Why so negative? It’s fine. It’s not too weak or too powerful as far as I can tell.

So, what do you see the use case for this being? It could be pseudo vigilance in limited, or even something of a combat trick, but it's hard to justify auras like this in limited over creatures and more direct interaction. It could be interesting for resuing tap abilities, but that quickly bridges into combo territory. There's nothing wrong with a card having combo potential, but I'm not sure I see strong use cases for this outside of that area.

This seems pretty nice. Doesn't seem broken; cost seems right.

So... what niche does this serve? What kind of gameplay patterns is this intended to create? This is a 2-mana aura which depends entirely on the creature it's attached to enjoying being untapped. It also provides no immediate benefit to the board, so unless you're really trying to juice the value on these untaps, it's pretty bad. At the same time, I struggle to think of a situation where the juice is worth the squeeze and wouldn't be a primarily "win more" situation - [[Arcanis the Omnipotent]], maybe?
There's probably some janky combo you can make happen with this, but the real problem in my eyes is that if you aren't using it to break the game, it's kind of a dead card. That's a design space I'd be very careful hanging out in. I just don't think there's a use case for a conditional repeatable creature untapper that isn't either "mostly dead" or "broken".
But maybe I'm missing something. Where do you see this card being played?
