{2}, {Q}: Add one mana of any color. ({Q} is the untap symbol.)

It wasn't really expected to fly. Then again, it wasn't expected to move, either.

5/1/2008·wotc

Pili-Pala’s ability is a mana ability. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to.

5/1/2008·wotc

Using this creature’s ability means you’re untapping it for mana, not tapping it for mana. Mana Reflection won’t cause it to produce extra mana.

5/1/2008·wotc

If Pili-Pala is already untapped, you can’t activate its {Q} ability. That’s because you can’t pay the “Untap this permanent” cost.
