Card Rulings:Demotion
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[1] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- A monster's Level cannot go below 1. You can equip 2 "Demotions" to a monster to reduce its Level by 4.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- A Rival Appears!: For the effect of “A Rival Appears!”, refer to the levels of the monster on the field and the monster in the hand at the time “A Rival Appears!” resolves (for purposes of “Cost Down”, “Level Conversion Lab”, “Mystical Space Typhoon” in a chain destroying “Demotion”, etc.)
- Allure Queen LV3: You can equip a monster to “Allure Queen LV3” that is having its Level reduced to 3 or lower by an effect, like “Demotion”.
- Copy Plant: If "Copy Plant" is equipped with "Demotion", when "Copy Plant" uses its effect to copy the Level of a Plant-Type monster, the copied value is reduced by 2 for "Demotion".
- The Lady in Wight: If your Zombie-Type monster's Level is reduced to 3 or less with "Demotion" while "The Lady in Wight" is face-up on your side of the field, its Level remains reduced.
- The League of Uniform Nomenclature: A Normal Monster on the field that has its level lowered to 2 or less by an effect (like "A Legendary Ocean" or "Demotion") is a proper target for "The League of Uniform Nomenclature". So you can target "Archfiend Soldier" equipped with "Demotion" and Special Summon 2 copies of "Archfiend Soldier" from your Deck.
- The League of Uniform Nomenclature: If you target a "Harpie Lady" on the field equipped with "Demotion", then you can Special Summon monsters that are treated as having the same name, like "Cyber Harpie Lady" or "Harpie Lady 3".
