Aspect of the Mongoose this thing and you've got a nearly steel defense.

You could free your own creatures from disabling auras like pacifism by killing them somehow. The card doesn't distinguish that you own the auras as well as the permanent.
I'm not sure how often you'd be able to take advantage of that though since you'd need to have some red or black in your deck and also be up against enemy auras but I like it when unusual actions end up saving your creatures.

@Kloid, actually, the Totem armour has no effect. Being reduced to 0 toughness does not destroy it. The creature is simply put into graveyard as a state-based effect, so it's a higher 'priority' of being killed. Having zero toughness trumps regeneration, indestructibility, etc, so totem armour doesn't save it either -- it can only protect from destruction via Doom Blade or lethal damage or a similar effect.

This is a great card in the right deck. But what I really like about it is the art. Instead of depicting a scantily-clad young lady with ridiculously large Bouncing Beebles, this card shows an older woman who isn't half naked. I give this card points just for that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the sexy angels and elves and whatnot, but art like this is refreshing sometimes.

Aside from Aspect of the Mongoose, good old Rancor also does a neat job with that card.
Totem armor.
Yeah, i always waited for an ability like that to get rid of this unpleasant card disadvantage. Glad to see it finally.

I know this would never work, but how funny would this be if you used this and wheel of sun and moon and could get away with it?

Seems kinda nuts if you've got enough cheap Auras. We'll see, I guess.

One of the more amusing effects of this card is how it interacts with "do something and it dies" enchantments, like Mortal Wound, or even Blight.
"What's that, I tap my land and its destroyed? How about I tap it, keep my land, and get rid of that Aura instead?"

Looks like my English teacher.
Art is pleasant. Mauve hues look good on white cards.
