i know the basics of a skill drain deck but if you have any suggestions ill be glad to take them in

I dont know how much Skill Drain benefits from the new cards, typical monsters that work with Skill Drain that comes to mind for me is Fuselier, GAF, Lei Lei, GEAF, and Orc. I think I used Final Attack Orders as a side build. Don't forget that your hand is still free of Skill Drain's effect and I think your elemental searchers like tomato still work.

a Sand Moth might go down well too.

Any normal monsters with high attack power and maybe even a few Non-Spellcasting Areas ight help out a tad as well.

well i had a Skill Drain deck but it was a little evil with some water monsters like Mother Grizzly and Yomi Ship to clear the field(whats cool is Yomi Ship gets it affect while Skill Drain on the field), then hit them with a Goblin Attack Force or i could always Salvage the water monsters so it was fun but thats one way u could go with a Skill Drain deck

if you want to see a Skill Drain deck that works well, go here,
this is my deck, and its kicking some major tail right now...

however, the Nitro Unit is my own little touch..

of course on the norm, i would say, trade in those Nitro Unit for 2 Cold Wave ... they are invaluable in this deck along with Skill Drain... good luck

How the heck does Sand Moth help in a Skill Drain Deck? After it re-summon itself to the field, it's ATK goes back to 1000 and DEF goes back to 2000 once it's on the field....


THe new card among SOI that fits the Skill Drain theme is Chainsaw Insect. Cause that's a 2400ATK level 4 monster. (only Fusilier is better in ATK stat, besta all the goblin and leilei family)

First thing:: Sand Moth wont get his terrific switcheroo of the atk / def effect... Skill Drain is present

Normal monsters are cool and all, but with Skill Drain, they only lose their effect when they are on the field, so you have to take advantage of cards like Fusilier-Dragon the Dual mode Beast.. cards with summoning effects, but are absolute BEASTS attack wise with Skill Drain out.

Plus cards like Chainsaw Insect, a 4 star 2400 beatstick... if you look my deck over, its nothing but shear firepower, and if Skill Drain dies, i can still over power you..

Does anyone actually look at the rulings for Sand Moth. Click the link and see note 7

Even if "Skill Drain" is active when "Sand Moth" is Special Summoned by its own effect, its ATK and DEF will remained switched. (2000 ATK / 1000 DEF).

Either way, Sandmoth is too crappy in a Skill Drain deck to make the cut.

 

[EmeraldDragon]

actually quite a few Skill Drain deck makers are starting to use ths card.

Well... being a bit of a fiendy duelist, I use a necro-Skill Drain deck filled with GAF, EGAF, Dark Necrofears tomato control for Newdorias and a little bit of Dark Worlders... You could give that a try :haveaday_

Huh? I don't get that ruling? I mean, doesn' Skill Drain negate everything on the field. I mean, yeah Sand Moth switches it's ATK/DEF in the graveyard but once it's on the field, it's a field effect so it should neutralize it back to normal. (Kinda like Fusilier. Fusilier decreasing it's ATK/DEF and stuff is hand effect, but once it's hit the field, it's reset)

Because you switch the original ATK and DEF in the Graveyard and for all intents and purposes it as if you switched the printed stats.

Yeah, but it strikes me as somewhat contradictory to the Fusilier ruling...like the Dragon goes by what is printed on the card (yes I know its an effect), and Moth doesn't (yes I know the effect activates in the grave).
