Ultimecia Not Transforming
- Have Ultimecia, Time Sorceress and Y'shtola Rul in play. At first end step, target Ultimecia with Rhul's ability. When Ultimecia returns to the field, its ability will ask you if you want to pay 4UUBB and exile cards to transform it. Proceed with paying 4UUBB and exiling 8 cards from your graveyard. Would expect Ultimecia to transform at this point, however it does not. When second end phase triggers, I even selected Rhul with her own ability to see if Ultimecia would transform now, but it still didn't transform. I did not receive an additional turn from paying Ultimecia's ability cost.

- Ultimecia, Time Sorceress does not transform after paying 4UUBB and exiling 8 cards from my graveyard
- Would expect Ultimecia, Time Sorceress to transform right after paying it's ability cost and award me with an additional turn.

Ultimecia triggered in the first end step, and that trigger went on the stack. You blinked her with Yshtola, making the one on the field a new Ultimecia, one that the trigger that's still on the stack does not refer to. That one does not exist anymore, and therefore cannot transform. You can still pay the cost of ther trigger, which is what you did. You had to wait for the new end step to begin, to get a new trigger, that refers to the new Ultimecia, and will transdform it if you pay that trigger's cost (and do not blink her or otherwise remove her from the field before you do).
