It seems like a less useful skill (since you must be drawing face-up) then say the discard-using skills of the Thief, Wizard, or Warrior...

Thoughts?
You've already been told about the discard pile, but I want to make something clear: This is not poker, one of the few games I can think of without having to think where cards are discarded face-down. I'm having a hard time coming up with a hobby card game (as opposed to traditional card games) that has a face-down discard pile.

However, there are several occasions where you draw up a face-up card. One is when you kick down the door. That's an amazingly useful time to draw the top card off the discard pile.
