Eccentric Farmer
The trick here is that self-mill and land recursion, usually two separate jobs, get fused into one enters trigger that pays for itself. Milling three fills the graveyard for anything that wants a stocked bin (delirium, flashback, escape, reanimation), and the land clause turns that self-inflicted loss into a soft guarantee: you almost always find a land to buy back, so you rarely mill away a resource without recouping something. That is the design logic that keeps it from sliding into pure card disadvantage. A midrange green deck gets a 2/3 blocker, a land drop's worth of insurance against flooding or screwing, and three cards of graveyard fuel, all bundled into a fair early-turn body. The land return also plays quietly into landfall and land-sacrifice loops: a creature that reliably restocks your hand with a fetchable, recurrable land is a small engine in a deck built to abuse enters-the-battlefield triggers. Nothing about the rate is flashy, and it will never headline a format, but the packaging is smart. Folding graveyard-matters payoff, mana consistency, and a serviceable blocker into one common-friendly creature is the unassuming glue green midrange decks lean on without ever mentioning by name.
