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.

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

[edit] Rules

Putting your deck into your discard pile does not count as discarding each card individually; using this ability does not activate TunnelsTunnel.jpg, Faithful HoundFaithful Hound.jpgs, or Village GreenVillage Green.jpgs.

[edit] Strategy

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 section or the Chancellor Strategy section.
