Rationale
3cmc 3/3 menace Weasel with an attack-trigger that mills until a nonland, then lets you cast it by discarding a card. Evasive tempo threat that generates card advantage if combat connects. Menace prevents pure chump-blocking, making it a signature tempo/midrange card. Risk: attack-trigger-only means it whiffs if blocked or the opponent trades; also requires hand density to reliably use the discard casting mode.
