Ancient Hearts was the second expansion set for the Vampire: The Eternal Struggle trading card game, released by Wizards of the Coast. It brought ancient Kindred into the Jyhad, many of them from the Middle Eastern World of Darkness, and introduced the vampires of the Assamite and Followers of Set clans to the game.

Among the new rules added were Contracts, which were calls for a vampire to be exterminated that allowed an Assamite to attack that Minion at any time, and Corruption, counters which represent the Setites' ability to slowly erode the loyalty of opposing Minions.
