There are several cards that do something when discarded from your play area (generally during Clean-up), and two cards, {{Card|Tunnel}} and {{card|Faithful Hound}}, that have special effects when discarded at any other time. There are also several cards that can instruct you to look through your discard pile, though this is generally not allowed under other circumstances. |
