ZERO Linkuriboh

ZERO Linkuriboh
LIGHT
Link: D
Cyberse/Link/Effect
1 Level 4 or lower Normal Summoned monster
Must be Link Summoned. Cannot be used as Material for a Link Summon. While theirs a monster in a zone this card points to, this card cannot be targeted for attacks. When your opponents monster attack: you can tribute this card; negate that monsters attack, then, increase your LP equal to that monsters ATK. (Quick Effect) When you would be dealt damage by battle or by a card 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.
ATK/0 LINK-1

So ZERO Linkuriboh is a Link 1 with some what generic summoning requirement of a Normal Summoned Level 4 or lower monster where it must be Link Summoned and cannot be used as Link material itself. The card itself acts as a Draining Sheild on legs that provides a Link Marker downwards to give you a Main Zone to summon a monster from your Extra Deck to, then, if your opponent trys to push for game by dealing a massive amount of damage this card can also banish itself from the grave to make it so that damage instead further increases your LPs.

Ideally this card could be seen as handy defensive staple Extra Deck card when used effectively as its LP gain is aimed towards protecting the player and their monsters.

Seems like a pretty alright life saver though it's a bit tame.
Just thinking that your opponent could drop a monster with any amount of ATK to attack this card and force you Tribute it on something like 300 ATK for minimal LP gain.
But the GY effect makes up for it into a better GY negate than stuff like Necro Gardna. It'd probably also be bait for Called by the Grave but that's fine since it means other stuff of yours won't be having it xD

I think it could afford to at least have the ATK of a Kuriboh monster, and be possible to ladder with to make you less dependent on your opponent's whim.
Or maybe have a clause where your opponent must attack with the highest ATK they have first so you are sure to always get something out of it, and/or force the opponent to play conservative on Main Phase 1 and do what they want until after the Battle Phase is over when they don't feel pressured to this.

Regarding its ATK being 0 more so designed with its name being "ZERO" Linkuriboh. With Link 1's it tends to be a tad iffy on how you make them as they could be quite powerful if their requirements are very generic hence why I stopped it from being able to ladder plus you got to consider that this has a downward marker and when it does tribute itself it opens up the Extra monster zone for you.

Somehow I didn't make the connection with the name originally xD That's fine then.
What about the idea of forcing the opponent to attack with strongest monster first? If I was up against this card I'd probably reserve something like a boosted up Sheep Token to hit this first and ensure my opponent only gains like 400 LP. That might be a problem.

Made the edit so it cannot be targeted for an attack if theirs a monster in a zone it points to so your opponent has to deal to the monster ZERO Linkuriboh is pointing to first.
