The great thing is that this stacks with Lifelink, so if you enchant your own creature, you'll gave double the life!

Yes, this card stacks with lifelink thus you get double lifegain.
An instance is Behemoth Sledge + this.
@brunsbr103: Not really. Behemoth Sledge stays in the field when your equipped creature dies but armadillo cloak goes with the creature when it dies. You only need to pay 3 mana to equip it so armadillo cloak is cheaper if you want to attack early. You can also enchant armadillo cloak on your opponent's creatures to render them useless when they're attacking, but not when blocking.
I personally love both of the cards <3

Why don't they just say "lifelink"
because they are completely different things.
with this texting, you can stack with as many similar abilities (not lifelink), and up to one lifelink (multiple lifelinks are redundant)
plus, since it doesn't grant anything to the creature, you can equip your opponent's creature to "counter" the damage he would deal to you, making it virtually "useless" as an attacking force

There is always a risk involved when playing auras, since you can lose two of your cards for the price of one of your opponent's cards. So when using an aura, one must ask if the reward is worth the risk.
This is one of my buddy's favourite cards. I cannot count the number of games that have swung in his favour merely because I couldn't answer his cloaked creature.
If you are going to play an aura in your deck, you can't go wrong with Armadillo Cloak.
This new artwork is nice, but the original artwork is more humorous, which lends well the the ridiculous flavor.

you can do that, cissero. Enchant your opponent's creatures all you want, and gain life with it, too. I use Spirit link as a reference.
Much better than that new fangled "Behemoth Sledge" imho

Armadillo Cloak, along with Spirit Link, Vampiric Link, and Essence Sliver, were NOT errata-texted with Lifelink, therefore their abilities still stack.

The artwork is worth the entire product. The great abilities makes a bonus.
Well, mabye not, but this is still a great card. Even the flavortext is great! :)

Normally I dont like artwork changes on such popular cards, but im gonna have to say this aint bad. Of course, the last artwork didn't have as much cleavage either....
