Once, during either player's turn, you can have the Attribute of this card become LIGHT or DARK. While this card's Attribute is LIGHT, and battling a DARK monster, or while this card's Attribute is DARK, and battling a LIGHT monster, the ATK of this card becomes 3000 until the end of the Damage Step. When battling with a monster of the same Attribute, this card cannot be destroyed, and it gains 1 counter at the end of the Damage Step (max. 3). Remove 2 counters from this card to destroy 1 card your opponent controls.

If you control a face-up "Ikaruga", this card's Attribute becomes the Attribute of that card. When battling a monster of the same Attribute, this card cannot be destroyed. During each End Phase, this card gains 1 counter for each monster your opponent controls that has the same Attribute as this card (max. 3). During either player's turn, you can remove 1 counter from this card to have the Attribute of 1 "Ikaruga" you control become LIGHT or DARK.

Based on the game of the same name.

Instead of "any time" it should say "During either players turn", I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, maybe you should make the changing attribute effect "Once per turn".
Either way, I like it's effect. You did a good job on this.

The effect seems slightly on the powerful side for a Level-5 monster (and by 'slightly' I mean 'a lot,' given how common both LIGHT and DARK monsters are. In my opinion the effect alone is worth an upgrade to Level-7. I also notice this is already a LIGHT monster, so half the time you don't even need to pay to change the attribute. The text would also probably be too small to read if you printed it out. It always bugs me when that happens, especially since the card maker doesn't allow the text to go to the bottom of the description section to maximize text size.

If I was your opponent and I saw that card I would bring out a WATER or EARTH monster to defeat it. There do seem to be easy ways to deal with it, assuming you know its effect. That translates into a weakness for the monster.

It's more of a Side Deck card, since it only covers 2 Attributes, you have to pay to change its Attribute, and it's very unlikely that you'd use it in a deck with DNA Transplant + Staunch Defender, just to use its effect for destroying a card. Sure, it's powerful against a deck of only LIGHT/DARK monsters, but then a lot of cards are meant to counter a specific type of deck. I wouldn't change it to a 2 Tributer unless it could gain counters in another way, or the destruction effect required the removal of only 1 counter.

Hmm. But even Celtic Guardian can take these cards, can't it?
I understand that Ginkei's purpose may be to support Ikaruga. What about making other cards that can change and match to other attributes, such as one for FIRE and WATER and another for EARTH and WIND so you can cover more possibilities? Otherwise, like I said, they're easy to counter and destroy.
