"History Repeats Itself!"
 

Hi,

So if there is no disaster on top of the discard pile, nothing will happen ? Or Do we need to look through the discard pile and apply the closest the disaster ?

IS there anyway for the munchkin who opened the seal to avoid or cancel the disaster's effect ?

Thanks in advance

Look through the discards, starting at the top, until you reach a Disaster. That's the one you apply to everyone.

As the card says, no.

For what it's worth, the phrase "top {card type} in the discard pile" always means the first card of that card type from the top of the appropriate discard pile. Otherwise, the card would have to say "on top," like Daredevil found in Munchkin Apocalypse 2:Sheep Impact, does in its Adrenaline Junkie ability.
