Myojin of Life's Web

states that if it is "played" from your hand, not cast.

Can I cheat it into play to get the divinity counter on it? Elvish Piper , Quicksilver Amulet , Braid, conjurer adept!?

No. The updated Oracle ruling for Myojin of Life's Web from Gatherer replaces "played" with "cast."

"Myojin of Life's Web enters the battlefield with a divinity counter on it if you cast it from your hand."

No, you can't. However, you CAN get a divinity counter if you used an ability or spell that instead lets you play/cast it from hand without paying its mana cost, although I don't know any card that does that at the moment.
Oracle ruling:

601.1a Some effects still refer to "playing" a card. "Playing a card" means playing that card as a land or casting that card as a spell, whichever is appropriate.

Omniscience does, but with the enchantment out, you don't need the creature

Older cards use the word "play" the way modern cards use the word "cast".
