Limestone Golem

Artifact Creature — Golem6 generic mana

Pay two mana, sacrifice the Golem, and a target player draws a card: the entire editorial weight of this filler artifact sits on the word "target." Most cantrips draw for their controller and end the sentence; this one can deal a card across the table to whoever you name, which puts it in the small family of donatable draw effects. That redirect is the only handle worth gripping. The body is a slow 3/4 and the draw costs a steep activation on top of the six to cast it, a rate that lagged the curve even in the era it comes from, where it read as ballast for a graveyard-and-threshold environment and played as exactly that. Note the timing: the card is not a death trigger that fires when something kills it. The ability is an activated one with sacrifice built into the cost, so a combat death or a removal spell gives you nothing. You have to choose to crack it yourself, which is what makes the redirect a deliberate political act rather than an accident of dying. Strip the "target player" clause away and there is nothing here: an overpriced creature that converts into a single card. Keep it in view and the card stops being a draw spell and becomes a question about who, exactly, gets the card, and what they owe you for it.
