Tapping the enchantment itself is a very FutureSight thing to do, the only card in existence that's an enchantment that taps itself, is Second Wind.

To adress the X thing, you could make it something like: {T}: put an oil counter, on target creature. You lose life equal to that creature's mana value.

I think the answer is simply “Enchantments* don’t have activated abilities with {T} as a cost”, whereas Lands do. Urza’s Saga does not technically have a {T} cost on the card itself - it confers that ability after the fact, and conferring abilities with a {T} is something Enchantments do with some abundance.

*Other than three fringe examples (Flowstone Embrace, Second Wind, and Witch's Mist) from Future Sight, a set which purposefully was showing things Wizards could do, but did not really want to, so it does not have much precedential value.

For some reason I was expecting to see Second Wind lol.

Looks alright, although it's a little light on payoffs. I like Oneirophage for decks like this, or Sprite Dragon. Of course the famous one is The Locust God.

This also might be good with Aegar, the Freezing Flame to let you burn things and draw cards at the same time. 4 copies of Irencrag Pyromancer almost seem required, and if you combo him with Aegar you could do quite a lot of drawing and killing things.

I have a few problems with the card.

First, from a simple mechanical stance, it should not tap. In the entire game, there are only two mono-enchantments that tap--Witch's Mist and Second Wind. Both of these, however, come from Future Sight--a set designed to do weird things and which is not really precedent for what the game's design can do.

I also think this is extremely over-costed. Not only do you have to spend five mana to cast the card, you have to spend three to activate it, tap five creatures, and your opponent has to agree.

What's more--your opponent does not agree until all costs are paid. They would be able to strike a bargain with you, get you to tap down all your creatures and a significant investment of mana, then renege on the deal after you have committed to the costs. That makes the card problematic from both a risk-reward balancing stance in deciding to activate, and from a general social contract stance, since it encourages folks to backstab their friends.

: Exile target card from a graveyard, if target spells controller was the owner of the exiled card, counter it unless they pay life equal to that spells mana value.

This was a cool challenge. Make a creature based on the Vindr Stormchasers from Second Wind .

Thanks for your suggestion BarbarianSun Pope! Freed from the Real really looks like a strong card for my deck... If I understand Second Wind correctly, it might be even stronger. Is it correct that I can use it to tap my psionically gifted marsh viper and while that activity is on the stack I can activate the Psionic Gift ? So after the Psionic Gift resolves and piosons my opponent, my dear pet viper will untap again? If that works it would be the perfect combo for the Deck and I would try to work stronger around it, leaving out the other snakes (except that neat Cobra, for nostalgic reasons...) and some of the other stuff and rather stuff it with tutors and mana boost...

Nice deck (+1), I like the direct poison tactics here. Have you considered Basilisk Collar and Freed from the Real/Second Wind to go with the Viridian Longbow? If you're worried about protection, I would suggest Monastery Siege to make it much harder for your opponents to target your creatures (multiple copies stack =)). Hope this helps.
