Too bad Approximation of Loyalty does not work well with Enkil Cog

With getting Enkil Cog? That depends on whether you use it at inferior or superior. The superior would be to make sure the bleed isn't reduced or to cancel a wake/bounce. Still works with Flurry for the untap. That DI can be good for a number of things too, not the least of which is to cancel a reaction when you are bleeding out of turn.

(It's an inside joke)

I just failed in the finals with that
I said "Oh I play approx so I can't play any more modifier" and when the bleed is successful "I play enkil cog". Well it made everyone laugh at least.

Actually I tried this deck because I played the shatter the gates version in the previous tournament, and I managed to get VP's most of the time by bleeding at 2 => pool gain is so good, especially when you can also bleed between turns, that it was the most efficient action to do with The unnamed. If you can bleed at the end of your predator turn, you simply make 5 pools per turn with the edge.

So I tweaked the deck in a bleed version.

2 reason it worked well:

- 2 Animalism decks in finals (and my Legacy of pander predator got completely destroyed by my animalism grand predator )

- It fits my lonewolf playstyle. Table talking is not my strong side ( lol ), and this deck has nothing to offer to other players - except bleed for 8. The deck requires no help from other player to survive to most predators, and kills his preys alone.

The deck made his way to finals with 0; 1gw2,5 and 1gw4 for a total of 2gw6,5.
3 vp in finals.

Enjoy : )

Congrats Tom !
