A possibly easy Dominion puzzle

The following cards all have something in common:

Witch
Pawn
Haven
Hovel
Pillage
Port

There is a set of three cards which have exactly the opposite property.  What are the three cards?

I am actually at a loss.

They all have fire in them? But that would be weird, especially to find 'cards with the opposite property'.

The listed cards form a new word when S is added to the front. There's also Training which is not a card.

The cards with the opposite property are Stables, Sage, and hmm I can't think of the third.

Edit: Is it Squire?

I prefer singletee's answer to mine, but Oasis, Lookout and Rogue are three piles that have more vowels than consonants, though there's also Dame Natalie.

Scrying Pool would also deserve a honorable mention in singletee's answer.

Singletee is correct!  And yes, I missed Training .

Also, Sir Martin is an honorable mention for the first list, in a cryptic fashion.

I'll comfort myself knowing that English is not my first language.

Ah, yes, that would make this a lot more difficult.

Wouldn't the exact opposite be removing an S from the end of the word?  I guess it's ambiguous what "exact opposite" exactly means when there are multiple aspects to oppose.

I suppose for the third you could have a crying pool.
