Hi all, Just wanted to post this hoping to get some feedback. I run all my decks at 71 cards so pay no attention to that hehe. Originally based off the Tempt me Plox deck in the TWDA, the deck runs Giotto for some of the new Baali toys. I started off with 9 copies of Temptation but have been removing those to add more bleed/toys. I found that rather Tempting the entire table, I usually focused on using the card on my two starts for some untap-shenanigans which include avoiding the infernal penalty and multi-hunting with Hesha (this is the primary bloat mechanism as well). Toys come in the form of intercept: Usual target in Carlton Van Wyk but I also added the great Unleashing Hell's Fury (might add extra copy) while Sport Bike/Mr. Winthrop/WMRH offers a solid 3 point of permacept. With Heidelberg, I'm hoping it's a cheap, compact way of blocking stuff. Meanwhile, Robert Carter and Impundulu help me lower the blood on my guys for Temptation to kick in. I would run Winter/Young Bloods but they cost pool instead of blood and am not sure it's wise with an already mediocre defense package. The rest of the deck includes some standard bleed/stealth stuff. Thouhts and suggestions much appreciated!

No combat ends? Fear of the Void Below is a poor card, better replace it with another Swallowed by the Night. Eluding the Arms of Morpheus is not very useful because you have to block. Better play On the Qui Vive. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

Eluding the Arms of Morpheus is fantastic for infernal minions. You untap, fail to block then you don't have to pay the infernal penalty. Best to use when your know the block is going to fail such as actions with default stealth like hunting, equipping and political actions. It is even better when combined with some sort of blood gain like perfectionist
