Super Munchkin Sidekick Question

[MunchkinMan]

A card that represents a Sidekick that is in your hand is not a Sidekick, it is a card. If some effect says "Discard a Sidekick," then the "in play" is strongly implied, since the rules clearly state that a card in your hand is a card, even if that card could represent something else when in play, and not the thing it could represent. The same goes for Item, Class, Race, Power, Style, Training, Accent, Loyalty, Mojo, Hireling, Minion, Ally, Steed, Ship, Monster, Curse, and Trap*.

So, if something says to discard a Class, for example, it means to discard one that is in play, whether it says "in play" or not, since if it's not in play, a Class card isn't a Class.
