[Submission] Survivor of Kaymakli (HoS card removal and pool damage)

In which way removing card from the ash heap help milling deck ? If anything, deck milling is the one thing you don't want with this card.

What I see here is a potentially very powerful card, which leans Harbingers towards either milling OR Ash Heap destroying.

Thanks for all the comments.
Like any card idea, it would greatly be improved by playtest.

There are multiple possible variations:

1/ require a unique HoS or not
Requirement avoids a HoS swarm deck (and lore-speaking, Embrace can't have escaped Kaymakli, as they weren't there).
Removing the requirement make it stronger (you could expect to have in play 6 of them instead of 3)

2/ remove 1 or 2 cards
Currently, I think 1 card is too slow and makes the card ineffective. 2 cards would be better.

3/ leave the choice of the cards to the prey/the HoS/randomness
Prey = weak
HoS = strong
random = quick, but make Ghost Eater hard to play in the same deck (but the card isn't played anyway)

The purpose being to empty the ash heap, the randomness may be the better solution anyway.

4/ make it a master card
+1 stealth action can be blocked (even though NEC can help). It could take the slots currently used by Slaughterhouse for instance. I don't know if it's a good idea.

5/ grant the HoS an additional bonus such as +1 strength
Could make it useful for a different-angled deck

6/ remove the choice of removing cards or burning blood
Prey could be forced to remove cards, and if he or she can't, she burns 1 pool.

Current suggestion:

Name: Survivor of Kaymakli
Cardtype: Action
Clan: Harbinger of Skulls
+1 stealth action. Requires a unique Harbinger of Skulls.
Put this card on this vampire. If this vampire is ready during your prey's untap phase, he or she removes 2 cards at random in his or her ash heap from the game or burns 1 pool. A minion can have only one Survivor of Kaymakli.
