Scavenger, a deck discarder.

A deck discarder is any card that puts your deck into your discard pile. The type of effect was introduced with the now-removed Chancellor.

• Chancellor - archetype for this category

Rules

Putting your deck into your discard pile does not count as discarding each card individually; using this ability does not activate Tunnels, Faithful Hounds, or Village Greens.

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.
