I like the idea but would rather go with PRO for the Venenation and

Deck Name: Form of Temptation
Created by: Matt Pullen
Description:


First piece of advice - remove all of the Elixirs for something
useful. Perhaps more Venenation and Mask of 1000 Faces. I'd much
rather do the corrupting outside of combat. Or if you're going to
risk getting pounded in combat by playing a close-range equipment
strike, at least play with Revelation of Wrath.

Hell, considering that the Elixirs require either an action or a
Concealed Weapon, just replace all 18 of those with Corruption or
Revelation of Ecstasy. In reality, I would probably go with some sort
of combat defense instead of some of those cards. As it is, your deck
has no way of getting in combat (and very little reason to want to!)
and nothing worth blocking except the Revelations of Ecstasy, which
are at stealth - if blocked it will let you play Concealed Weapon and
Elixir of Distillation to do the work that the Revelation of Ecstasy
would have done by itself if you had just stealthed by. If you have a
Venenation handy, then you can make the equivalent of 2 corruption
counters with 4 cards, and now they get to pound the tar out of you.
Unless they have S:CE in which case you don't get to Elixir them at
all.
