I think the biggest fool in scenario one is the one who thinks Horn of the Phantom Beast can make a difference in 2024.

Konami hiring lawyers to write their card text again.

This is truly a card that didnt need to exist

Glad I watched this vid. Learned new things. Knowledge is power, y'all! Great content, TomBox! 💪🔥

Can you imagine someone hits you with d barrier, then transaction rollback on d barrier, and then finally when you think they're done they hit you with spellbound? Jesust.

It's a bit unfortunate, that we don't have an official TCG-ruling concerning the rollback-epudemicVirus interaction. You'd think, since this is pretty much the very first thing people wanted to copy, after rollback has been announced, there'd be an official statement about that. But no. This is very suboptimal.

Can you make a list with all traps with strong effect but high costs for transaction rollback?

I literally asked this question last night regarding branded banishment, thanks for the video! So if I'm interpreting correctly, the targeting window would still be the same as usual?

Thank you for cleaning the EEV copy ruling, this will help me a lot as a new judge for my community.

Love the dividers!!!

One of my best mates is a labyrinth player and it’s good that he can’t abuse this card for EEV

Just want to point something out in regard to mandatory effects that target. It does not cause a card to necessarily resolve without effect if there’s no target. An example of would be the mandatory of Majestic Star Dragon to return to Extra Deck even if there’s no Stardust Dragon in the GY.

Thank you for this video I appreciate it

(responding to 5:14, mostly) It seems Transaction Rollback is supposed to be some kind of shadow clone of the trap it targets, so it circumvents the expense (the cost), as it creates another instance of that effect for basically free, but still has to respect activation requirements. It might look silly to explain this with the flavour of cards (how cards were reasoned to work in the earlier parts of the YGO manga), but for something like Harpie's Feather Storm you could imagine that the trap effect is a strong wind that the Wind Winged-Beast you control applies to the field.

cant i use this card with Needlebug Nest in Tearlaments? seems broken

Basically transation rollback let you activate a card from the gy. You behave like if the card was activated (trigger conditions, targets, effect) but you ignore any costs

Could you transaction rollback a witch’s strike? Do you have to do it in chain, can it be activated as chain 1 after a negate has happened on the board?

With "Break the Destiny" could you use transaction rollback to copy the banishing effect that adds a spell/trap? Or what about the eldlich traps banish effects?

this card really, shouldn't exist, I feel it will be like halqifibrax banning inocent cards all over again

How would this card's rulings interact with Trap Trick and Trap Track? In regards to how many traps may be used afterwards, or if it is even legal.

What about transaction vs Black goat? Is it like imperm where you targert (call name) on activation or is it an illegal target?

For that first example, you say that you select targets at the same time as you target the card to copy in the GY with Transaction Rollback. If that's the case and you used, say, Raigeki Break as in the video, to target a card that has an effect that can activate when targeted, such as Maiden with Eyes of Blue or Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, would those cards be able to be activated in response? As an extension to that question, what about Jizukiru the Star Destroying Kaiju? That effect responds to an effect that targets 1 card and no other cards. Can you use that in response to a Transaction Rollback targeting Raigeki Break then "targeting" Jizukiru?

We need a called by for spells and traps now due to this card

thanks tombox. a new knowledge for me as a judge

i got a question about Transaction Rollback, if i activate Transaction Rollback second effect: "You can banish this card from your GY and pay half your LP, then target 1 Normal Trap in your GY, except "Transaction Rollback"; this effect becomes that card's activation effect." while i have Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle on the field, does Transaction Rollback second effect treat as activation of Normal Trap Cards? if so, does it mean that my opponent cannot cannot activate monster effects in response to Transaction Rollback second effect?

Here's a tricky ruling I was forced to make the other day. Can "Destiny Hero Diamond Dude" activate the effect of "Numeron Creation" sent to the GY by its effect. I ruled that it can't, because the Spell cannot apply "attach this Spell from the field" (mandatory) to the Xyz monster it summons. Another judge brought up the fact that "Phantom of Chaos" copying the effects of Number 38 Hope Harbinger, can activate its Spell negate effect, even though it cannot attach the Spell to itself (mandatory). I countered with the fact that Transaction Rollback's 2nd effect cannot copy the effect of Xyz Reborn which special summons and attaches itself because Transaction Rollback cannot be attached from banishment.

Does anyone know of a card similar to this that works for spell cards? Except serial spell?

Hi does anyone know this if dd crow is chained to transaction rollbacks target trap does it still copy the eff if the target is banished ?

So what is the ruling on the first card you didn’t answer for the equip thing

I did not understand why we need to meet the activation requitements of the targeted card. Of course it would be broken otherwise, but Traptrix Rafflesia specifies "a card that meets its activation conditions" while this one does not. So, why isn't there a difference?

MST.tv can you do a explaination on how transaction rollback works with rise to full heights does the trap target in the gy need to stay there for the effect to resolve

So let me get this right on the Do's and Don't of Transaction Rollback Doesn't: • Pay a Cost (if there is one) • Copy an effect that says "This Cards Activation" in its text while it's in your Grave (changes with TCG vs OCG Rules). Example - Eradication Epidemic Virus (in TCG) • Work on Traps that Equip (including material I'm guessing) or changes the Trap itself into a Non-Normal Trap Does: • Bypasses the Hard Once Per Turn and Once Per Duel limit • Copy a card's effect that says "This Cards Activation" in text *IF* the card is *currently* being activated in Grave or is sent to the Grave before Resolution by your opponent and Rollback is already set on your side of the field and can be activated at that time • Still Need to meet the Requirements/Conditions of the effect like having a certain Type, Element or Name that's on/in the Deck/Hand/Field/Grave/Banish • You can Activate Transaction Rollback on an already active/activated Trap (assuming this works like Chain Blocking also). Example - you can get 2 Dimensional Barrier Effects for the Price of 1 if it and Rollback resolves Judges Personal Rulings may very on Person and Events but they should be consistent with TCG and OCG rules across the board.

So, if a declare end of battle phase, i have transaction and evenly in gy, with no card on field, i can declare transaction target Evenly and banish face down all of their field?

Would love a clarification on the PSCT or your interpretation on the card "Non Aggression Area". There is some interesting wording that could be interpreted subjectively

Well labyrinth barrage says the cards resolution where as eradicator says cards activation. It's weird because I would assume just like you are only activating an effect and not a card, the same would apply to resolving effect as card. I thought the eev was illegal because looking at punctuation it looked like declaring was part of the cost which is bizarre imo.

So if got this right, Transaction Rollback doesn't have to pay cost (due to copying effects), but it DOES have to match the activation conditions, such as targeting and the field state. Does that about sum it up?

Finally a clear explanation

If i already used the 2nd effect of lovely but then activate rollback in a new chain (same turn) to copy big welcome, can lovely use its 2nd effect again? Or simple: Can i use the 2nd effect of her twice per turn with rollback?

Thanks for ruling video, helps a lot

If you have to meet activation conditions, how does the Mayakashi card/EEV work? You couldn’t activate either if you didn’t have a tribute.

What happens when you use transaction on field to copy an opponents imperm? I know you need to target but do you copy the negate of the coloum cause transaction was set or only the negate.

i remember reading that copying eev wouldnt destroy any cards, it would just let you see the opponents cards because you didnt tribute and call a card type

this game is ridiculous

I think what is the most relevant question: Does Transaction Rollback get the lingering effect of EEV? I would think not since it wasn’t the actual card itself. Similar to Verte!

DD crow is about to be a GOD CARD next format lol. Remove the targeted trap and it resolves without effect.

How would Rollback interact with an Evenly Matched in grave?

I need to ask something about transaction Rollback Wen you copy for example welcome labrynth to special a Monster from Deck, and you have the field spell on Board from labrynth, can you Pop a card with that too?

How would Rollback work with Artifacts??

What if you transaction rollback, Target raigeki break, and then target FOR raigeki break’s copied effect and then the targeted Raigeki Break gets DD Crow’d??

Any trap that has a cost use transaction rollback and you get the effect with no cost

How about Non Agression Area? Is it possible to use it with Transaction Rollback without having to discard a card? Also, would you only be able to do this during your standby phase, as that is a criterion for Non Aggression Area?

So cards in the GY that have effect like rollback don’t activate?

So it copies the virus effect or not? 😅 Or does it all depend on the judge?

Can Ash and Belle negate transaction rolback if i copy Big welcome lab?

My head hurts…

I feel like you shouldnt be able to, but if you pay half to act. Trans roll, can you pay half again for dinomorphia domain/frenzy?

so OCG Transaction Rollback is literally the better version?

If you try to copy a Trap that equips itself with TR's second effect, isn't this technically impossible since TR isn't considered the same card the effect of which you activated, after it has been banished for cost? The card that the effect would require to be equipped to a monster has changed location here.

My locals let us use it but said until they know for sure we can’t use it to copy any of the virus cards

imagine having a consistent rules book, couldn't be yugioh. i wonder if now that a good card can copy trap cards we will get some "rules additions" to make it consistent between ocg and tcg as otherwise that would be super messy for worlds

So how does Rollback work with Witches Strike? So if my opponent Barrone negates any of my cards and I have Rollback and Witches in my GY do I activate Rollback target Witches and then blow up my opponent's hand and field?

Okay, so let me get this straight: It doesnt copy maintenance costs, but it does copy activation conditions since they're what allow the activated effect to fire off? Even though the card just says "this effect becomes that card's activation effect." Like, the way thats written, it sounds like you just get to skip everything. This card needs an errata just for clarification, or it needs to be banned because its admittedly unhealthy.

Transaction Rollback should be able to copy the effect of EEV, but it should not last for 3 turns if it is copying it from the graveyard. That is the only thing the "this card's activation" applies to. The duration of how long EEV or similar cards last.

apparently ash blossom cannot respond to transaction rollback targeting big welcome labrynth.

I got one for you. Transaction roll back target jokers wild in GY. WHAT HAPPENS?

Honestly halq was insanelly broken duel to the change of the master rule. I think beatrice will be banned because of that trap Since this opens a new spam of scythe lock

I understand that Transaction Rollback does not ignore conditions, only costs...but WHY does it do that? If Destiny HERO Diamond Dude can copy Ojama Delta Hurricane, then why can't Transaction Rollback copy Huge Revolution? It only says to activate the effect. It's not like Bait Doll or Junk Collector who either state "if the activation timing is correct" or "Requirements must be correct but costs are not paid".

I don't want to deal with this headache. Can Konami please stop printing copy effects? Exhibit A here feels like a dictionary.

This card is gonna be a ruling nightmare at locals

There is a card that targets and destroys on resolution, and thats Magicial Dimension. It was a pretty decent tech card back in the day.

Diamond dude bypasses cost and restrictions/conditions,doesn’t transaction roll back not do the same thing?

Does it work with "Elemental Burst"?

They should change the mayakashi card text to “target 1 mayakashi synchro/link, tribute it;” this way decks cannot abuse it, but mayakashi decks can still play it as before

So treacherous trap hole right?

It's been rough

I love this card for letting me play through an ash in labrynth, but jesus christ the amount of degenerate shit it can do. It can do some pretty funny stuff as well, like transaction rollback target evenly matched with an empty board at the end of the battlephase

That's so messed up. TRB copies basically everything the trap says, except the literal cost. This feels so wrong. You still have to meet all requirements and conditions, which are basically "costs" themselves, and even targeting is basically a "cost", but the actual cost is skipped, like what?

Beatrice if just an ftk now, I guess.

Imagine getting D.barriered twice in one turn smh

How is transaction rollback different than destiny hero diamond dude? Diamond dude didn't care if you had monsters on the field; you could still use a hero lives for free the next turn. Transaction rollback copying harpie's still needs you to have a winged beast on the field though?

So you said not everything before the semi-colon is cost. On your example Feather Storm and Ghost Meets Girl, How can you tell between Condition vs Cost??

According to yacine you are allowed to copy eev with rollback however you will only destroy the declared card spell/trap during that turn only and not for the next 3 turns

Alright if this is legal I want “red reboot” to 1!

Maybe this will get D barrier banned. Please Konami. I want to be able to play decks other than link decks.

Before I watch the video in my opinion if this card is allowed it should never be at 3. At most you could potentially push it to 2 but really shouldn't be more than 1

This card is the trap version of diamond dude

So basically when someone tries to copy Epv in the gy I’m just going to say you can’t do that and call the head judge

Coping effects are so confusing in yugioh.

It'll apply for the first turn but fizzles out. Rollback literally states "activation effect"

Thats kinda stupid asf that apparently you "cant" copy eradicator even doe you actually should

Move over snake eyes There's a new tier 0 floodgate

Isn’t declaring the monster type part of the cost? Not the activated effect? In which case it shouldn’t be able to copy D Barrier? Someone help 🤣

Childrens' card game btw

This is why I don’t spending a ton on it the card will be banned

Two D. Barriers on one turn is kinda garbage.

Just don't run traps

Fiend comedian?

Good i hate eradicator

Either Transaction Rollback needs to be banned or they need to ban a bunch of other cards that completely abuse it

Tearlaments use this card
