So, assuming 40% of a player's deck is land:

16% chance of attacking and remaining a 2/2.
48% chance of attacking as a 3/3
36% chance of attacking a s 4/4

Or 100% if you know what the top two cards of your opponent's library are.

I find a mechanical reminder text using another (and non-standard) mechanic within it somewhat jarring.

Define 'mechanic'.

Do you mean keyword actions?
Is cast a spell a mechanic? Draw a card? Put a +1/+1 counter? Gain life? Sacrifice? Tap? Exile? Etc.

Heh, asking Vitenka to be precise about his words... good luck with that ;)

In this case it's pretty clear he meant it's jarring to see a keyword mechanic containing a keyword action. That'd be the case even if the keyword action was scry, investigate, proliferate or what-have-you. It's not particularly a comment about your "mill" terminology, which is clearly comprehensible to most of us on here even if not most new players.
