If Proxima Midnight's Hunting Spear lets you take 1 damage to stop its effect, is a card discarded?
The designer answered this card's ruling directly.

Yes. Choosing to take the damage counts as a choice, so a card is discarded. The Hero can then block the Civilian, but if that was its last card, it is knocked out.
