One of Each: Taking Advantage of the Ash Heap

Notice how in the smaller expansion, there are one new card for each discipline? Well, this is the first in what will hopefully become a series "One of Each" where I take a common theme and come up with a card for each discipline.

Today's theme is "Taking advantage of the ash heap." Ideally, your prey's ash heap. This was in part inspired by the recent discussion of "milling" cards. For those of you not familiar with the term, "milling" is the idea of burning cards from you opponents deck. It comes from Magic: the Gathering, where you can lose the game if you run out of cards.

In Vampire, you don't lose by running out of cards, so "milling" is not a winning strategy, but there are cards that burn cards from the library. These card ideas are perhaps ways to include milling as part of a strategy.

I neglected "Obeah." Oh well. Someone else come up with one.
