Shining Saver Dragon ZERO Asteria

LIGHT

Link: L, DL, DR, R

Dragon/Link/Effect

2+ Effect Monsters with the same type including 1 Fusion Monster

When this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until after damage calculation. This card gains ATK equal to the difference in both players LP. When you would be dealt damage thats equal or greater than your LP while this card is in your GY, you can banish this card from your GY; increase your LP equal to the damage you would of taken instead. During the End Phase of the turn this card was banished by this effect, Special Summon this banished card.

ATK/3000 LINK-4

 

So ZERO Asteria is a powerful Link 4 that at the minimum requires 2 monsters where both have to be the same type and one of them a Fusion monster. ZERO Asteria effects include not have effects react when it attacks, gaining additional ATK when your LP are different to your opponents and banishing itself to protect your LP from being reduced to 0 while also coming back at the End Phase of that turn.

 

In Fusion themed decks that have Links such as HERO's and potentially Lunalights (with Link VRAINS Pack 2) which all share the same types of Warrior and Beast-Warrior can all effectively make this card where in addition to this ZERO Asteria's revival ability also helps with setting up 2 Zones anywhere on the field for additional Extra Deck plays for your Fusions.

Text suggestion:

If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step. This card gains ATK equal to the difference between both player's LP. If you would take damage that is equal or higher than your LP, even During the Damage step, while this card is in your GY (Quick Effect): You can banish this card from your GY; gain LP equal to the damage you would have taken instead. During the End Phase of the turn this card was banished by this effect: Special Summon this card.

 

So it's pretty much an Utopia the Lightning for Link4s, and not generic at that.

Note that you can use the lifesaver effect even when you directly mill it form the ED, although the self-Summon effect won't apply. May be handy for decks that rely on ED milling, but it's not an issue IMO.

You can also make use of Instant Fusion as a shortcut to Summon this card, as long as you Summon a Fusion with an Effect.

 

Overall, this looks fine as a Link4 option to have if your deck can occasionally access it. While the Borrels ought to be more accessible due to their arguably more generic requirements, this card can deal with threats they cannot or finish games more safely, and unlike the Borrels it doesn't need at least 3 materials, so in some cases this may be a more feasible or available option, for instance if you control a Link3 and an Effect Fusion with a matching Type.
