This can be a really useful card in a deck. You can put out any creature for the low cost of one green mana. Who wants a huge trampling creature for just 1 mana?

I think that this is one of the best green cards because u can play any card with it no matter what the casting cost of the card is and as long as u have 1 mana! If u were to put this card and a Planer Portal in a deck u could get and play all your best cards for 7 mana! What could be sweeter?

Never underestimate the power of the elves! I f you don't like mixing colors that aren't friendly to each other, you still might want to try this (for friendly play): A green/black deck with sixty cards, twenty of them lands, combine elves for green and huge creatures for black. Add this card and some Demonic Tutors, so you have a bigger chance of getting it. Maybe add some Regrowths so you can pick up the Tutors again. A very great deck! Won plenty. PS: You can add cards like Colossus of Sardia without paying the untap cost with throwing in a few Instill Energy.

this card is the worst card, i mean the piper is not even scottish for cripe sake

The piper is one of the best, if not THE best elf in magic. Being able to put out any creature for one mana is excellent. Being able to put out a big creature early in the game makes winning a lot easier. Also the guy who gave the piper a one rating is a piece of ----.

Ok, everyone has already lavished praise on it. but i love this card. (I am being seen by a psychiatrist, yes.)
One really tasty trick with the piper is using it for 'splash' creatures. Want a Hypnox in your green deck? want a BFM (unglued, i know, but the fun, the fun...)? then just piper them. cards like eladamri's call (

This is a really good card. Is it banned yet?

I depise this card solely because my friend uses it EVERY GAME to get out huge creatures such as silvos or kahmal etc.
It is cheap!

(G,Tap: Put a creature from your hand out into play.) Great in a big creature mono green deck. Get this out and you can play Krosan Cloudscraper(13/13 for 7GGG) out on your 2nd or 3rd turn with mana giving creatures too. Love this card man.

two people gave this great card one star......

i think this card is a tremendous card only to be used in a huge creature deck only because the point of this card is to bring out your huge creatures. I fyou are playing a green deck with big creatures i suggest playing this card.

Three and half, so that a bunch of people don't go rambling on about what an idiot I am for giving this card a three. This card is excellent, but it is slightly unfair. Put it in a R/G deck with Fires of Yavimaya and bring out your 8/8 Plated Slagwurm (my favorite card I might add) for one G, then sac Fires and it is a 10/10 haste, can't be target of spells or abilities, and the game is basically over for the other player. Then, I you want to adda little more humiliation, use a Seeker of Skybreak to untap Piper and bring in Silvos and you have an 8/5 trample, regen, haste and a 10/10 that can't be burned, ad then you win the game. All because of a 1/1 Elf. Ur opponent will hate u forever and they will never play w/you again. Sorry if u spend both toady and tomorrow reading this. Peace out.

REALLY GOOD FOR BIG CREATURE DECK!
-- By Blake Xavier from California on June 11, 2004 |

this card is the best card out there to have! i mean, no matter what the mana cost, you have this and another G mana, you are as good as gold! With AANNYY Creature!

Not to bad but kinda weak. if you can pump him up with enchantments to like a 4/4 and make him black then that deck would be sweet but it would be very easy to take out as a 1/1 green creature.

Too much fun! Try this one out with the new Kamigawa block.... Im thinking Moijins!! 3rd round iname as one, and then grab the black moijin for free!!-----discard your hands please...--------and for a good boost to the deck, try wierd harvest, works great with black moijin!!!!!

-- By piperocks from yeayea that way on September 15, 2005 |

Talk about a fast army? Your beast and elf deck would love this card.

What can be said more of this card? Everything !!
With 4 of these in your deck, summoning anything just got easier.
To name a few noteworthy cards (Greenish and Artifacts mind you) : Darksteel Colossus, Thorn Elemental, Plated Slagwurm, Autochthon Wurm, Myojin of Life’s Web, Krosan Colossus, Bringer of the Green Dawn, Body of Jukai, Chorus of the Conclave, Verdant Force, Symbiotic Wurm, and Sekki, Seasons’ Guide.
All of the above are cards that take 8 mana or more (with a few exceptions) that can be summoned immediatly into play, meaning they can't be countered, with a tap and one green mana. You can't beat it !!

one of the best cards perriod.
-- By Anonymous from somewhere, CA USA on April 22, 2006 |

What I like about it, is the fact you can lay the creature at ANY moment, for ONE mana, and the creature CAN NOT BE COUNTERED!

use with freed from the real, and badda-boom! several huge creatures at once with enough forests and islands

It looks flashy, but it will be killed at once by any decent deck. The fact that it can put out anything means it will be targeted with almost anything the opponent has, and a 1/1 is not really that hard to kill. Practically any black or red card can kill it, and it can be stolen just as easily.

This card is DEFINITELY overrated. Why? Because A. Elf decks have MASSIVE mana accelleration (Let me think... Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, Gaea's Cradle, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, and Priest of Titania, just to name a few), and nearly all creatures in elf decks are really cheap. Sure, piper can play more powerful green cards (or any cards, if your running multiple colours), but there is no point at all. Why? Well, with all of the extra mana floating around, you could basically dry cast anything, and there'd be no point in piping it. Also, instead of relying on powerful creatures, rely on small creatures and pumping of said creatures. Such as with Elvish Champion, Coat of Arms, etc, which all work in an elf deck. Also, there are some great enchantments and equipment for elf decks (Blanchwood Armour, Umizawas Jitte), powering them further. Combine these factors with the fact that you can pump them even more white 1-turn instants (Giant Growth, Might of Oaks, Berserk (If you've got the cash)), to make them stronger. I'd think doing all of this makes more sense then getting 1 or 2 massive creatures into play, don't you? Or, you can just forget this and make an generic "elfball" finisher, where you use your 20+ mana (think about it. Gaea's Cradle gives you 1 green mana for every creature under your control, Rofellos gives you 1 green mana for every forest you control, and Priest of Titania gives you 1 green mana for every elf in your control. Combine this with the several forests, and the Llanowar Elves and Birds you have floating around. Suddenly the 20-30+ mana seems plausible now, doesn't it?) on a fireball. Instant death. What do you think of your little elvish piper now?
Well, maybe I'm being hard on the Piper. It is a pretty good card (For example, as early as your 3rd or 4th turn, you can get a Serra Avatar into play (with the right accelleration, and an Elvish Piper), when your still at high life), but is much overpowered by generic tribal elves.
