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.
