Rulings
  • WotCMay 1, 2008

    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.

  • WotCMay 1, 2008

    If a creature with an {Q} ability hasn’t been under your control since your most recent turn began, you can’t activate that ability, unless the creature has haste.

  • WotCMay 1, 2008

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

  • WotCMay 1, 2008

    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.

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