Cleric and hoard daisy-chaining

[Clipper]

Short Answer: Hoard! isn't discarded until after the complete, original Treasure draw occurs (see the quoted FAQ entry below).

Long Answer: While you are correct that Hoard! cannot be chained, you're wrong on when it activates, bonetm. It does activate as soon as it is drawn, absolutely immediately, and anything drawn by it becomes part of the Treasure set before distribution.

The correct timing description is as follows. Let's continue with the example that the monster had 4 Treasures and Hoard! was the second card in the pile.

1. The Cleric needs to draw 4 face-Up Treasures and decides how many Treasures he wishes to Resurrect. Let's say 2.
2. The Cleric discards 2 cards, not to the discard pile, but to a separate pile on the table, for now.
3. The Cleric draws 2 cards from the Treasure discard pile and 2 from the Treasure deck and adds them to the Treasure set for distribution. Hoard! was one of those drawn from the discards.
4. The Cleric must play Hoard! immediately, and adds Hoard! to the cards he discarded in step 2.
5. The Cleric needs to draw 3 face-Up Treasures to resolve Hoard! and decides how many Treasures he wishes to Resurrect. Let's say 1.
6. The Cleric discards 1 more card to the pile of current discards.
7. The Cleric draws 1 card from the Treasure discard pile and 2 cards from the Treasure deck and adds them to the Treasure set.
8. The 6 Treasures in the Treasure set are now distributed as per the agreement made with the Helper.
9. The set of discards, which now totals 4 cards, including Hoard!, is now discarded by the Cleric in the order he chooses (as it is his turn).

Note that Hoard! is not discarded until after all the other effects occur. It is impossible to chain it twice in the same Treasure draw. This is also covered by an FAQ entry:

Q. Can a cleric use Hoard over and over by discarding it before he starts drawing his three cards, and drawing it again, and discarding it and drawing three more, and so on?
A. No. Discard Hoard AFTER the three cards are drawn. GREAT try, though!
