... I find it funny how there are people who can only take notice of a card's weakness, opposed to it's strengths... Being realistic is one thing, but by pointing out the weaknesses you are very much pointing out the ovious. But WHATEVA.....
I love this card, got a set for my scarecrow deck. I think it's rediculous they reprinted this AND Darksteel in the SAME set lol. Perfect for a scarecrow deck, uses all five colors so helps me with the few non scarecrows that require colors (like my 2 Shavan Dragons for fun) or aln insane amount of mana (aka set of Darksteel).

This might be one of the only creatures ever for which "dies to removal" is actually a severe and limiting handicap.

@Snakething:
Emrakul only gives you the extra turn if you CAST it, now when it enters the battlefield.
@AbyssalManZero:
Are you seriously running a scarecrow deck?

To be fair, a simple mana producing creature almost does the same thing. You can have 6 mana on turn 3 with any mana creature that produces 2 or more mana, like bloom tender. The only difference with elvish piper is you might reserve a bit more mana to use for something else. It's nice to think hey I'll stack my deck with super huge creatures and pop them out for 1 mana a piece, but what if you don't draw your elvish piper and your looking down at a hand of unplayable cards. So, in essence its actually really impractical. Without some way of keeping her in play or protecting her a lot, shes going to die in a second flat. On the other hand, you could have some fun building a deck around her, with 4 x elvish piper, and 4 x progenitus, freed from the real, and vines of the vast wood to make sure she doesn't die. Add in a tutor card to make sure you get your progentius or elvish piper, and your set to go. Just don't expect to win all your games that way.

Rather mediocre, anything kills it. Most of the time Dramatic Entrance does the job better. Cute picture though. :)

@Juggulator:
What about -
T1: Forest, remove 3 Elvish Spirit Guides, play Elvish Piper
T2: use ability?

The ability is overpowered, but the cost is right and it's very easy to kill/destroy with pretty much anything. I think this card is well balanced and deserves 5 stars.
