It gets better designers to rework somebody elses card for me :p

I guess yours works.
But there is a slight difference, but it only would take effect in a slim number of games. Like when other things cause things to etb tapped (this is a Blind Obedience) ; or Stony Silence . Again, marginal, but that was just the first thing to enter into my head; that's all.

I don't think corner cases justify 2 lines of text.

I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine.

Other two do accomplish what your version is capable of but in a different manner. You can save version for later where the original is forced to work when it comes into play

This statement is not referring the corner cases.
It is referring to the fact that mine was a first draft.

etb tapped. adds mana when etb. This was the base... the other stuff was to make it useful after it etb.
tap for mana.
doesn't untap.

Mown tidied it up for me is all.
