Edit: They fixed it. Used to say "Enchanted creature has haste."

Note that, unfortunately, it cannot let a creature tap as part of an activated ability cost the turn it comes into play. It only allows creatures to attack as though they had haste; otherwise they still have summoning sickness. The untap for {0}: works great on mana producers, but the hastification is lost on them.
On an attacker, the haste has better use and the untap ability can act as a pseudo-vigilance.

Slap it on a Elvish Archdruid or the sort. Haste and a free untap per turn for G is pretty solid.

Wow, what horrible errata. The 5th edition card says "unaffected by summoning sickness", and yet it's now been changed to just give the enchanted creature the ability to attack and not actual haste. That's actually a significant change: one of the best uses for this card - arguably the point of the card - is to power up creatures with tap abilities. What does letting a creature attack have to do with tap abilities?

Wish it gave real haste, but the oracle text is more true to its original wording.

Compare to Second Wind, amusingly. It would be interesting to see a reprint where you tapped the enchantment to activate the effect.

I just saw the change they did on the card today and I'm hating it! Attack as though they had haste? WTH? OK, granting that this is indeed closer to the original wording of the card, then they should also do the same with the older "haste" cards like Ball Lightning, Ambush Party, etc...
