  The paid version of chesstempo allows you to search the problem database for all kinds of [tactical motifs](https://chesstempo.com/tactical-motifs.html). Depending on your exact definition of "decoy tactic", you should look for what they call "attraction", "distraction", "clearance", "coercion", "sacrifice" and perhaps more.
