Does unplayed Alchemist/Treasury come back?

If you have an unplayed Alchemist in hand at the end of a turn on which you play a Potion, or an unplayed Treasury in hand when you did not buy a Victory card, can you put the Alchemist or Treasury back on top of your deck?  My guess is no, as the card says, "When you discard this from play".

I have played so many games that I am surprised it came up for the first time today.   A player played a Council Room as his sole action, and drew both an Alchemist and a Potion.

Discarding from hand is not discarding from play.

So no, if you don't play an alchemist or a treasury, it doesn't go back on the deck (which is why minion is such an effective counter to such decks).

You can put them on top of your deck when you discard them from play.

Are they not in play? Then no.
