I like to think the Umbra mechanic was reverse-engineered from this card. Perhaps there was a meeting at R&D that went something like this:
Guy 1: "So guys, I don't think auras are cutting it." Guy 2: "Yeah, they are just way too easy to deal with. Even colors that can't deal with enchantments well, like black and red, can simply just destroy the creature it's enchanting." Guy 3: "Right." Guy 4: *Nods* Chad from Human Resources: "True, but what if the aura's existence could also be justified BY the death of the creature it's enchanting?" Guy 2: "What, you mean like Elephant Guide?" Chad from Human Resources: "Yes, yes! But instead of an elephant, you got..." *Chad takes a grand pause* Guy 3: "J-just tell us Chad, the suspense is killing me!" Chad from Human Resources: "...instead you got to keep the creature! It stays alive, and the enchantment goes into the graveyard in its place! Good idea, right?" *The room is silent.* Guy 1: "...Why are you at this meeting, Chad? Go back to HR." Chad from Human Resources: "...'kay." *Chad exits" Guy 1: "...So, I got this new idea. What if there were auras that gave nice little benefits, you know, like normal aura crap, but the card's true power would be realized when the creature they were enchanting would be destroyed. Instead of the creature dying, the enchantment would go to the graveyard. What do you guys think?" Guy 2: "Solid." Guy 3: "Perfect." Guy 4: "I love it. And let's reprint Elephant Guide in one of the upcoming duel decks. I love that card!" -fin-

Oakenform was halfway playable. This is just crazy.
