Pros

  • Can be discarded to negate opponent’s card effects that activates from the Graveyard.

Cons

  • Weak DEF stats.
  • Can be situational as not every deck relies on effects that activate from the Graveyard.

Tips

  • This card is most suitable to be used in a Fiend-type themed deck, such as Archfiends, because you can still discard this card as a cost for Call of the Archfiend, in order to summon higher level Archfiend monsters to the Field.

Counters

These are some of the cards that are used in current meta decks that can be countered using Skull Meister’s effect.

  • Paleozoic Canadia (and the rest of the “Paleozoic” monsters) have effects that Special Summons themselves from the Graveyard, so Skull Meister will negate it.
  • Snoww, Unlight of Dark World and Broww, Unlight of Dark World have effects that activate from the Graveyard, after they were sent there.
  • Destiny HERO - Celestial can banish itself and another Destiny HERO monster to draw 2 more cards.
  • Sylvan Marshaleaf has effects that destroys your opponent’s monster while Sylvan Komushroom has effects that destroys your opponent’s Spell/Trap, which activates from the Graveyard.
  • Amazoness Baby Tiger special summons himself from the graveyard with his own effect when an Amazoness monster is summoned to your opponent's field.
  • Bacon Saver is used in Zombie decks as a way to stop attacks.
  • Machine Angel Ritual and Hymn of Light are Ritual Spell cards that can be banished from the Graveyard to protect opponent’s Ritual Monsters.
  • Bujingi Sinyou and Bujingi Quilin are some of the Bujin monsters that can be banished from the graveyard to trigger their effects.

All these effects are negated by discarding Skull Meister.

Seems kind of useless. It doesn't actually banish the activated card from the graveyard so your opponent can just activate most effects again after being negated.

despacito!
I won't let you search!

I've just realized there's no filter for this specific kind of effect. I'm trying to identify other cards I have with it. So far I've text filtered "graveyard negate" and "negate graveyard".

Any other suggestions, please?

You probably won't find similar cards anyway. Duel Links doesn't have that many hand traps and I think this is currently the only card that can negate effects in the GY.

Maybe you want to search for cards that will banish cards from the GY instead or shuffle them back to their deck. It's not the same but it will stop your opponent to activate those effects in the GY

Thanks for the answer. I, too, think there are very few similar cards. Which come very handy in facing decks like Darklords and others with a lot of GY play. Too bad they usually play a lot with banished cards, too.

I got lucky enough to find 2 more: Debunk and Hero's Rule 2. Guess I can make do with them for the time being...

I think this card should be a level up reward.

....well of course, because this card does not respond to that in the first place.....

This card responds to a Graveyard effect, not to a monster on the field destroying another card.....

‘Graveyard’. Read again

...The guy clearly wasn't saying it should be able to negate Reactor Dragon. They're saying it should be able to negate the Geartown Reactor Dragon destroyed. (Which is still wrong for multiple reasons, given Reactor Dragon prevents it and Skull Meister can't be used in the Damage Step anyway, but still.)

Bruh, what does geartown do.

I wonder why there are people who cannot tell the difference between a 'Nerf' and a 'limitation'. A nerf is when the card effect is actually modified, and a limitation is a restriction of the number of copies that can be used in a deck.

Boi I guess this is why this comment section has a very bad reputation... and nothing can be taken seriously in gameA. Only dumb people comment
F2p
Glad i had 3 copies didn't played Dino event they became meta but played dd tower and got counters
