Discard for benefit cards are those that, usually optionally, let you discard cards in order to get some other effect. If that effect is drawing, the card is considered a sifter. Some cards like Scholar make you discard your entire hand before drawing cards up to a set handsize; these cards fall under the category of draw-to-X.

[edit] Cards that benefit from being discarded
Some cards give an extra benefit if they themselves are discarded by some effect.
[edit] Strategy
Discard for benefit effects can be used to reduce your handsize before using a draw-to-X effect or other effect that benefits from a small handsize (like Diplomat). They can also be used to remove duplicate cards from your hand before using Menagerie, or to activate on-discard effects like that of Tunnel.
