Lately a number of questions came up regarding Khazar's Diary (Endless Night), so here's a short "Questions and Answers" summary, for the card. Most of the information is taken from the Usenet newsgroup "rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad":Q: When I put "Khazar's Diary" into play, does it receive one counter immediately?
A: No. When announcing the action you must either decide to put the card into play or you can add one counter to the card.
Q: Can I burn "Nocturns", "Shambling Hordes", "War Ghouls", "Tupdogs", etc. for putting a counter on "Khazar's Diary"?
A: No, no, no! All of the above minions are not unique, and therefore are not eligible for adding a counter to "Khazar's Diary" when burned.
Q: Can I put multiple "Khazar's Diary" into play? Does each of them receive a counter when a unique minion in play is burned?
A: Yes, you can put multiple "Khazar's Diary" into play, and yes, each of the copies of "Khazar's Diary" get a counter when a unique minion is burned in play. On the other hand when choosing to use the action to put a counter on a "Khazar's Diary" you'll have to choose one target only.
But this gives you no additional benefit, after one of the "Khazar's Diary" has seven or more counters, it doesn't matter when a second one reaches the critical threshold of seven counters. The only situation where this may matter is when there are two different player's in the game where both of them are playing a "Khazar's Diary" deck.
Also adding more than seven counters to "Khazar's Diary" is possible, but it does not give you any further benefit.
Q: Does it make a difference if a vampire is burned as part of diablerie or if an ally is burned outside of combat?
A: No, in both cases "Khazar's Diary" gets a counter, it doesn't really matter how a unique minion is burned, as long as it is burned, and not removed from game or moved by other means from the ready region.
Q: Does "Khazar's Diary" gets a counter when a contested vampire or ally is yielded?
A: No, the unique minion needs to be in play when burned. Since a contested minion is not in play when he is yielded, he does not fulfill the requirement for putting a counter on "Khazar's Diary" .
Q: When I put "a minion from any ash heap into play to represent a wraith" can I play "Breath of Thanatos" or "Shroud Mastery" as action modifiers?
A: No. You're merely putting the wraiths into play, but you're not recruiting them. Since recruiting a wraith is a requirement for playing both "Breath of Thanatos" or "Shroud Mastery", you cannot use these actions modifiers for the inherent action provided by "Khazar's Diary".
Q: When I take an action to put an wraith into play by taking an ally or vampire from another players ash heap, is this a directed or an undirected action?
A: It is always an undirected action.
