Commons like this made buying Masques boosters more worthwhile than the janky rare you were liable to pull.
Auras put on the creature before Diplomatic Immunity resolves stay on it. If you have auras with flash or a flash-enabling card like Leyline of Anticipation this is important. I could cast Relic Ward on a creature that you wish to enchant with DI, choosing blue, making the target illegal. But, if you have the Leyline, you can cast DI in response to any spell or ability to effectively counter it.

If you can get this onto a creature that also has Indestructibility (like Spearbreaker), the only way for the creature to leave play is if you were to sacrifice it; or if something like Evacuation, Wash Out, or Soulquake were to resolve ... or if there were a broad-stroke effect (non-targeting) that gave the creature enough of a negative to toughness (not damage) to send it away.

Protection from nearly everything. Good for a bit creature and cheap to.

Along with global removal, wouldn't Lure also be able to flush out the enchanted creature since it's not targeted?

Step 1: Choose a creature.
Step 2: Put Followed Footsteps on said creature.
Step 3: Enchant the creature with Diplomatic Immunity and watch your opponents panic.
My favorite for this trick is Umara Raptor. And if you really feel like having fun toss in a couple Paradox Haze.
