Made some text fixes to clear up the card.

Realistically, this would probably be used at worst in strategies to solidify a board rather than for its intended purpose. As for that purpose, the card is pretty awkward for a conventional deck since one does have to commit a lot of resources just to summon a Level 4.

 

In terms of its intended use, I could see it for Level 1 spam decks alongside Link monsters and Xyzs (since the card's Level condition doesn't affect them). All in all, pretty interesting, especially the "first turn activation" effect.
