Trash for benefit
Trash for benefit (or "TfB") are trashers that provide a benefit based on the trashed card, normally based on its cost. Cards that specifically gain another card based on the trashed card's cost are remodelers.
Terminal TfB cards are usually soft terminals; when they collide with an expendable Action, they can use it for fodder, sometimes even to gain or buy a Province.
