To trash is to remove a card from your deck, placing it in an area called the trash or trash pile. This is distinct from discarding, which removes a card from your hand or other area to your discard pile, waiting to be shuffled back into your deck. Trashing a card usually means removing it permanently from your deck, although there are a small number of cards, chiefly GraverobberGraverobber.jpg and RogueRogue.jpg, that can retrieve a card from the trash, and one card, FortressFortress.jpg, which can never leave your deck through trashing. In addition to these, ForagerForager.jpg has an effect that depends on what is in the trash. Cards that can send cards to the trash include trashers and trashing Attacks; cards that trash themselves are often called one-shots.

The most frequently trashed cards include those of the 10-card starting deck (CoppersCopper.jpg and EstatesEstate.jpg or Shelters); trashing these weak cards has the effect of making your deck cycle more rapidly and have a greater concentration of strong cards. However, it is sometimes desirable to trash valuable cards using so-called trash-for-benefit cards, which give greater benefits when trashing more valuable cards.
