[Striker] Invigorating Elf

[Nathanael D. Striker 27]

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 monster you control; gain Life Points equal to its ATK. During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card, then target 1 monster; gain Life Points equal to its ATK.

One of my ports from YCM. Yea, it's a simple Life Point gaining card (LP and GY still don't feel right btw); however, the second effect could prove very useful in surviving an opponent's onslaught. I can only see this used in Casual play, but I just couldn't get the idea out of my head and the image fits well. I thought about having it set to Summon instead of Normal Summon, but I decided against it. Anyway, CnC?

Looks decent enough to me. Level 2 Tuner is good for Needlefiber plays, and the LP gains can come in handy vs. OTKs or to play more safely LP-costing effects. IMO EARTH/Fairy would be more flavorful and unique, but LIGHT/Fairy does have its perks, like support from Benten.

This might sound a bit nitpicky and I tend to avoid concentrating on grammer but I think for this one it does need to be clear about the second effect. I'd say:

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster you control; gain Life Points equal to its ATK. During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 face-up monster (?you control?); gain Life Points equal to its ATK.

^Targeting face-down monsters would be kind of a nightmare, especially if the second effect has it be intentional that it can target 1 monsters. Which I'm not sure the effects are fully balanced against each other. I mean, none of them are gonna really break anything, but the effect that requires you to use your Normal Summon seems to be more limiting on the targets than the easier to trigger quick effect from the GY. 

Overall the concept is very good and I like how the card art even has the illusion of a secret rare. I like it, and I'm a sucker for LP gain effects tbh xD

The second effect doesn't have you control due to it being used in a situation where a direct attack would end it. As for the other fixes, my bad. As for the Normal Summon bit, just Summon was on my mind though I didn't want to push it.

See, you get the second effect saving asses. XD

I don't recommend making the card just "Summon" without it having a hard OPT clause to prevent the increased chance of loops. 
As for the GY effect's reasoning, that's fair enough xD
