There are far better uses for Skill Drain, it doesn't work with Unstable Evolution, Horn, well see Skill Drain, it isn't searchable worth crap and it's overall mind-numbingly bad.
Discuss.

Added weight for emphasis, because almost everyone missed this fact.
Back in the days of Metal Raiders, Konami was experimenting with various ways to have a level 4 with 2000 ATK, and had to come up with all sorts of ways to balance it, considering the strongest level 4 was Mechanicalchaser(Which was worth a crap-load, btw...), which had 1850.
So of course they would end up with a few dead concepts now-and-then.

Weren't this and Nuvia the Wicked introduced in the same pack? Or close ones?

They were basically Konami's way of saying "You wanted your Level 4 2000 beaters, now suck it! t1t2"

...And look where we are now.

Didn't Flash Assailant also come out during that time as well? Also, when did the Gemini Elves appear?

yea, Flash Assailant came out in the same pack as this (in both TCG and OCG), and if i recall Gemini Elf came out [i]before those 2 in OCG[/i] though it came out after Assailant and Boar in TCG

It was the first 4 start with 2000 attack and was released in the VERY early days of the game.

Hey there! :3


And yeah, funny how nowadays, you can get monsters without a cost (or effect) with 2000 ATK..... Monsters which only have 700 less DEF (That Dark Elf), if that at all matters O.o
And Alex being namesake card, it has to be awesome
