They should have made a cycle of these

Goblin Piper (2R): R,T: Play an instant card from your hand.

Cabal Piper (3B): B,T: Play a sorcery card from your hand. (Black seems more into sorceries than Red).

Vedalken Piper (4U): U,T: Put an artifact card from your hand into play.

Human (?) Piper (3W): W,T: Put an enchantment card from your hand into play, you may attach it to target permanent if it's an aura.

As for the card itself. It's a very powerful card, and paints a big target on its self, which is why you need to protect it. It also works very very nicely for those nasty multicolor abomonations that are such a pain to get out.

I recently got a deck full of old biggies and I have to say: If wizards hadn't invented this card (as well as Lurking Predators), I would be stuffed. Thank you guys ;)

Hello Doom Blade target! Whenever my friend plays this card I immediatly destroy it or counnter it. Then i'll use Rise from the Grave and put it onto the field as my creature. I don't have any green mana to play it so it gets to sit under my control in front of it's former owner, doing absolutly nothing. Haha

The fact that you can activate the ability at the end of your opponent's turn is just sexy.

@InquisitorKryptman: The reason that Elvish Piper is not banned is because, as powerful as its ability is, there are even faster ways to get a creature onto the battlefield. One example is the combo of Dark Ritual, Entomb, and Reanimate, which will get nearly any creature into play before your opponent has even dropped a land.

If this card is causing you problems in your play group, you should suggest to your friends that they not use it, or if they refuse and you are playing against that deck, make sure to save a kill spell every game. They'll get disappointed pretty quickly.
