Watcher of the Wayside
Mill has spent most of its history bolted to blue, occasionally to black, because those colors traditionally owned graveyard interaction. A colorless Golem that fills a yard on arrival deliberately widens who gets to reach for that axis: any deck, any color, can run this and start stacking cards in a graveyard from turn three onward. The load-bearing detail is the target-player clause. Point the two-card mill at yourself when you want fuel for a delve or reanimation or threshold payoff; point it at an opponent when you would rather run a slow mill clock or knock a known card off the top of their library. The two life is the softener, a small return that means the card is never pure downside on the turns when there is no graveyard payoff to feed and you are just deploying a 3/2 body. Nothing here reaches for the ceiling: a body this size that mills two and gains two is a floor. But the floor is the point. This is common-rarity artifact plumbing built to hand graveyard and self-mill shells an option outside their usual colors, and to give any other deck a creature that does a little something on its way to the board. It should be measured by the engine it serves, not by the numbers stamped on the frame.
