Card that do something other than drawing cards as compensation for (usually optional) discarding are [[discard for benefit]] cards. Cards that reveal (and eventually discard) cards while looking for specific other cards are [[digging]] cards. | Card that do something other than drawing cards as compensation for (usually optional) discarding are [[discard for benefit]] cards.

Terminal sifters are usually more useful in the context of an [[engine]], or in [[big money]] strategies. Without [[Village (card category)|village]] support, they are highly likely to draw Actions dead, given their higher draw, though this is mitigated by their discarding requirement. This makes them very useful for big money, as they can concentrate your Treasures in hand while skipping over Victory cards. Terminal sifters are especially improved by on-demand +Actions like Villagers and {{Card|Coin of the Realm}}, since these effects allow you to sift for villages rather than having them in your starting hand. | Terminal sifters are usually more useful in the context of an [[engine]], or in [[big money]] strategies.
