If they are Summoned as Normal Monsters, they are unaffected. If they are Summoned as Effect Monsters, they will be moved face-up into the S/T zone and cease to be monsters while Skill Drain is active. Even if Skill Drain is removed from the field, they will not return to the monster zone, they will remain uselessly in the S/T zone.

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.


How does the Skill Drain work in Yu-Gi-Oh?

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.


Can you activate a monster's effect perhaps to make use of its cost even though its effect will be negated by Skill Drain in Yu-Gi-Oh?

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.


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.
