If you like this one, and can splash black, check out Golgari Charm; it has two other possible modes in addition to this.

@ubii: It only taps if the creature is dealt damage to destroy it (rules 2010, possibly earlier). The definition of regeneration is "Regenerate *permanent*" means "The next time *permanent* would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage from it, tap it, and (if it's in combat) remove it from combat."
One could regenerate it during their upkeep and use it just fine for that turn until it's dealt lethal damage or destroyed then it will tap. New rules also mean regeneration has to be up before damage is dealt, which is the declare blockers step in combat or "in response" to a spell/effect.
First strike is a problem for regenerators, notice the text removed from combat. If a first striker does enough damage and you have a regeneration shield, your creature will be regenerated and removed from combat, having done none back to the first striker. I use regeneration in Magic Online, the declare blockers step is the last moment they will let me regenerate my creature to sa... (see all)

Regenerating doesn't cause creatures to lose +1/+1 counters, it removes them from destruction, prevents it before it happens.

Actually a very useful card when attacking all out, or against the new Wrath of God from Zendikar (which will not have an anti-regen effect) and Planar Cleansing.

Probably more useful with Day of Judgment, because how often can you count on having to deal with that in a format that Future Sight is legal?

This card laughs at Day of Judgement.

"wrap in vigor" sounds like an inspired condom advertisement.
