Switch the costs. This stinks of a Wizards foul-up like Mindless Null.

>>> And why is it 3 to untap? Would it otherwise have been far too powerful? The crabs just take one mana to untap. What a letdown.<<<
Because you can enchant a mana generating card with this aura. Anything less than 3 mana cost could easily produce infinite mana.

@ this card:
It"s a pity that the interaction possibilities in this set are rather negligible.

Can you imagine how broken this would be if it were green? You could make infinite mana so fast with old cards... Priest of Titania.

Come on people! Stop whining! You can see that this aura is meant to be used with certain creatures with powerful tap effects right? I agree, on most creatures this aura is not worth using, but with cards like Arcanis the Omnipotent this card is amazing! The best example I can think of right now is Kamahl, Pit Fighter. Kamahl is powerful, but frail, and this aura perfectly enhances his strengths and suppresses his weakness. Imagine this situation: You've just begun your turn with a Kamahl, Pit Fighter on the board enchanted with a Crab Umbra, while your opponent's got Grizzly Bears and Wild Griffin on his side of the table. You skip your main phase since you've got no cards in your hand at the moment, and go on straight to the combat phase. Before you declare attackers you tap Kamahl and kill his Griffin, and then you pay (2)(U) to activate the Umbra's ability a... (see all)

Compare it to pemmin's aura: that's what a johnny enchantment is supposed to look like.

And why is it 3 to untap? Would it otherwise have been far too powerful? The crabs just take one mana to untap. What a letdown.

At least the art is nice, but sadly thats the only good thing about this card.
