Hi folks!
On my way back home I had this little idea how I should build my Temptation deck, so here it is:
The basic idea is that I get back a lot of pool from my vampires through the Villeins. Samat Ramal-Ra will hunt with Abactor and Heidelberg can be used to transfer that blood to other vampires. Later on I will use the Heidelberg on the tempted vampires. I have 12 Temptations in a 60 card deck, so I should be able to spam them very fast.
Now I wonder if this is enough to win a game. I have the ability to create a lot of pool and will have most likely at least 4 vampires of my own. I've never played with Temptation before, so I have no idea if you can win a game with this card. Well, it's time to test now!

Temptation sucks when you're surrounded by big cap vampires but you know, that's vtes and this can happen.
ReplyDeleteRemember that you can play temptation on your vampires in order to earn an extra untap!
Some blood denial tech would be a good move. Putting out lots of Temptations isn't particularly helpful if none of them can be triggered for several turns. All these would help, and you should be able to afford them if your plan to bloat works:

@ John Eno: Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking of these cards, but to I am afraid of playing allies. Our metagame used to have many ally stealing cards. Well I haven't played on a regular base since a while so thinks might have changed.
ReplyDeleteWhat works great with temptation is restricted vitae to deny hunt escape. Only problem is that it does not work well with abactor so it probably does not fit into your deck.
ReplyDeleteI would also add some permanent bleeding tech to finish your prey faster (combined with Heidelberg is works wonders). Form of corruption and Khobar Towers are also classics on FoS decks.
ReplyDelete@ Dr. Mafrune: yes, perma bleed seems to be a good iedea with Heidelberg. I think Robert Carter may be the way to go. That would be a +4 bleed/turn.
