Diligent Farmhand

Sacrifice-to-ramp dorks usually pay for themselves once and then they are gone, but this one was built to cash in twice. The first payout is the obvious one: trade the body and a little mana for a basic onto the battlefield tapped, smoothing the curve in a way that matters most to color-hungry green decks. The second payout is the line of small print at the bottom, the part that ties it to the threshold-and-graveyard architecture of its era. Muscle Burst grows for each card in graveyards named Muscle Burst, and Diligent Farmhand counts as one of those once it dies. So a creature you wanted to sacrifice anyway, for value you would take regardless, quietly stocks a second engine on its way to the bin. That double duty is the design idea: the ramp ability gives you every reason to spend the body, and spending the body feeds a pump spell that rewards exactly the kind of full graveyard a self-milling, threshold-leaning deck is already trying to assemble. It is a piece of glue from a design moment when the bin paid dividends instead of merely fueling enemy strategies, and when the most efficient way to grow a creature was to spend your other creatures first.
