OCG Rulings[]
- If there is no monster in the Graveyard that you can Summon, then you do not return the targetted monster to the Deck.[1]
- You can target "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" or "Silent Swordsman LV5" with "Level Down!?", but you won't return the monster to the deck and you won't Special Summon any monster.[2]
- You can target "Winged Kuriboh LV10" with "Level Down!?". You cannot Special Summon "Winged Kuriboh" (since it is not a "LV" monster), but you can Special Summon "Winged Kuriboh LV9".[3]
Previously Official Rulings[]
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[4] 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.

- You can use "Level Down!?" on a "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" that is copying a LV Monster. But since it is no longer copying the LV Monster after it has been returned to the Deck, no monster will be Special Summoned.
- You can use "Level Down!?" on "Armed Dragon LV10" to Special Summon "Armed Dragon LV7".
