ZERO Linkuriboh

LIGHT

Link: D

Cyberse/Link/Effect

1 Level 4 or lower Effect Monster

Must be Link Summoned. When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can Tribute this card; negate that monsters attack, then, increase your LP equal to that monsters ATK. When you would be dealt damage (Quick Effect): you can banish this card from your GY; increase your LP equal to the damage you would of taken instead. You can only activate each effect of "ZERO Linkuriboh" once per turn. You can only Link Summon "ZERO Linkuriboh" once per turn.

ATK/0 LINK-1

 

So ZERO Linkuriboh is a Link 1 Linkuriboh monster that can be summoned off any Level 4 or lower effect monster. In addition to this it has 2 hard OPT effects where first it can tribute itself to act as a draining shield and then banish itself to protect you from being dealt damage and gaining that damage as LP.

 

In any deck this card can act as a ideal Link 1 for both being defensive with its LP gain and giving you a zone to summon a monster from your Extra Deck to. In addition its LP gain could be very effective in Aromage decks.

Main issue is that it's too generic. Monsters go off from being sent to the GY near-most of the time. You've given every single deck a free Link Arrow from 1 card. If that card is, say, Dandylion (OCG), that's a problem. And the second effect just states ANY damage. So a free hit all from using it as a Link Ladder. It's too generic IMO. Maybe limit it exclusively to Cyberse, or a Normal Summoned/Set monster. Or keep the restrictions, but it points up, so you get it for the effect over an open zone.

 

With your text as it is, second effect shouldn be worded similar to GY protection effects like Return of the Dragon Lords and Cybserse Synchron, so they don't activate, and act like a substitution than an effect.

 

"Must be Link Summoned. When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can Tribute this card; Negate that attack, then, increase your LP by that monsters ATK. If you would take damage, you can banish this card from your GY, and increase your LP by the same amount instead. You can only activate each effect of "ZERO Linkuriboh" once per turn."

 

Now, with this last effect, I play Power Bond and +2800 LP. It at least promotes some less seen cards :p

Agreed with the above. Too generic, almost as good as original Linkuriboh, but much more accessible. The big difference is that  Linkuriboh can revive itself, reusing its effect and potentially making another Level1 float in the process. Still, IMO a card like this shouldn't exist, at least not yet. Maybe try again when the powercreep takes 2 or 3 more steps.
