Discarding your deck means that the next time you draw cards (usually during Clean-up, for your next hand) you'll reshuffle, so any cards you've gained since your previous reshuffle can be drawn. As such, deck discarders are excellent at [[cycling]].  While this ability is either optional or one of a number of choices on all of these cards, it is usually a good play to discard your deck when you can.
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.
