Explained

What it does

A Continuous Trap. While it's face-up, all Spell effects on the field are negated. Each Standby Phase you must pay 700 LP, or it's destroyed.

Play it when

It can't be used in Advanced Format; it's Forbidden in the TCG.

Common mistakes
  • Thinking you can choose not to pay. If you have 700 LP or more, you must.

How it works

Status: Forbidden in the TCG (Sept 21, 2026 list), so it can’t be used in Advanced Format.

Imperial Order is a Continuous Trap. Negate all Spell effects on the field. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, you must pay 700 LP, or this card is destroyed.

Rulings in plain English

Activation: Any time except the Damage Step.

Negation: Not an activated effect; it applies while the card is face-up.

Upkeep: A maintenance cost, so no Chain. You pay in both your and your opponent’s Standby Phase. With 700 or more LP you must pay; with less, you can’t, and it’s destroyed.
