Previously Official Rulings

The effect of "Level Limit - Area B" does not use the chain, it is a continuous effect.

All Level 4 or higher monsters face-up on the field after "Level Limit - Area B" resolves will be in Defense Position. You can change the Battle Position of a Level 4 or higher monster, but it will immediately be changed back to Defense Position because of "Level Limit - Area B's" effect.

If "Level Limit - Area B" is activated while "Final Attack Orders" is active, then the most recently resolved effect takes precedence and monsters Level 4 or higher will be in Defense Position.

If you Summon "Spell Canceller" while "Level Limit - Area B" is on the field, "Spell Canceller" negates its effect and is not changed to Defense Position.

Evil HERO Malicious Fiend: If "Level Limit - Area B"Evil Hero Malicious Fiend". If "Level Limit - Area B" is being negated and then during the Battle Phase its effect is reapplied, the opponent's Level 4 or higher monsters are shifted into Defense Position and are unable to attack.

Mobius the Frost Monarch: If "Level Limit - Area B" is active and "Mobius the Frost Monarch" is successfully Tribute Summoned, "Level Limit - Area B" is a Continuous Spell Card so its effect is applied and the battle position of "Mobius the Frost Monarch" is changed to Defense Position. Then you can activate the effect of "Mobius the Frost Monarch".

Morphtronic Cord: If "Morphtronic Cord" is equipped to a Level 4 or higher "Morphtronic" monster while "Level Limit - Area B" is active, when the equipped "Morphtronic" monster's Battle Position to changed to Attack Position, it is immediately shifted back into Defense Position. When this occurs, the Trigger Effect of "Morphtronic Cord" only activates once.

Pole Position: If "Level Limit - Area B" and "Pole Position" are on the field, the highest ATK monster is unaffected by "Level Limit - Area B". If it attacks, and during damage calculation "Mask of Weakness" is activated to reduce its ATK so that it is no longer the highest ATK monster on the field, the effect of "Level Limit - Area B" is applied. Also, the attack stops. Do not perform damage calculation.
