Discard a card: Regenerate Patchwork Gnomes. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)
One wizard's trash is another wizard's roving gang of abominations.
Patchwork Gnomes can regenerate even if it isn't in combat, it's already tapped, or it's undamaged.

Activating the ability creates a replacement effect that acts like a shield, replacing the next time Patchwork Gnomes would be destroyed that turn. This shield works against effects that try to destroy Patchwork Gnomes or lethal damage that would be dealt to Patchwork Gnomes.

You can activate the regeneration ability even if Patchwork Gnomes isn't at risk of being destroyed. Sometimes you need to discard cards. We understand.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
