Mill four cards. You may put a permanent card from among them into your hand. You gain 1 life. (To mill four cards, put the top four cards of your library into your graveyard.)
Predicted power
Standard 33 Eng.D-Usr.

It can filter toward lands or permanent payoffs while stocking the graveyard, but it neither ramps nor affects the board and is far less efficient than Standard's best cheap selection.

Best home Mono-Green LandfallBand fringeConfidence 55%

Could be wrong if Unrevealed graveyard or land-recursion payoffs could turn the four-card mill from minor selection into meaningful engine support.

Pioneer 41 Eng.D+Usr.

Greasefang shells can use four cards of self-mill and occasionally retain another permanent, but this is slower and less reliable than dedicated graveyard enablers.

Best home Greasefang ParhelionBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if Its value rises if existing Greasefang lists need both selective digging and an additional self-mill effect at this mana cost.

Modern 29 Eng.FUsr.

Instant Reanimator can exploit the mill, but two mana to mill four with only conditional card neutrality is below Modern's usual graveyard-enabler rate.

Best home Instant ReanimatorBand speculativeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if A resilient reanimation shell that values holding up interaction before end-step setup could make the instant timing matter more.

Legacy 21 Eng.FUsr.

Lands can value graveyard stocking and permanent selection, but Legacy's cheap cantrips and specialized graveyard tools leave little room for this modest effect.

Best home LandsBand speculativeConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if A permanent-heavy green graveyard list with a specific need for instant-speed self-mill could provide a narrow home.

Pauper 39 Eng.DUsr.

At common, milling four while replacing itself with a permanent is plausible graveyard support, but it is slow and does not directly advance the board.

Best home Green graveyard decksBand fringeConfidence 56%

Could be wrong if Its adoption depends on whether a competitive green graveyard shell values this selection more than existing landcycling and self-mill options.

Commander 47 Eng.C-Usr.

Permanent-dense recursion decks get cheap instant-speed selection plus four cards of fuel, though the spell is replaceable and weak outside that plan.

Best home Green graveyard-recursion decksBand role-playerConfidence 57%

Could be wrong if Its score falls if optimized lists prefer direct tutors, recursion, or self-mill that produces more immediate card advantage.

Limited 58 Eng.C+Usr.

Most Limited decks have enough lands and creatures for reliable card-neutral selection, and the mill has upside with revealed graveyard themes, though it lacks board impact.

Best home Green graveyard decksBand solidConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if Unknown draft speed, permanent density, and graveyard payoffs could make this either strong smoothing or merely slow filler.

Graveyard permanent selection

“A two-mana, card-neutral permanent selector whose main value is filling the graveyard, but whose rate is strained in eternal formats.”
