Great card if you're wanting to give a powerboost to something small, or if you just want to torment your opponent by making something badass even more badass. I have two in my current Forest/Plains deck, and I messed up my opponent when I played it on a Stampeding Rhino.
Final Comment:
Great card.

White Deck + This + 4 Jungle Shrine and 4 Graypelt Refuge = Awesome.
Especially with Mesa Enchantress.

Not as amazing as Moldervine Cloak, but still a great card. Its too bad that Troll Ascetic isn't in M10; it would be sweet as hell to play this enchantment on him.

I don't see why everyone is oo'ing and aweing. This is terrible! It's right on what you expect to get for your mana cost... except that it's an enchantment
It's exactly what MTG has been trying not to do for several sets now. Bouncing Auras, Umbras, auras that produce a token when they leave, or auras that are powerful enough (I.E. you get a lot for what you pay for) are what are required to make auras "Worth it".
Something like this is saying "hey I spent third or fourth turn buffing up a guy you didn't like anyway, hope you don't use any of the mega powerful removal (or even bounce cards..) to 2 for 1 me!"

Art depicts a wolf. Reference to Timber Wolves, perhaps?

Meh, they could have just taken Elephant Guide to a Core Set...

I understand that The Powers That Be don't want to put this Moldervine Cloak or Boar Umbra in a core set, and it's reasonable, but I don't understand why they couldn't make a car that is almost always clearly inferior to the other two cards. Why not giving it a simple, slight edge? Like, it gets +3/+3 and trample and/or reach...
