I always try to put Form of Corruption, Temptation and/or Edge Vitiation into my FoS decks.
Form of Corruption often disrupts your prey's play - which is sometimes worth the card slot.
Temptation can be used offensively or defensively on prey or predator. The targeted vampires are often seen hunting, even if not really necessary. ;)
Edge Vitation is a very cool card, totally under-estimated, which is also having a psychological effect on your predator.

Though Revelations of Ecstasy are also useful for tapping nasty blockers, you might consider removing them completely. Revelations of Desire give +1 bleed on normal, that should suffice in the long run.

Have you considered Crocodile Temple for extra annoyance?

And also on your own vampire, as a dirt cheap and stackable Rutor Hand.

Exactly! There are no downsides to using Temptations - there will always be a situation where it's useful! :laugh:

Vote for Temptation!

There used to be other non-bleed actions in the deck, but I took them all out in favor of streamlining it. Every minion should bleed for 2+ at stealth each turn. In this way I've overrun Maris Streck, among other natural foes of stealth bleed.

I've never used Temptation much, it seems too corner-case to me. Maybe I'll think of something I'd like to do with it.

The base idea is to get a temptation on one of your vampire, so on following turn he can do stealth bleed, then an Enticement. At worst, you store an action in a "calm" turn to better overwhelm your prey ; at best, you entice every turn. (or use the action for any non-bleed interesting action ; other temptation, form of corruption, torpor rescue ...)

Of course, you can also use it, even cross table, when an interesting vampire is low on blood to retrieve action from it.

Vessel help a lot with blood management when you tempt yourself

You should try some Temptations. They are really fun to play.

Regarding bleeding for 2 or more at stealth, you could try and put in the weenies with :ser: and no :obf: and use Form of the Serpent. Add more Path of Typhoon, and you should be ok. The occasional Cloak or Veil will ensure most bleeds to be successful. And that is only for the guys without :obf:.
I tried such a deck with mixed results once, but our meta here in Vienna is extremely competitive, with lots of bounce and intercept...
