Mechanics
- Gaining Benefits From Going To Discard From Play
Samurai's mechanic revolves around getting benefits after one of their minions goes to the discard pile from play. This can happen for example when the minion is destroyed, or when it's discarded from a base either because it scored or because it's removed. The benefits are quite varied, including card draws, power boosts, VPs or extra card plays.
