Cursor Guider
EARTH
✪ (Level 1)
[Cyberse/Effect]
ATK/250 DEF/100

You can target 1 Link monster in the Extra Monster Zone or in your Main Monster Zone; Special Summon this card from your hand or GY to 1 of your Main Monster Zones that the Link Monster doesn't already point to but could, and if you do, that Link monster now also points to the Main Monster Zone this card is in. You can only use this effect of "Cursor Guider" once per Duel.

 

Concept:

Spoiler

It is a computer mouse; hence, it guides the cursor. It pays homage to the Link monster concept of pointing to things. If I were to do the art, it would combine the attributes of a computer mouse and the animal mouse (plastic body of computer mouse and ears, nose, whiskers, etc. of animal mouse) , and I would give it a cord tail that would have an cursor on the end.

Design Notes:

Spoiler

To possibly help establish co-links, widen more pointed Zones, or break a U-Link .

I don't understand that part of the effect. Due to the following effect, I assume it changes 1 of the markers/arrows of that Link monster into the direction towards that Main Monster Zone, but you may need to write it in a more PSCT-friendly way. For instance, write the arrow/marker shift effect first, then Special Summon the monster.
Text issue aside, this card looks good to me. Free Summons from the GY are welcomed, one just has to think of Glow-Up Bulb, and the condition to make it live is a easy to set-up nowadays. This card not being a Tuner puts it on a weaker position than the aforementioned Bulb, as well as other monsters that generate monsters by interacting with the GY such as O-Lion and Steam, but that should be fine. Not every Level 3 or lower monster has to be a Tuner xD
Still, it would give it an edge over a fellow self-revival EARTH, low-Level Cyberse monster, Dotscaper.

Actually it is suppose to give the targeted Link monster a new marker added on to what it already has. The idea is that it Summons itself to a Zone an empty marker "points" to, and make it live when it is Summoned their. But, I am not sure how to write in a PSCT friendly way considering we haven't gotten anything that tinkers with Markers yet... It also doesn't help that Link Markers aren't referred to directly on any card text. So I was left improvise... Which is why it looks really ass-backwards. XD

So it's supposed to add a new arrow/marker. IDK if that's mechanically possible without affecting its Rating, since so far the number of arrows is equal to the Rating. IMO it would be more accurate to shift/redirect an arrow/marker. I wouldn't worry too much about experimenting with terminology. IMO card makers don't have to be limited by the lack of precedence to come up with new effects.
