Discard

Discarding is the act of attempting to move a card from a non-discard-pile play area to a discard pile.

• If a player card is discarded, it’s placed faceup on top of the owning player’s discard pile.
• If an encounter card is discarded, it’s placed faceup on top of the encounter discard pile.
• If multiple cards are discarded simultaneously from a player’s hand or from play, place those cards in the appropriate discard pile in any order.
• If multiple cards are discarded simultaneously from a deck, place those cards in the appropriate discard pile one at a time (without changing the order).

Ref. Discard (p.14, Rules v.1.5)

A discard pile is an out-of-play area that contains cards that have been discarded throughout the game.

• Each player has their own discard pile, and the encounter deck has it’s own discard pile.
• Each discard pile is open information, and may be looked at by any player at any time.
• The order of cards in a discard pile may not be changed unless a player is instructed to do so by a card ability.
• Any ability that would shuffle a discard pile of zero cards back into a deck doesn’t shuffle the deck.
