Pili-Pala

Artifact Creature - Scarecrow 1/1, 2 (2)
Flying
{2}, {Q}: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. ({Q} is the untap symbol.)¹
It wasn't really expected to fly. Then again, it wasn't expected to move, either.
Illus. Ron Spencer

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 5/1/2008: If the permanent is already untapped, you can't activate its {Q} ability. That's because you can't pay the "Untap this permanent" cost.
• 5/1/2008: The "summoning sickness" rule applies to {Q}. 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. Ignore this rule if the creature also has haste.
• 5/1/2008: When you activate an {Q} ability, you untap the creature with that ability as a cost. The untap can't be responded to. (The actual ability can be responded to, of course.)
• 5/1/2008: 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.
