Card Rulings:Thousand Energy
OCG Rulings
- The effect is applied to all Level 2 Normal Monsters, except Tokens, that are face-up in your Monster Zone when the effect resolves.[1]
- Destroying all Level 2 Normal Monsters you control during the End Phase does not start a Chain Link.[1]
- You cannot activate "Thousand Energy" if you control no face-up Level 2 Normal Monsters in your Monster Zone other than Tokens.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] 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.

- If you have "A Legendary Ocean" reducing Level 3s to Level 2, and the effect of "Thousand Energy" is applied, and then "A Legendary Ocean" is destroyed, the Levels are returned to Level 3, the ATK/DEF bonus from "Thousand Energy" is lost, and those monsters are not destroyed during the End Phase.
- A monster affected by "Thousand Energy" is not destroyed if it is face-down during the End Phase.
- If a monster affected by "Thousand Energy" switches control to your opponent, it is not destroyed during the End Phase.
- If you Summon a monster after the resolution of "Thousand Energy", it does not gain the +1000 ATK, but it is still destroyed during the End Phase because that effect is applied to all Level 2 Normal Monsters at that time.
- If a monster affected by "Thousand Energy" has its Level changed so that it is not Level 2 during the End Phase, it is not destroyed.
- If you use "Cost Down" to make a Level 4 monster a Level 2 monster, Summon it, and use "Thousand Energy", during the End Phase you can choose which effect happens first, so you can restore it to Level 4 first by ending "Cost Down's" effect, and then it will not be destroyed by the effect of "Thousand Energy".
