Deck discarder

Chancellor, a deck discarder.

A deck discarder, or Chancellor variant, is any card that puts your deck into your discard pile.

Discarding your deck means that the next time you draw cards (e.g., drawing your next hand during Clean-up), you'll reshuffle. This accelerates your cycling, enabling you to draw sooner the cards you've gained recently..
