I was a level 7 Cleric who won my fight, drew a level up card, then played the Wand of Dowsing to take a previously discarded Divine Intervention for the win. Being such a cheap way to hit level ten, a debate ensued as to whether or not go through the discards to find any one card you want means door cards as well as treasure cards.

The only solid argument against my play was that dowsing wands are used to find underground wells, but also gold coins or other treasure (in real life, that is). It seems that, being a trasure card, it could be interpreted this way. I couldn't find anything about this card's specifics in the forums...does anyone know if my play was a legal one?

    It's Munchkin. If the rule can be interpreted to give you an unfair advantage it should be.

Yes, according to Andrew Hackard (post #7), who appears to be a Steve Jackson representitive.

That seems likea legal play to me. It requires a very specific combination of cards, but if you can get it, congratulations.
