+ Look at the top 5 cards of your deck. Either discard all of them, or put them back on top of your deck in any order. |
Navigator is an Action card from Seaside. It is a terminal Silver, meaning that it gives you + but no +Action; it is also a deck inspector, so when played, it lets you look at the next 5 cards in your deck and discard them if you don't like them. It can be used to greatly speed up cycling, and can sometimes help you skip past all of your bad cards.

- If there still aren't 5, you just look at however many are left, and put them back or discard them.

It's a pretty simple card. It can increase your deck cycling by 5 cards at a time, which is very nice. It can also let you pick whether to keep your next hand or not, which can be useful if you're looking to hit particular cards (like cursers,Rebuild) or price points (such as for Gold or for Province in Big Money games), or if your deck is filled with junk (like Curses, Ruins, or alt-VP).
The ability to re-order the cards revealed by Navigator can be of assistance to a player deploying an engine using Village or other draw-type cards in order to fix the cards drawn later in the turn (either to add more coin or Action cards into the turn, or to deliberately draw Victory cards with surplus draws in order to make the next hand better). Similarly, Navigator can be used to set up cards for Loan and Venture to draw during the buy phase.
