The rules do not specifically state that you cannot search your deck for a card and place it on top of your deck before every turn either... but of course you cannot do this. You must follow the rules. This means: If the rules do not specifically tell you to do something, you CANNOT do it. You are not allowed to discard a card whenever you feel like it. Brian Brokaw
