Tools of the Trade
Buff
At the start of your turn, draw 1 card and discard 1 card.
The Silent Rare Power Tools of the Trade (1 Energy, 0 once upgraded) grants a single stack.
Each stack adds one card to the hand you draw as your turn begins, so you open with 6 instead of 5.
Right after that, the game forces a pick: choose as many cards as you have stacks and discard them.
A second copy raises both numbers to 2.- The throwaway is a genuine discard, so every effect that watches for discards fires.

Notes
The selection cannot be declined; only an empty hand skips it. Because the extra card is folded into the regular draw rather than drawn afterward, you always choose from the full hand. Nothing happens on the turn you play the card; the first draw and discard arrive with your next turn. In multiplayer only the owner draws and discards.
