If Pili-Pala is already untapped, you can’t activate its
ability. That’s because you can’t pay the “Untap this permanent” cost. - WotCMay 1, 2008
If a creature with an
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.
