I have a vampire with 1 blood and a temptation with 1 blood which I control. Can I tap the vampire to hunt and, before the resolution of the action, burn the 1 blood off temptation to untap the vampire, then gain a blood for the successful hunt? Vegas gNat

It very funny to put you 10 temptations on Rabbat the sewergoddes. Creating you own bloating machine. hehe

Of course the chances of a deck running like this is very slim indeed. Still, it's always seemed a little strange to me that not only can you tempt your own vampires, but you can do it more than once in a round.

I'm pretty certain you can only use a given Temptation once per round. Temptation [AH:R2, FN:PS, KMW:PB, LotN:PS3] Cardtype: Action Cost: 1 blood Discipline: Serpentis [ser] (D) Put this card on a ready vampire; you still control this card. During your master phase, you may put a counter on this card. During your minion phase, if the number of counters on this card equals or exceeds the amount of blood on this vampire, you may burn the counters to untap this vampire and take control of him or her until the end of the turn. [SER] As above, and add a counter when you play this card. "During your minion phase..., you may..." implies once per minion phase. You can do this sort of thing, but it requires one copy of Temptation per untap. - D.J.

It does follow the During X do Y template - so it would only work once during that phase (it was so seperated in the text that I didn't even notice).

Still, I've seen many a deck win just by completely outfarming everyone else and using the minion superiority to their advantage. Plus, in my example you had things like Reckless Agitation that, last time I checked, did an awefully good job at ousting players.

Base module. Hesha Ruhadze = 2 stealth hunt for 2 with [SER] Aaron's Feeding Razor = 2 stealth hunt for 3 Into the Fire + Hungry Coyote = 2 stealth hunt for 4 Sunset Strip Hollywood = 3 steath hunt for 4. Harvest Rites = 1shot +1hunt Perfectionist = 1shot +1hunt Communal Haven, Temple = move blood at start of turn Heidleburg Castle = move blood during turn Mostly repeatable, as many times as you put Temptation on Hesha. Add [pre] bleed with [obf] stealth. There are also 5 other G2/3 vampires of cap < 6 who have [pre][obf]. One of even helps get the Feeding Razor in play. Pack a bunch of both Vessels and Blood Dolls, as you'll be pulling pool like mad from numerous sources even without resorting to in-turn raves (remember, Temple is not unique, so you'll be shuffling a lot of blood during your untap) I also recommend Secure Haven. Hesha is a huge rush target when he has multiple Temptations, Vessels and Dolls.
