Nearly every card in Time Spiral was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.
This card references Spirit Link and is part of a cycle of auras that harken back to the Rancor cycle in Urza's Legacy. The other cards in this cycle include Aspect of the Mongoose, Fool's Demise, Fallen Ideal, and Undying Rage.

It does stack with lifelink since they're two seperate abilities. That's what's nice about this card. Getting it back once it goes away makes this quite playable in my deck.

Does it stack with lifelink? If it does, it's pretty good for lifegain/lifedrain decks.

With Rancor, it's like Armadillo Cloak, but without the +2 in toughness and the terrible feeling when the creature's destroyed.

Love the way most of the enchantments in this set/block work in the same way as Rancor :D

Hyon, yes it does stack with lifelink, since its a different ability.

John_Firefly, that doesn't work because by the time it does the damage, it's no longer enchanted. If you used Soul Link (from apocalypse) that would work because it triggers on damage dealt to the creature.
Come to think of it, the new aura from M10 (Lifelink) would work because it grants a keyword ability directly to the creature. But this card doesn't work like that.
