FAQ
Official FAQ
- You may discard any type of card, but can gain only an Action card.
- If you discard an Action card, you can gain a copy of it.
Other rules clarifications
- If you do discard, you have to gain an Action card if there is one to gain.
Strategy
If you can overdraw your deck with a Wheelwright and a high-cost card (such as Province, Gold or Loot) in hand, then you can repeatedly discard that high-cost card to gain all the Wheelwrights. Or other cards, if you happen to have several.

Trivia
Preview
Embassy is dull but okay; it lost out on numbers. It was a borderline card that people really didn't need to exist.
Wheelwright is unrelated. You discard a thing to gain a thing. Another way to discard those Tunnels and Weavers. And note that it's the second new way to gain cards, for the set where cards do things when you gain them.
Secret History
This tried out for Seaside first, but was a good fit here, where it can activate when-discard abilities, or discard expensive cards that came with stuff.
