Putting your whole deck in the discard pile means that the next time you draw cards you will [[reshuffle]]. This accelerates your [[cycling]], giving faster access to the cards you've gained recently. For more detailed strategic advice refer to the Strategy sections of the individual cards, for example the [[Scavenger#Strategy|Scavenger Strategy section]] or the [[Chancellor#Strategy|Chancellor Strategy section]].  
+
Discarding your deck means that the next time you draw cards (usually during Clean-up, for your next hand) you'll reshuffle, so any cards you've gained since your previous reshuffle can be drawn. As such, deck discarders are excellent at [[cycling]].  While this ability is either optional or one of a number of choices on all of these cards, it is usually a good play to discard your deck when you can.

Deck discarders [[combo]] with {{Card|Stash}}; their frequent reshuffling allows you to stack your deck with Stashes, guaranteeing a {{Card|Province}} buy.
