So you mean like if a certain ability on one card required a different card to be the discard pile in order to work?

That could certainly make a difference, but there's really no advantage since your opponent could do the exact same thing.

I am not thinking of any card/combo in mind (more of a principal). If a character said, "underdeck a card in your discard pile when this enters your territory the first time", you could discard a card first, then underdeck it. It feels a bit chaotic. I would rather have a clear order for competitive play.

but i can see in "normal" play it not really being that big of a deal.
i need to learn to read the REG first! sigh

This thread is extremely old and began a discussion by the elders and Rob way back when this took place. At that time we decided the players can perform any legal "discard phase action" in any order they choose. That ruling still stands to this day.

Yeah, the REG is pretty clear about that.
It's not very intuitive, but it's in there.

On a related note, if you shuffle 0 cards with Mayhem do you still get to draw?

Quote
Each player must shuffle their hand, or 6 cards at random from hand. Each player who does must draw 6.

Does shuffling zero still count as shuffling?
ANB is good. Change my mind.

Your hand exists regardless of the number of cards in it. Mayhem only requires you shuffle your hand, so it doesn't care if you have a hand of 0, so you still draw.

^Correct. We were very intentional with how we worded Mayhem so that a player could do that.
