It'd go nicely with Merieke or Rubinia in EDH? Cool art and flavour text, too.

@A3Kitsune: Not really. Don't forget that Crab Umbra has Totem Armor, and will protect your creature nicely in addition to letting it untap. This aura suits less important creatures with decent tap abilities, such as a Prodigal Pyromancer, while Crab Umbra suits expensively costed creatures with very good tap abilities, such as Lightning Crafter or Elvish Piper.
You can pay 1, tap an elemental, and it untaps the Slug with the Aura. Use the tapped elemental for mana, and repeat the token making. Net 3 tokens each go just about.
Sword requires sacrificing 3 tokens each cycle.
Staff doesn't gain you anything without a booster effect.

This plus Grimoire Thief becomes "(1): Exile the top 3 cards of target opponent's library." Pay (1) and tap Thief as cost, Thief's trigger goes on stack, Thief untaps from Aura, rinse, repeat. This is one of my wincons in my casual mill deck. Its way to powerful, even gets rid of those pesky "shuffle into your library" effects that hurt mill so bad.

Can you enchant a Grimoire thief with this and tap it to untap it? If so that's three cards exile milled for each 1 mana.

Great in an elf deck on Wellwisher. Almost infinity life (or at least a whole lot)

I'm playing this attached to a Royal Assassin. With Tezzeret the Seeker on the field you tap artifact creatures to get this to go off and then roll up Tezz to untap your artifact creatures again. You've just killed three creatures in one turn with the Royal Assassin's ability and have creatures ranging from Silver Myr to Blightsteel Colossus to swing with, depending on what you're running for your artifacts.

Enchanted Slug makes Tokens x4 unless you boost.

Fits perfectly with the art.
For more craziness: Lodestone Myr for infinite power w/ trample, Myr Matrix for infinite myr, Myr Welder to redeem all activated abilities from the grave, Myr Battlesphere for overkll.
Pain Seer for tons of card advantage.
Oreskos Sun Guide for lifegain.
