Rationale
3cmc legendary 1/4 with ETB and upkeep mill; generates Treasure, Insect token, or Blood depending on what was milled. Signature in self-mill/graveyard-matters shells that care about milling and token production. Slow setup requiring mill-payoff density and graveyard synergies to shine; commander-dependent in that the upkeep trigger requires it to survive and enable further turns of value.
