Digging
Cards that search through the deck until they find cards meeting some description are sometimes said to dig for those cards. Typical "digging" instructions usually follow this structure:
- Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal [X]. [Do something with X.] Discard the other revealed cards.
Digging cards are distinct from both sifters and deck inspectors.
