Scavenger and Tunnel

When Tunnel is discarded other than during clean up, you can get a gold.

If I have a Tunnel in my deck and I play a Scavenger, it would seem that Tunnel is being discarded as I put my deck into my discard pile.

But that doesn't seem to be the case online. Should it be?

It's not being discarded, it's being put into your discard pile, and so it doesn't trigger and you can't get a Gold. The online implementation handles it correctly.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

"It's not being discarded, it's being put into your discard pile"

Wow, this could really be argued that if something is put into the discard pile, it is being discarded.

Just like if I put something into my trash can, it is being trashed. No matter how I say it, it ends up in the trash can.

BUT, I get what you are saying and in Dominion parlance there is a subtle difference that has meaning.

When you gain a card, you put it to your discard pile as well, yet the card is not being "discarded", right?


And the rulebook for Scavenger says:
Quote from: Dark Ages rulebook
Putting your deck into your discard pile will not trigger Tunnel (from Hinterlands).

Note that Scavenger (and Chancellor before that) were specifically worded that way to avoid triggering such things.
