Skill Drain

[Zazubat]

I got another reason to hate this card. So, I was up againts a Malefic/Gravekeeper/Skill Drain/Rai-Oh whatever deck. I love you Konami for making an Archetype which would be considered balanced do to their effects, but then you got cards like fucker. I just don't want to see this card around anymore. I really don't. I also hate Rai-Oh, but that's another topic.

Continuous Trap Card

Activate by paying 1000 Life Points. The effects of all face-up monsters on the field are negated while those monsters are face-up on the field (but their effects can still be activated).

Anti meta will always exist   ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄

 

Yet it's kind of innefective this format, E-Dragons, Prophecy and Mermails can easily play around it.

The deck I was using couldn't sadly. And that makes it annoying as heck. But it is true, anti meta will exist, but it shouldn't exist in cards like this, at least in my opinion.

It's a draw MST or lose card against a TON of decks.

True. The only thing I can say that is good about this card is that if it's gone it's gone. It should just never be there in the first place.

Soooooo... Are we making a case that this should be banned? O-O

I would very much want it to, it just annoys me that it exists.

I really want this card to go die in a fire.  Whoever keeps this card alive is a bundle of sticks that is supposedly historically used for burning homosexual males and should be burned on those sticks.

I see we, uhm, share the same views, even if your wording is, well, that.

When common words cannot express the pure, unadultered anger one feels, one has to resort to using Sophisticated as Hell terminology.

It's a shame this is awful. I loved using it in TGs. :(

This card is like masturbation. Feels good at first, but after you've used it, you feel really dirty. 

 

Limited would be where I would put it, personally.

I love using it, but I hate using it. And in the Decks that I do use it in, it exists only as more of a Side than Main, except in HERO Beat (which may I remind you takes no skill to play whatsoever).

*insert obligatory comments about how if your Deck is screwed over by this card, it's your own fault for constructing an unbalanced Deck, or whatever the hell will make everyone mad when they read it*

 

Card is just okay to me. It's too detrimental in the majority of Decks to run, so it usually just sees play in anti-meta or Decks that outright don't care, like Dark Worlds. I'd say the most annoying part about this card is how confusing it is compared to other negation effects, like Effect Veiler. Most negation effects negate things that ACTIVATE on the Field, even if the monster leaves the Field as a cost. Skill Drain is sort of the exception to the rule, and there's often confusion between cards that work like Skill Drain, and cards that work like Effect Veiler/etc.

Don't. Even. Get. Me. Started. About those chking rulings.  All I have in my head is that continuous effects negate only on field and spur of the moment effects negate even off of field.

This used to be great fun. I remember using it in awful Barbaros Ur decks.


I still kinda hate it though.

I love using it with Orichalcos, Macro Cosmos and the virus cards. Too bad it's not that good right now.
