Old Rutstein

Mill has always been a resource you spend on your opponent, a clock that grinds their library toward zero. This design inverts the direction entirely: the milling points at your own deck, and every card that falls off the top becomes a token whose type is dictated by the card's type. Lands mint Treasure, creatures spawn Insects, everything else bleeds a Blood token. The result is a self-mill engine that never cares what it hits, because there is no whiff: the deck's composition is the only variable, and a builder who wants more ramp runs more lands, one who wants bodies runs more creatures, one who wants a discard-and-draw loop runs spells. The 1/4 body is the tell about its role; this is not a beater but a governor, a wall that sits behind a defensive line and manufactures a slow, diversified stream of value on each upkeep. What sharpens the design is that the mill also stocks a graveyard as a byproduct, so the same trigger that builds a board also fuels the recursion and reanimation strategies black-green has always leaned on. It asks a builder to treat their own library as a factory floor and tune the raw material accordingly.
