So you would untap Enkil Cog if Shalmath's bleed is blocked during your prey's turn ?

Well, if we were to follow Boris' logic:
- a blocked (unsuccessful) action to burn Shatter the Gates doesn't burn Shatter the Gates, therefore you don't pay the cost for something you didn't do
- tapping Enkil Cog is a cost of attempting the action and a blocked action is an attempted action, therefore you pay the cost.

Correct.
Floppy, you forgot to quote card text

Name: Enkil Cog
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Requires a vampire of capacity 10 or more. Unique.
Only usable when this vampire successfully bleeds your prey (play after resolution). Put this card on this vampire. During any Methuselah's minion phase, this vampire may tap this card to attempt an action. This vampire has +1 bleed.

Cost: tap this card
Effect: attempt an action

A blocked action is far past attempting the action.
