| − | + | Since most [[terminal]] discard for benefit cards are, by their nature, [[soft terminal|soft terminals]], it doesn't hurt your deck as much to overgain them. If you have the Actions to support them, discard for benefit cards also work nicely with draw-to-X cards like {{Card|Library}}; in such cases, you can potentially draw and discard your deck several times, racking up a lot of benefit. If you're discarding {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, {{Card|Counting House}} works quite well in this role, as it doesn't have an upper limit in draw. {{Card|Menagerie}} also plays well with discard for benefit cards, as you can usually select specifically duplicate cards to discard. | |
