Flipping Skill Drain face-up costs 1000 life points. It then applies a continuous effect, there are no further costs, and it does not have an activated effect from then on.
No. Skill Drain only works for monsters already present on the field. Any effect that activates in the hand or graveyard are not negated by the effect of Skill Drain.
Skill Drain will do the following:If a monster activates an effect, and the monster is face-up on the field when that effect resolves, then that effect will be negated.If, when the effect resolves, the monster is not face-up on the field, then the effect will resolve as normal. This happens to monsters who activate and resolve in different zones, monsters tributed for the activation of their own effect, and monsters destroyed, or flipped face-down before their effects can resolve.A monster's continuous effect will be negated until Skill Drain is removed from the field.
Yes. Skill Drain only negates resolutions. It does not prevent activations, nor is there any rule against activating an effect that the current game state will negate.
Under normal conditions, Chainsaw Insect, I believe, @ 2400. However, in a Skill Drain deck (which you may want to consider with Chainsaw Insect anyway), Beast King Barbaros is strongest @ 3000.
i think you lose a skill point that's what i think :-\
No. Like other negation cards such as Skill Drain, Wicked Rebirth does not stop Stardust Dragon activating its effect. If Stardust activates, then it goes to the graveyard. That means it is no longer being targeted by Wicked Rebirth, so the effect will be able to resolve correctly.

cuz he's better
The best skill in Mass Effect really depends on your opinion. The most popular opinion is immunity because it is resistable.
'halo effect' refers to the selection and recruitment process
WIth chinese skill :)
If Skill Drain is active, then Debris Dragon's triggered effect will be negated when it tries to resolve. Debris Dragon's Synchro Material resolution is not an 'effect' as such. Skill Drain does not do anything to it.

Skill Drain will negate its continuous effect. It can be used as Synchro Material if Skill Drain is active. Most Monster Effect negation cards will work when it activates its Ignition Effect. Divine Wrath can stop it, as can Solemn Warning, and Royal Oppression.
Yes and no. If Skill Drain is already active, then if Jinzo is summoned, his continuous effect is never applied. He will be negated. But if Jinzo is already face-up on the field, you can't even activate Skill Drain.Because Jinzo's effect is continuous, you can't wait until a player says they wish to summon Jinzo, and then try to activate Skill Drain. Jinzo will be summoned and be negating traps before your next opportunity to activate Skill Drain.
No, it can't negate either of its effects. Skill Drain only negates a monster's resolution if the monster card is face-up on the field when it tries to resolve. With Stardust Dragon, its negation effect activates on the field but sends itself to the graveyard as a cost. Skill Drain can't touch it there. It's resummoning effect activates in the graveyard, so again, Skill Drain can't stop it.
Path dependency and contingent thinking
