you essentially can't create any cards with a powerful effect triggered during a power such as Swab, or it can just be combined with one or another cleric's healing power to remove the downside of one or both. It's just something to be considered.

Agree, but then again, it would have to be: armor, ally, 2-handed-weapon or a divine-trait-card with a "when you are required to shuffle" trigger to be able to use it in that action window and shuffle or recharge cost (burry and banish would be worse).

I've actually wondered in the past why the generic cleric ability hasn't always been display, largely for this type of confusion. This feels like a case of, currently legal within the rules, but goes against the intent of the design.

Thats why I posted the question - looks legit, but doesn't feel like it. There is a potential window of action between the "reveal a card to activate the power" and "then discard that card" that could allow you to use that card in a way that could remove it from your hand.

But to be fair this is a very specific situation:

- AFAIK Swab is the only card that has the interrupt-like power: "when you are required to shuffle" - reveal and shuffle this card.

- AFAIK there are only 2 Swabs in all S&S

- it only happens if Heggal has the Swabs AND heals himself

Taking into account that he supposedly is the best healer, especially in the rejuvenator role - is it even worth addressing?

The "You may not reveal the same card for its power more than once per check or step" rule doesn't apply here - the reveals are for different card powers:

1) Use Heggal's power (to heal himself): Instead of 1st exploration Heggal reveals Swab to shuffle 1d4+1 random cards from his discard pile...

2) Use Swab's power (he is still in your hand): reveal Swab when you are required to shuffle random cards from your discard pile, choose them instead and shuffle him into your deck too.

...then discard Swab - you can't, he is not in your hand anymore.
