Control Deck Tech Choice against Wheel Lock

The real play is to play Helya early (no reason to hold her)

When they use wheel…

Down with the Ship 2x on face for 6
Frozen over x2 (DKs don’t run this though)

They will take 6 damage
It’ll make the lock draw 4x plagues (8 damage)
Then take 1 fatigue (1 damage)
Then draw 4x plagues (8 damage)
Then take 2 fatigue (2 damage)
Then draw 4x plagues (8 damage)
Then take 3 fatigue (3 damage)
Then draw 4x plagues (8 damage)
Then take 4 fatigue (4 damage)
Then end turn
They draw 4x plagues (8 damage)
They take 5 fatigue (5 damage)

When drawing multiple cards, it should reshuffle the plagues in after each individual draw.

So that should OTK the lock even through their weapon.

If they don’t have it equipped, I think 1x frozen over is enough… so plague DKs can focus on trying to discover one if they aren’t hard running it, or toss it in an ETC.

The harder part is not dying to the deck’s beat down pressure thanks to forge of wills.
