This. Thing. Is. NUTS!!! I got one in the Phyrexia vs. the Coalition, and it ROCKS! I have a playset in my Eldrazi Green deck, and hitting every turn with an ever-growing Omnath, Locus of Mana is very quick...in fact, half the time, I don't even get out any eldrazi, because my opponent is dead from my Timbermaw Larva!
5/5

@HaseoYamazaki - that's true, but there are plenty of ways to get around the cloak from blocking your own abilities. In the end, all you have to do is move the cloak, do your targeting, and move it back. Cards like Puresteel Paladin (with metalcraft) or even Brass Squire help a lot with this.
Brass Squire also can protect from instants interrupting your switching, since he can put the cloak back at instant speed.

Phyrexian Juggernaut +Whispersilk Cloak. This simple, no-frills combo almost always works. Keep in mind this requires nothing other than a solid land base, so it'll work anywhere

I'm stating the obvious, but this is ideal for creatures with a 'when this creature deals combat damage to a player, do-something-cool' effects.
Some cards that come to mind include
trygon predator
wanderwine prophets
blinding angel
sphinx ambassador
hypnotic specter (and other specters)
ashling the extinguisher
spawnwrithe
cold-eyed selkie (and other draw-when-deal-damage guys)
augury adept (one of my personal faves)
dimir cutpurse
the nephilims
rith, the awakener; vorash, the hunter; teneb the harvester, et al
skullbriar, the walking grave

I would prefer if it was hexproof, not shroud, so that I could super-duper enchant a guy in my Zur the Enchanter EDH, but you can just do the enchanting beforehand.
And hexproof instead of shroud would make this ridiculous.
@RuleofZod
Since the equipment has already been attached, the action of equipping it has already happened, so the target is not being negated.
