Best Answer
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.

Does Skill Drain Work On Jinzo?

It depends on which is played first if u played skill drain before jinzo then jinzo cant negate traps but you cant activate skill drain after jinzo is summoned.


Does skill drain stop the effect of cyber dragon?

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.


Is a monster that is immune to spells and traps affected by Skill Drain?

Depends which was on the field first. If Skill Drain was already active, the monster's protective continuous effects will never become active.If the monster was on the field first and Skill Drain activated after, then since the monster is unaffected by traps, Skill Drain will not affect it.


When 'Skill Drain' is on the field does it also negate monster effects that say it is affected by nothing?

If a monster says it can't be targeted, then it will have its effects negated because Skill Drain does not target. If a monster says it is not affected by traps, then if it was already on the field before Skill Drain was activated, then it will be unaffected, its other effects will still work. If Skill Drain was already active before the monster is summoned, then the monster's continuous effect that grants it immunity, will itself be negated, as will any other of that monster's effects.


What is the strongest yugioh monster that you don t have to sacrifice for?

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.


Can skill drain stop gladiator beasts?

Skill Drain negates the effects of all monsters on the field. Since Gladiator Beasts' effects activate on the field, at the end of the battle phase, Skill Drain negates it. But for card effects that activate in the hand, like Honest or Montage Dragon, Skill Drain negates it. If this information is to create a Skill Drain Deck (which is really, really nasty because most really good decks rely on monster effects), I would also warn you about Fairy Meteor Crush and other cards that give that effect: Since Piercing Damage is an effect that must be attached to a monster, Skill Drain negates it. Also, for a Skill Drain Deck needs to have a bunch of trap-searching Spell/Trap/Monster effects and Spell/Trap/Monster effects that protect you until you until you get Skill Drain.


What effects does Debris Dragon retain if Skill Drain is active in Yu-Gi-Oh?

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.


How can you negate the effect Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor?

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.


When Skill Drain is destroyed with a normal summoned beast king barbaros on the field Does BKB still have 3000 attack?

Yes, Beast King Barbaros' stat reduction is applied only once, on successful summon, if something negated that, such as Skill Drain, it is not reapplied when Skill Drain's effect is ended.


Can Skill Drain nullify Jinzo's effect in Yu-Gi-Oh?

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.


Douse skill drain negate the effect of stardust dragon?

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.


Can Skill Drain prevent Malefic monsters from destroying themselves in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes, Skill Drain will negate their continuous effect which destroys them if there is no active Field Spell Card.
