1. No, unfortunately. The card returned to the top of the encounter deck is face down, and revealed from the deck during staging as usual. The fact that you already happen to know what that card is, is irrelevant.2. Something I wondered about as well. Since there is nothing in the rules about the order, I assumed all shadow discards happen simultaneously and therefore become subject to the rule that if things need to happen simultaneously, the first player decides the order in which they happen. So you could then stack the discard pile in your favour.
Good to see another player using SOTP, it's a great card for encounter deck control.
