monk - 3$
+2$
you may discard a card.
look through your discard pile. put one card from your discard pile on the bottom of your deck.

you can use a good card twice a shuffle with it but then it will maybe miss the reshuffle so the effect is minor.
you also can put a card you just gained into your deck i think there will be a few nice combos with it but non weems to be to strong.
and at least it is a handsize reducer for watchtower etc. or a tunnel enabler (it can put the gold you gaind directly in you deck)

how do you like it?

At first i thought, nice idea. It has some kind of miniature-but-directed Chancellor-effect, or an after-the-fact Watchtower one.
Balanced, nice.
But it might resemble Scavenger a bit too much.

EDIT: Ooops, i read top of deck. That's something different, now...

I think you might want to put a 'If you do' after the discard, or very small times would you want to do that.


"you may discard a card. If you do look through your discard pile. put one card from your discard pile on the bottom of your deck."

Otherwise players could just ignore that bit

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Yes! 

Although it's not that expensive... And there are a number of cards that would love to be played more frequently.

What's wrong with that? I don't understand why you'd want the pulling a card from your discard bit to be contingent on discarding a card.

I assumed it was meant to be a penalty to allow you to do the good bit

I assumed it was a safeguard against your discard being empty. If you have a spare dead Action in your hand, you can discard it and then put it on the bottom of your deck.
