A cool thing to keep in mind: when Piru dies and deals that damage to all nonlegendary creatures, since Piru has lifelink, you’ll gain seven life for each creature that was dealt damage that way.

Repercussion is an enchantment that can actually end up dealing lethal damage to opponents that control too many nonlegendary creatures without protection when Piru dies. Toralf, God of Fury   has a similar effect, and since it’s legendary it won’t take damage from Piru’s dies trigger.

Feldon of the Third Path is neat: you can make a copy of Piru with haste, gaining seven life if it deals combat damage, and then during your end step you’ll need to sacrifice it and get Piru’s death trigger, which Feldon conveniently dodges since it’s legendary.

No Repercussion means no worries about killing yourself.

Focus on Toralf, God of Fury   since it only hits opponent’s.

Take advantage of opponent’s attacking you, since we're slower.Inkshield, Deflecting Palm, Mirror Strike

One of my all-time favorite cards is Brash Taunter, which could activate to fight Piru in response to its upkeep trigger to send seven damage at an opponent’s face, and then when Piru dies it’ll take another seven damage that you can send to an opponent’s face.
