Too expensive. Whispersilk Cloak often feels far too expensive, and that sticks around when the creature kicks the bucket. It only costs 1 more and is colorless.
The true disadvantage to an aura such as this one isn't even the card disadvantage from instant creature kill before it resolves. It's the virtual disadvantage that comes when you have no creatures to play it on, or when you're waiting for your opponent to tap out. Also, when four mana isn't increasing your damage output at all, you gotta wonder if this would even be good in draft or sealed. You'd need to clog up the board with big butts to even race slowly with it.
"Unblockable" is usually a trap when it comes to constructed anyway. People typically don't play creatures that they want to chump with. Either its bigger and will attack you back harder, or smaller and wouldn't block anyway...
Oh, one more thing. You attack with this, they kill the aura and block. Ouch.
The kind of creature you want to put this on is probably yo... (see all)

Interesting card, any reason to choose this over whispersilk cloak though?

Supremely close to being strictly worse than whispersilk shroud.
