So if you have Wendy's Amulet in play and then play Winging it from your discard, what happens?
Does it goto the bottom of your deck or do you shuffle it in? Players choice?

QuoteFrom Rules Reference Page 10 under Effects:
All aspects of an effect have timing priority over all“after...” triggering conditions that might arise as aconsequence of that effect.(For example, if an effect reads“Gain 3 resources and draw 3 cards,” resolve both aspectsof the effect (gaining resources and drawing cards) beforeinitiating an ability that reads “After drawing a card...”)
By this, I believe Winging It always shuffles into your deck, because it happens immediately after the effects are resolved and the shuffle is part of the effect. Also, Forced: is a new trigger that fires after the last trigger has resolved.
Edited by C2KFrom an official response about Wendy's Amulet here: "The Forced effect triggers after the event is played, before it is placed in your discard pile. If the event would not enter the discard pile at this time (for example an event that attaches to a location, such as Lure, or stays in play for a period of time), then this Forced effect does not trigger. In other words, Lure would be discarded as normal, because it is being discarded at a time other than 'after you play it'."
What this means for Winging It and Improvised Weapon is that if you use the text on the cards to play them from your discard pile, you do not put them on the bottom of your deck but instead shuffle them into your deck, because they were never going to the discard pile in the first place and so Wendy's Amulet doesn't trigger.
However, if they're the top card of your discard pile I believe you have a choice - you can play them "as if they were in your hand" using Wendy's Amulet, and doing so won't cause the extra effects on Improvised Weapon/Winging It to trigger, meaning they'll go to the bottom of your deck and you don't get the kicker of extra damage/clue (there is some possible contention there, as the extra damage/clue is not a direct result of using the card text to play it from your discard but instead just "if you played it from your discard pile", but I believe that Wendy's Amulet switches off that kicker because you're playing it "as if it were in your hand").
So in summary: Shuffled into your deck, unless it's the top event in your discard and you want to not get the extra clue, at which point you can choose to put at the bottom of your deck.
