edison-Accurate PSCT

① If this card is in your GY: You can place 1 card from your hand on the top of the Deck; Special Summon this card (banish it if it leaves the field).

Card Rulings

On Activating the effect:

  • This is an ignition effect, so you can Normal Summon a monster, and use this card’s effect with ignition priority.

  • This effect is not “Once per turn”. If “Royal Oppression” is chained to this effect, your card is still returned to the top of your Deck (as it is a cost), and this effect can activate again on a new chain.

On Banishing this card:

  • Once Summoned, it can’t be sent to the GY as a cost (but it can be tributed, used as material, etc)

  • Vs “Interdimensional Matter Transporter”: This card won’t return to the field.

  • Vs “Caius the Shadow Monarch”: If this card is banished this way, no damage is dealt.

  • Vs “Book of Moon”: “Banish it if it leaves the field” will no longer apply to this card.

Card Text

① You can return 1 card from your hand to the top of the Deck to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. ③ If you do, remove this card from play when it is removed from the field.

Card Rulings

  • The ① Ignition Effect activates & resolves in the Graveyard.

    • Placing a card from your hand on top of the Deck is a cost.

    • This effect does not target a card in the Graveyard. It is not negated by “Necrovalley”.

  • The ③ Lingering effect banishes this card when it would leave the field.

    • This does not start a chain.

    • This works like “Battle Fader’s” Condition - meaning that “Caius the Shadow Monarch” will not inflict Effect Damage if its effect banishes “Plaguespreader Zombie” summoned by the ① effect.

    • This effect disappears if “Plaguespreader Zombie” is flipped face-down.
