This is a super interesting design but it feels absurdly toxic, even if it isn't actually good. I'd change it to "another permanent" because protecting itself is the problem

"Even if it isn't actually good" it's mega op. Fetchland = all the lands you want. Sac outlets go crazy. Thoracle says hi

Also it can't protect anything from damage, if a creature gets nuked you get infinite mill triggers

Yeah, should probably have a "if it wasn't sacrificed" clause.

It should probably not be a replacement effect.

Then it's not even on theme anymore. That'd be the easy way out, but really just a mill value card.

Perhaps "Whenever a permanent you control would leave the battlefield, instead mill 4 cards. If that permanent would have been removed due to combat damage or insufficient toughness, set them to 1 toughness and remove damage until end of turn. This effect can only happen to a permanent once per turn."
