Is it okay if I cackle while playing this card and looking at my opponent's face?

When it resolves, it's goddamn harsh. I hate when turn two Knight of meadowgrain comes followed up by this on turn three, and as armodillo cloak grants no lifelink, that's 8 life for the controller.


If you got no removal, god you are screwed.

pacifism is one of the best auras? you can do the same with the Cloak!

and armadillo cloak can't be re-written for lifelink as it would alter the functionality of the card.
You can use this on the oponent's card, and you wouldn't be able to do so with Lifelink

Turn 1: Green
Turn 2: White cast Watchwolf
Turn 3: Green cast Armadillo Cloak on the Watchwolf, attack for 5!
10 point life swing on turn 3. NICE!

Or if you want until turn 4 to give your opponent a chance:
Turn 1: Green
Turn 2: White cast Watchwolf
Turn 3: Red Attack for 3 with the Watchwolf, cast Woolly Thoctar
Turn 4: cast Armadillo Cloak on the Woolly Thoctar, attack for 10! (7 from the Thoctar and 3 from the Watchwolf)
That'll get you a 20 point life swing on turn 4. Hard to beat that!

Good flavor text. Amazing with Rith, the Awakener.

When i was a to'al nub I found this card and thought "That's... ridiculous." I bought a set and... they're ridiculous. It sucks when you lose a creature with these attached but outside of getting trample and a meagre boost, the life gain makes it insane. Combine this with a CliffRunner behemoth or similar and you're getting 12+ life back.

Often I'd end up with 2 or 3 and I'd keep buffing the same creature, if only for the near exponential benefit you get for them. I remember in my *very* casual days I managed three of these on a suntail hawk with a few other enchanments. Was gaining something like 30+ life a turn off of that one bird. Even better I had a turn where I took over 100 damage, sitting at a mere 80 something. The good ol' days...

Still holds a good place in my heart even when I don't find a place for it in my decks.

@ liir007
You need to add in Armored Ascension to your top 10 list.
