Vault, a discard for benefit card.

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.

List of cards

Cards in italics have been removed.

Discard any number of cards

Discard a set number of cards for a non-scaling benefit

Sickness and the Attacks performed by Mountebank and Torturer in effect lets players discard cards to not gain junk cards.

Discard itself (as a Reaction)

Cards that benefit from being discarded

Some cards give an extra benefit if they themselves are discarded by some effect.

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.
