Wormhole Caterpillar

LIGHT [ Insect / Link / Effect ]  ATK/ 300  LINK-1

Arrow: Up.

1 Token

Once while face-up on the field: You can target 1 monster you control; switch it with a monster this card points to, and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to the difference of the 2 monsters' ATK. You cannot use this card as a material for a Link Summon the turn it is Summoned.

It is rather straight-forward: Grinder Golem, Lava Golem, Kaijus.

That's how you ensure this card will have something to point to. Swap with a Token or with Ameba to maximize damage.

This card becomes a beater afterwards, and the idea is to not just do it and ladder on into more board.

Ah, the wording confused me, but I see now you mean that it switches control. I kinda like it, though. It's a pretty strong option to have and further expresses the importance of zone placement with your monsters. It's strong, but it's not TOO strong. I think, if anything, the material-restriction part could be changed, either removed completely or lightened up to work only with its effect. As it is, it's not like this card would be opening new doors (Spider already exists), so I think just having it work with its effect would be good enough.

 

Beyond that, the wording could be changed to something like

 

"Switch positions and control with your target monster and 1 monster this card points to" or something to that degree. I can't say I'm terribly aware of any decently new control-swap cards that exist (not taking control; switching control), but I think this would do the job. Someone else that knows better is free to correct me, though.

Hmm yeah, I should re-word it a bit. Gonna think that up to see how I can clarify it a bit better.

As for the materials, I thought about making it only need any 1 monster, but wasn't sure if that might be too generic.
