The last time that Skill Drain was being talked about was in September 2024 when it once again received a restriction in Yu-Gi-Oh TCG tournament play outside Japan and Asia-Pacific after two and a half years unrestricted. This reduction to just one copy per deck matched the restriction which had already been present in Japan and Asia-Pacific since April 2023. Now, the card is once again in the spotlight after being one of the Quarter Century Limited Pack cards with a Quarter Century Secret Rare version.

About Skill Drain (Quarter Century Limited Pack QCLP-JP025)

As one of the 12 cards in Quarter Century Limited Pack with a Quarter Century Secret Rare version, Skill Drain will be in much demand by collectors. High-rarity versions of Skill Drain aren’t new to the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG by any means—sets and products from past years have included Skill Drain cards of rarities such as Ultimate Rare, Duel Terminal Ultra Parallel Rare, and Starfoil Rare—making this one just the latest addition to the list.

The fact that this card has received a global tournament play restriction speaks to its immense gameplay viability. Despite the restriction, the card remains an important part of many decks; there’s even a specific deck archetype built around this card. While the Skill Drain deck might be rather off-meta and a niche pick, it isn’t completely unviable. In general, serious players will be interested in this card just as much as collectors will.
