I don't have a decklist, but I was his prey in the third round, so I have a
description;
It was a huge bloating machine with combat consisting of playing Invoking
the Beast with Matata "hit for 3, press, hit for 3, press, hit for 3" and
just forward Deep Song bleeding with anywhere from 4 to 7 minions. There was
some casualcept in the form of Raven Spies, Sense the Savage Way, Cat's
Guidance and Predator's Communion, which was - as far as I have seen - more
than enough to block pretty much everything in the meta of the day. Fakir Al
Sidi (who has abo and also has +1 str and a press) provided almost endless
vote defense with his special (especially when he gets a Rack...).
It looked to me like Short Chain Combat with a fair amount of +bleed and a
lot of wakes.
In all fairness, I think the player behind the deck was a lot more important
to its success than the deck itself.
