Aquatica
When the Healer plays a card from the discard pile, does that card still count as on top of the pile while it resolves, so its on-top bonus applies?
Two readings have support and no designer post decides between them.

Unsettled. A 2025 reply reads the Healer as playing the card from the pile, so the card beneath becomes the new top and the played card's on-top bonus does not apply. A 2023 reply cites a designer view that the played card is not in the discard pile while it resolves, which would let the bonus apply. No designer ruling settles it.
